Totally agree. Main fear was Howe's Bournemouth teams were bad defensively and at the time the Mags were shipping in goals like they were Leeds. Eddie has the team locking down almost everyone so getting in some creative players can push us forward to unlock some of these low block tactics. Great opportunity here and I trust the business side has been working their tails off to get revenue up to facilitate this.

I'd kind of like to see Maxi starting and Isak playing a sort of number 10 along with Wilson. Defensively we've been great, have to snatch a goal here and there though.

OK, well a point on the road but the Mags were clearly the better team although Palace had the best chance of the day. Give Pope some credit there.

My money is on Big Joe.

Lads look winded.

I propose a cease fire on bashing Murphy. That was inspired play.

Brilliant by Murphy.

Maxi runs it out as he does.

I can't week for Isak to hit his stride. Could be quite a player.

No Miggy magic.

Bruno bad pass.

Man, Isak almost. Not a great header.

Wow, Pope does it again.

tbf he's right.

Some of the luster is lost when he's not banging in worldies.

Commentator "Longstaff was ready to shoot" I would imagine the supporters behind the net all ducked.

ASM and Isak coming on it looks like.

Enough of this, get that ball into the onion bag lads.

Done his hammy for sure.

Zaha not happy.

or Burn.

Nothing on that header.

Goals haven't been coming for a while now.

Time to crack open a pint of Extra Pale Ale to get this second half party started.
