V Bournemouth

[Swissclaret]

Well we didn?t lose and Anthony was unlucky, hitting the bar.

Hannibal and Anthony ran their socks off, closing down, trying to create. Ward - Prowse delivered some good corners but he does not command the midfield.

Parker self- destructs every match. I have always tried to be positive about Foster but seriously he was useless today. He finally got him off and brought on Edwards. Meanwhile Est?ve asked to be subbed so it took nearly 10 minutes to get Worral on. At one point we were down to ten men!

What is the point of bringing anyone on with two minutes to play? Broja tried but he can?t jump. Obichewbacca is slow and offers nothing. Walker was talking a throw in and obichewbacca made no effort to receive the ball, just strolling around.

One point but not enough. At least we have made it to 20 points and no doubt Parker will be proud of them etc., etc., but it is impossible to work out Parker?s thinking. Worral has played well but he is dropped to play Laurent in defence. He drops Pires who is attack minded and plays Hartman who was anonymous today.

I hit the bar just before half time and saw Anthony hit the bar, from then on we created little with Bournemouth looking the likely winners. A point is better than nowt it gives us a 4pts gap on Wolverhampton

I?ve yet to go to a game this season where we actually set up to win , some of today was ok but I?m that used to not getting of my seat now with excitement that games just pass me by.

Laurent started ( imo opinion not up to it at this level ) however he tried and applied himself - Hartman is a much more accomplished full back than Pires ( he can?t tackle head and constantly triys poor flicks ).

Hartman I feel is another who?s been dealt a crap hand from the manager - left out for letting a Fulham player go when I watch all the others constantly let players run off them every week.

I said first game onwards about us playing all our football in front of opposing teams and we?re still at it when now we?ve absolutely nothing to lose ( we?re down anyway so let?s have a go at teams ).

Foster. Was dire today didn?t look interested and should have scored instead of trying to switch feet and go around a man.

The nice bloke that is Parker still says we are a young team - work in progress ( god only know where that leaves us ).

Needless to say I?m absolutely sick to the high teeth of hearing drivel like that on . I?m convinced we?re not a young team as he says and I haven?t seen much progress ( I live in hope ).

Foster? WTF?

[army88]

Foster? WTF?

I don?t lie BT - I stick
Up for players when it?s warranted - today it wasn?t

Tbf Parker the enigma played him right wing and a centre mid ant centre half - when we have a proper one on the bench

As toyah would say - it?s a mystery and that?s exactly what it is 1 win in 20 games - 13 games at home without a win - rubbish football ( no denying that is there ) and the only time I?ve been of my seat with excitement this season the officials robbed us with Var a flappy shirt sleeve and a guess at a handball

And the biggest mystery of all Parker keeps his job.

Parker's logic is about the same as the Evil Orange Emperor of the New World Order to me army88, no game plan, no consistency and both seem totally disinterested in the outcomes of their idiocy. I was watching the game in a bar in El Cotillo with half a dozen young male Clarets fans yesterday. The more they supped the angrier they got, suffice to say Foster and Parker are not their current flavour of the month.

[Vintage Claret]

We got a 0-0 draw, which in Parker's thinking was a win for how he sets his teams up.

Most Claret's realize we will be relegated this season, even if the manager does not see it that way. So why not go out and attack and at least put up a fight to try and survive.

The incident where Esteve signelled to the bench that he was not able to continue, yet not of our managerial clowns thought to get a replacement ready. This delay may have aggrivated any injury that Esteve had suffered. It is not only Parker that needs to be replaced but the entire management team as they are completely clueless.

I read a comment from Parker which was the some people may call this season a failure, I would ask how pending relegation does not constitute a failure as it certainly does for me.

I agree, Vintage. Clueless is a polite word for it.

The other point I don’t understand with Parker is his use of the bench and the timing. What is the point in bringing on Broja with two minutes plus added time to go? By that stage both Anthony and Hannibal had run themselves into the ground and Edward’s was hardly seeing the ball, so hardly anyone to feed Broja, assuming he got into their box. Walker hardly ever puts in a cross now and Ward - Prowse had disappeared out of the match.

We could have played until next Saturday and we still would not have scored.I was surprised the Cherries did not put away one of their chances at the end.If you were a neutral you would have thought it was Bournemouth who were fighting to stay in the division in the last 20 minutes.
Why put Broja on with two minutes to go.Ugochukwu looked as though he ws upset to be brought on.Some of them are already on their holidays.

I?m not sure we?d have got one with the extra week CIB.

Tbh all that practice shooting before we start is a comp waste of time - don?t know if you see all that on tv but in front of me we lay balls off and shoot from 10-18 yards out - the game starts and we don?t offer to do that at all.
