Take the point and forget that game. Don't care about the league cup just beat Leeds in the league now.
Looks like Everton and Southampton are gone but the third spot is going to the wire.

Were picking up points every game now. You cant fault that but this feels like a lost opportunity today.

A draw must have been priority and that was achieved. Not pretty maybe not deserved but a point away and not losing too B is a good result!

I think all teams from 12th Downwards are vulnerable. Palace look strong, West ham have too much quality, surely? Bournmouth were the better team today and what i've seen of Leeds they are no pushover. fingers crossed Everton go down and the mini revival by the horrible Nathan Jones team has faltered. We are not out of the woods by any means but keep scraping the points and matching the bottom 3 results and we should be OK. Some really difficult games coming up including Man city and Liverpool.

Surridge looked decent when he came on. Maybe all he needed to improve his game was a bit of Wood...

Positives
- Every single away point in this league is very very hard earned and we got it!
- Hennessey looked solid and kept us in it with a top save at 0-1.
- Jonno looked dangerous even if end product was not always there.
- Danilo got minutes under his belt.
- Scarpa looked very good.
- Williams excellent.
- Great tactical subs (3 of them?).
- VAR saved away fans a cold swim
Negatives
- Response to Yates disallowed goal.
- Somebody kidnapped Aurier and replaced him with a lookalike out of The Sunday League. Hope he is rescued in time for ManUnited game.
- Bournemouth opened us up a few too many times for my liking.
- Mangala seemed to struggle, Scarpa played his role very impressively though.
- Looked like Yates was suffering with concussion related head problem.
Overall the point is massive in the circumstances. I'm sure as we all calm down everyone can see that.

Didn’t have chance to watch but doesn’t sound like I missed much. Very very important away point against a rival, happy with that. Was starting to think Bournemouth were the Premier League version of Walsall for us.
Do we know whats up with Yates? Surely cant be concussion over a week later?

Concussion can last for up to two or more weeks apparently Sal. Obviously it depends on the severity in the first place
