Bournemouth - Nottingham Forest
Look, we've been here before with this second hal performance being better. We were 2-0 down, Bournemouth took there foot off the gas as they didn't see us as a threat. Why bust a gut to score 3 or 4 when you can conserve some energy with a frantic fixture list over the coming weeks.

We said the same after the Cardiff game when we were losing 2-0.

Its not as if we then continue to play well in the next match when the game is still competitive.

Truth is we have now lost two in a row. We've failed to score in either and that hope of building up a bit of momentum or hoping we had turned the corner has gone.

Our run of fixtures now is tough. We will need more than a few good performances once the game is lost to turn this around.

Routine win by them. Take one of your few chances and control the game from there. Doesnt necessarily mean we were embarrassing, we were just beaten by a better team on the night.

played ok, sort of like watching the same game every week in some ways

needs changes in gear and extreme shifts in tactics, chuck on 3 subs on 60 minutes

what happened to even taking off a defender and putting on a striker

probably would of made sense to save all the key players for Swansea

the big red file of notes and instructions, rip that shite up, it means a player follows instructions and doesn't take full responsiblity to making an impact in the game, most of these have been professional footballers for 10 plus years

This team was brought for promotion. Not sure from what division. We look so far off the pace.

Gonna be a long season.

Don't think it is embarrassing. Good teams will lose here. 

I simply disagree with those that said it was a good second half performance (or at least better). I felt the game was over with that second goal and after that Bournemouth simply didn't need to go for it. They controlled the game and we looked distinctly unthreatening for the remainder of the game

Or alternatively we played better, pushed them further back and put them under pressure. We created a few chances, had more possession and didn't concede further chances.

First goal is Figgs and Christie asleep - second is Colback being a t**t- solvable was going nowhere and just ran into him- did it again in the last minute. We are shocking and look like what we are. A collection of mercenary footballers after the pay day on a short term deal to take as much as they can for the smallest of effort.

To be fair Christie had a player behind him who he had to cover.

Are you on the wind up Wassy? I can’t believe you’ve typed that without your tongue in your cheek!?

It baffles me that when we attack nobody's up... and when we defend nobody's back....

Give me just one positive from tonight’s debacle.

Thought Sammy played quite well and caused them a few problems.

Oh and I got maximum points in the prediction league so thats 2.
