Thank fuck! Wissa actually did good. 😅

We honestly haven’t looked this bad since the dark days of just before the takeover. Even the rough start EH had there were glimpses of something and you could actually see what we were trying to do. We’re actually criminally bad on the ball and keep giving it away. I know we’re low on confidence but this is truly shit whichever way you want to spin it. Hopefully we can hold on and the 3 pts can help us get our shit together for the last few games.

We’ve been shit. Again. And put ourselves in the position to even have a pathetic call against us. Wank.

Ooooh, there’ll be excuses, no worries.

Cracking finish! 😂

Needs time on the training ground. One game a week and we’ll be fine. Always finished the seasons strong. This is cack.

Burn it down. Fucking hell this is embarrassing....

We've been terrible. Again.

He's a magnificient human being. A superb ambassador for the club. And a hell of a football manager. He's given me some of the happiest times since starting supporting the club back in '92. Is he faultless? No. Has this season in particular been a joy? Fuck no. Do we look terrible at the moment? Yes. Given time, will he get us going again, a version 2.0 of an Eddie Howe team? Most likely yes, especially if we can get the recruitment team functioning again. This season is a write off so far (except for the CL). But hopefully that will help focus and align ideas and minds at boardroom level. God knows we need it.

Nick Pope (amongst others). Fucking hell.

This far he’s as a good a striker for us as Rivière was. Embarrassing.

Wissa still looks like a seriously old man trying to cosplay as a footballer. Maybe it’s Ali Dia who’s made a comeback?

The thing is…this isn’t good enough. We have some serious issues. We’re giving away goals against top teams. We’re letting people run straight through and past us. We can’t pass for shit. There’s no cohesiveness to us at all. We’re one paced, one dimensional and so, so easy to play against. At least we can say ”We’re still in all four competitions FFS!” for 60 mins more. But at what cost if these go for the jugular for real? Eddie’s got some work on his hands to fix this mess, especially with this run. Hopefully he’ll fix it. The alternative is just to sad. 😞

I do like what I hear from Hopkinson tbh. He's a positive guy, ambitious and well-regarded. We do have some proper good ones at the right positions now. It's just going to take a bit longer, and with a few more bumps in the road than we maybe believed when the takeover happened. I'm as frustrated as anyone about this season, it's all been a bit shit really. But patience and proper, honest work will get us where we all want. Sprinkle that with a bit of luck in the transfer market (and on the pitch) and a couple of nice revenue boosters from sponsorships, training ground and stadium (I know, I know) and we'll be flying.

I fucking love Big Dan Burn. Warrior.

Add to that that the ball seems to bounce off him an awful lot.

Wissa will come good (as in 10-15 goals over a season) but he’s got a bit of the old geriatric movement and mobility about him from what we’ve seen so far.

When you’ve just spunked 90 odd million on Ramsey and Elanga a few months ago it’s a hell of a lot of money for a player without any special traits or talents.

Would love a CB, an RB and a new GK please. Preferably yesterday. Oh, and make that a midfielder as well.

Botman, Thiaw and Ramsdale. WTF are you playing at? Horrible.

Oh my. 😫

Fucking hell. What a chaotic game. And what an ending to it! Well fought lads!

Put Pope on who saves all these decent finishes!

Unlucky but still a clear pen for me unfortunately.

I know we’re in the race for CL play-off and in the semis for the LC. But it’s bordering on bizarre how flat we’ve looked for much of the league games so far. We’re almost in to a new year and we’re on one (1 FFS!) away win so far.
