    Whatever the reasons may be for our performance today, it hasn't done much for my optimism-o-meter!

    I actually disagree. If we can have 4 points playing like that in two games then imagine when we play well?

    Yes, I almost agree. I certainly felt like that after we scrapped for the win against Southampton.
    Today, though felt different somehow. We were so flat for periods of the game.
    I hope you're spot on, and that we'll get our act together quickly. But something just felt a bit off today for me.......

    haha I have my moments.

    Was looking forward to this match all week. The week has been a stinker at work so wanted to see a decent performance. First 10-15 mins I was thinking ok, so far so good. Need a goal now.

    By half time I didn't think the team could buy a goal.

    Anyway a points a point. Get up the road and prepare for the Cup against Forest.

    I thought we were even ‘flatter’ v Ston. Anyway two unacceptable performances in my book. We will get better but it needs to be soon - the rust of the close season should be away by now.

    The fact that almost 3 years after the takeover, we're starting with Murphy and Krafth (I know some would add Burn and Longstaff, too) means our squad is still lacking massively.

    When our better players don't perform, our back-ups aren't good enough.

    Yes, it's a home win and an away draw but that masks deeper problems.

    At least it hopefully highlights we need reinforcements.

    Poor game today and I'd be very pissed off if I was a cherries fan.

    We were really bad today. We took a point.

    Last season we lost 2-0 away to Bournemouth.

    Glass half full we have a win and a draw. Still undefeated. We all agreed that we need to turn those loses into draws to get back to European contention / top 4. This is a point won over 2 points lost.

    So who knows this draw might be the point we need to finish 4th.

    Also we're a team that is much much stronger in the 2nd half of the season. So the better we do before Christmas the better.

    Clocks ticking on the transfer front, the club need to get business done.
