MATCHWATCH : Bournemouth (a) sponsored by Jimmy Quinn

Not sure. I saw it as just poor individual errors for 3 of the 4. Lack of concentration rather than whole set up being wrong. Certainly don’t think we were lethargic and thought we weee the better side at 2-2

Major issues with these individual lapses though. Way too many and consistently leading to goals

Yes defensively turning off again today, just like the last 3 games, terrible goals we are conceding. what we need is a centre back the played for Man U on the coaching staff...oh wait!!!

[Hound]

Our goals conceded to shots on target in the last 4 must be ridiculous. Guessing between 60 and 75%

13 in 18 on target.

Awful

But thanks. Not difficult to see where the problem is

[Zip]

first 7 games top of the entire league for goals conceded, since then 92nd.

It’s bizarre.

It’s bizarre.

And it’s not like we’ve done anything radically different either

Just shocking defensive errors time and again

while he's started making odd decisions/errors, I'm not sure he could have done too much about most of those goals could he?

Well I meant the making of ridiculous individual errors (of which Rafael has made 3 or 4) rather than specifically blaming it all on the keeper

That rather than a particular fault with the overall system

[St Pauli]

It’s only a game lads.

If we went up, we’d in all likelihood just come down again.

Ride the painted pony. Let the spinning wheel glide.

As disappointed as we all are this is the post of the day

[windermereROYAL]

Only 1 headed goal conceded all season, need to work on keeping shots out now.

Yeah I agree...frustrating as it is that for a period this season we looked serious promotion candidates and the real deal. This is just disappointing.
Let's just get ready to go again.

As much as I want us to do well and win games etc, I have no desire to go up. Premiership is shit. Fake ass divers, and terrible goal line technology. Too much money, and pressure, doesn't make for an enjoyable, exciting experience. Big clubs have too much money and decisions go their way, no real balance. Very little in the way being competitive. The aim of most teams that get promoted is to avoid relegation.

Sucks the joy out it all for me.

Of course I want us to do well, and of course I'd support the team, but oxf*rd the Premiership.

+1.

If you follow football for the live matchday experience, championship football >>>> premier league football.

Every. Time.

[Snowflake Royal]

Hell yes.

[morganb]

I wonder if there is a betting syndicate somewhere becoming very rich off the back of the runaway leaders losing so many recent games by such high margins (including throwing away a 2-0 halftime lead)?

Hell no-for every game like today's at Bournemouth there are many more like last night's dreadful so called match between Coventry and Birmingham that never looked like being anything but a 0-0.

Have you already forgotten what our home games have been like for the previous 2 seasons?

The home results of the last two years are what we’ll in all likelihood get if we go up.

But we will be seeing top class players most weeks which is good enough for me.
I think the Championship is the worst of the worst.

There are players who think they are good enough to be performing in the Premier League and being paid wages far in excess of what their abilities warrant.

At least in Divs 1 and 2 the skill factor may be lower but effort, dedication, commitment etc are all there.
In The Championship you have millionaire footballers often not portraying those facets, e.g. the Alukos of this world.

Still, your wish is likely to come true for the foreseeable future but I yearn for seasons like that first one in the Premier League even if subsequent ones were just a long struggle.

Each to their own.
