Bournemouth (A) - Saturday 11th March 3pm

No changes for 2nd half

Wow. Pretty poor first half. Deserve to be behind really. Luckily go into the break drawing. Hopefully Billic reboots them into action second half.

Kouyate is not a right back numerous times his positioning is incorrect including for the second pen when he doesn't follow his man - get Byram on. With Noble on a yellow and the game a bit testy I'd take him off, Kouyate into DCM. I think Snod would be more effective so Feg off too.

Finally, we seem to be playing 4;4;1;1 and again Lanz out left but drifting in - when on the ball he's doing good work but weak defensively on the wing and not seeing the ball enough - get him central in a 4;2;3;1 where he can see the ball more!!

We really are rather poor, aren't we. Bournemouth haven't won since 2016 and yet they're beating us quite comfortably.

Surely offside??

Nope, he was onside when the header came in.

Miles offside from the freekick, but onside in the second phase. The rule is wrong imo, but, as it stands, it's a legal goal.

In our defence this is easily the worst we've played for a couple weeks

Hasn't been like this week in week out

thornburyiron

Well our half time team talk worked well. We are total rubbish.

EXETERHAMMER

I repeat Slav, Noble and Feghouli off, Byram and Snodgrass on.

MIAHammer

Bilic to blame for not making any changes at half time.

claretandbluesky

Time for a change Slav. Fergouli for Snodgrass to begin with.

OldCastleSwift

Can't help but agree, MIA. We were second best in the first half, could have been three or four behind, and yet nothing changes

MIAHammer

Ayew and Snodgrass coming on.

FlorinRaduclious

Other than set pieces have we put in any crosses for Carroll to attack?

buffybegood

3-5-2?

Noble and Feghouli off, Ayew and Snodgrass on.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Snodgrass right, antonio left, Lanzini CM

Ayew up top with Carroll

Here's hoping for an improvement

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Snodgrass injured.......

buffybegood

Snodgrass done an ankle already.

442 I think

EXETERHAMMER

Snodgrass injured after 20 seconds - doesn't look good - ankle

claretandbluesky

Is it the sea air?

Fergouli, pemalty, Nobles usual and now Snodgrass going all out for a nothing situation. where are our brains today?

Yeoldhammer

Game looks like it's gone from us out of ideas and being controlled masterfully

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

We've looked better since the changes

Ayew in some nice areas

buffybegood

Antonio down now, slipped and fell awkwardly.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Antonio down clutching his shoulder now.....

What is happening

Hope he stays on we've looked bight the last 5 minutes

EXETERHAMMER

;scarf I believe we can score at least one more ;scarf

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

None of our defenders have covered themselves in glory today.....but imo Cresswell has been the poorest

Been anonymous both offensively and defensively

buffybegood

Should have been another for Bournemouth.

baracks_a_hammer

Leicester are gonna cut us to shreds

buffybegood

Dreadful to say, but if Reid hadn't laid the ball off to Lanzini that had to be a penalty; he was going down already.

Byram on for Kouyate, strange imo.

thornburyiron

Not to mention most of the other sides we still have to play.
