If Bournemouth are not good 3nough to be in the play off positions at the moment how the hell have we been there for most of the season. Cooper will use the tiredness and three long away games as an excuse not his poor game management...
Gonna be lucky to even make the play offs - this is about the fifth on the trot where we didn't deserve or earn a win
Bournemouth thoroughly deserved this. What’s most worrying is that we changed the formation, many personnel, but still no discernible improvement in our pattern of play. We look like we’ve all just been thrown together, absolutely pathetic!! Couldn’t see where anyone was meant to be playing in midfield, shambolic. Only positive has been Whittaker. Actually deserved a goal.. Cooper & your coaching team. What the fvck are we doing. This is not a blip in performances. This has been a gradual slide over about the best part of 10 games. I can’t see any chance of auto now. It’s the play-offs, but I’m not confident. We are not Fulham of last season..
A team needs to enter the play-offs as the form team ..... we are currently the out-of-form team ....
I agree, that’s what I’m saying. Maybe didn’t write it well. We’ll be in the playoffs, I just don’t see us getting automatic from here on. We’re not a good side at the moment & on a downward trajectory, I struggle to see that changing. I wouldn’t be confident that we’ll come through the playoffs & get promoted that way either. There’s no energy or inventiveness in this side of late. We’re ponderous & predictable. We can’t even rely on the steeliness anymore, that’s disintegrated to..
SC post match stated that the players made mistakes and didn’t do enough up front.....he loves blaming the players for losing and takes the plaudits for our wins however lucky they are...
For me, Cooper should have brought Fulton on to replace the CB taken off - having reduced the back 5 to 4, you need to (initially) augment the midfield. At the same time, take off the ineffective Lowe
