Think we'll improve second half. Good signs but its not linking together well enough in these conditions. Bournemouth's high press is causing us problems, but they'll tire and we'll bring on the likes of O'Riley and Enciso to run at them.

We're very lucky they've been so poor at finishing.

Probably fortunate to go in ahead, Bournemouth fast and direct on the break. Need some tweaks for the second half, and stop giving them the ball. Great start but second best for much of the half, and just a couple of chances other than the goal.

Thank goodness the disallowed goal didn't stand. A perfect illustration of why the law is a joke these days. Evanilson, right next to Van Hecke, is a good couple of yards offside but that's deemed to be of no consequence and they're only looking at the winger. Evanilson then has a free run on goal from a sizeable head start to tap the ball in. It's a ridiculous loophole. Whatever happened to interfering with play? If putting the ball in the bloody net a few seconds after being miles offside is not affecting the match, what the hell is?

Tough place to play. Tough conditions. Distracting twat on drum in the background.

Think we're doing fine under the circumstances. Was bound to be a bit scrappy. We had numerous spells of nice touches and all-round play. We deserve to be winning.

Hopefully we can keep this up and score a 2nd to finish them off... but Bournemouth have a very good record here, against us and under these circumstances.... will probably be a very tough 2nd half and we'd do very well to take 3 points here.
