Bournemouth were more agressive in the first half and took their chances well, they had
6 shots in the whole game and scored 3 .....against our 25 (!). Poor finishing from our side but they put bodies on the line and blocked half a dozen v.g chances in second half.

Having bought the players, Ralph must use them, but Danso (like Djenepo) needs more time to adapt to this level and be able to last 95 minutes every game. He looked like the rabbit in the headlights several times, and the change to Bertrand was predictable even after 30 minutes. Credit to Cedric that he can play in both FB positions.

We shouldn't be too hard on Che Adams as all strikers go through "dry periods" and despite his good performances in the Championship -the Prem.is quite another level.
Perhaps his first goal (whenever it comes) will open the flood gates, but it's harder on
a striker who is expected to put the ball in the net every game.

Despit second half surge let's hope they can learn from thisd game and move on.

A good win on Tuesday will help heal the wound somewhat, but that game maybe decided by the number of red/yellow cards and not the standard of football.(!).
