Best of the rest.

First half unplayable, second half went to sleep. Again, if you are happy with that fair enough. I am not.
Agree Nick.
On balance an excellent away win against a good team.
I am pleased with the win for sure, but that second half was shocking. Perhaps my intense hatred of the Cheats had some bearing. I really feel ****ed at how nonchalant we seemed to play.Happy with the 3 points
A good day all in all, no?
Planning another visit to the Golden Palace anytime soon?
5th !
With our schedule is amazing.
Moaners will moan regardless.
Will do.I would really love to Nick.
Please when you see Edgie next give him my very best wishes.

In the bag lads, these lot am ****e
But they were magnificent first half! You did see our second?100% agree. Thought Neves and Mountinho were poor second half.
Absolutely filthy. I was ****ing myself laughing it was so good and said as much on the thread. But I felt they shut down second-half and let them back into the game.But they were magnificent first half! You did see our second?
Their execution against ten men has been pathetic. Stopped pressing, stopped winning second balls, basically we stopped playing. VAR decision is masking a really poor effort. My opinion of course.Absolutely filthy. I was ****ing myself laughing it was so good and said as much on the thread. But I felt they shut down second-half and let them back into the game.
Imagine posting this when we are 5th. Certain posters on here don't deserve this team.
Bloody right. I've been away for a few weeks so I'm a bit behind, but as I see it Nuno hasn't got a clue, the recruitment was terrible, we're going to be in a relegation struggle this season.
Well this is what Nuno said after the game:
"What happened in the second half must serve as a warning to us. It was very difficult."
He said it himself, that second half is a warning. At least he doesn't have his head in the sand about it like some of you lot.

So which is it, Nuno needs a rethink, or Nuno knows exactly what the problem is?
Well he's obviously thinking about it isn't he? So maybe it turns out he agrees, he needs to think about it...
Indeed, fair enough, he's always thinking, always improving, that;'s why we love him.
They put so much in first half it's not surprising they dropped off a bit but maybe he said something to make that happen more than it would have anyway, take your foot off the gas and have to do more work by the end is probably the lesson. If he'd e.g. taken off Raul for Cutrone that would probably have looked like complacency too though.
Your username strikes me that you hail from The Poorthorns?Strange, needing to defend a lead for so long. I couldn’t see anyone one the bench who could come in and help to kill things either, Nuno.
Well that's a fair point but they looked knackered. We had an extra man and you wouldn't have known it at all. If we aren't careful some of these guys will get exhausted misjudge a ball, or a tackle or get get caught on a heavy or hard winter pitch and be out for several months. Why push them this hard when we are ahead against ten men? Cutrone has done nothing wrong really, his goal to minutes ratio must be far better than Jota's this season and he works for the team. If we were playing well and in control fair enough but we weren't.
Moutinho has to cover a huge amount of ground in this system, he is 33 and still regularly playing internationals travelling all over the shop. I think we are asking for trouble like this but at least I can see we have very limited choices in his position.

First mistake posting sense, second attacking those who love to hate.Some posters on here will never be happy, they don't seem to understand, it's really difficult to get any result in the premier league, never mind against one, who's got one of the best home records in the league. to go there and win
Jack Russell get's the Astral seal of approval for starting the Comms thread.
A definite star - well done sir!!!
Many thanks Terry. if I may call you that. I was on a knife-edge about going ahead, but since I was convinced we were going to win, I thought it wouldn't do any harm. For the prediction league I participate in, my forecast was Bournemouth 1 Wolves 2. Says it all really!
Terry or Astral is fine with me, Jack!
Anyone is welcome to start the comms thread, it is only down to the lads efforts that my last 6 starts has resulted in not being defeated.
I can't claim any credit unless superstition comes in to it!!!
