A Question to those that believe we are rebuilding for next season

[BuffooneRy]

Is yesterday's result really that disappointing? I'd say it only seems that way because we were winning for long stretch of it. 4 points from 6 against Wolves is something I'd take at the start of the season.

Not sure about others but for me it's the absolute tripe we are being served up on a weekly basis and almost complete lack of creativity and even attempts on goal.. Wolves could've played with a rush goalie yesterday... That game was crying out for a bloke like Washington to come on with half an hour left to be let off the lease but oh no, he leaves it until it's virtually too late to do anything... Boring and uninspired football and our lamentable home record is rapidly making me lose interest in this awful season and want to see how things go from August onwards... I won't be wasting any more time or effort watching this dross this season that's for sure...

I really do feel for JFH because its only a couple of starters letting him down in each game. You can see the style of play is slowly developing but is let down by key elements not performing how they should at times.

What, lumping it up to the BFG?

I did say that I was disappointed by the manner in which the points were lost in that post, on the first line. I even agree in part with everything you say in general here, but I think we are closer than you may think. One or two bits of tinkering - Henry out of the 11 and either Fer out or Fer with more energy in - and we'd be doing a lot better. We're dropping points by such small margins (we haven't lost by more than a goal under JFH and we've scored at least one goal in all but one league game) that I feel we just need to tinker with the balance and we'll be fine.

I give up ! There can be no way one player can be responsible for yesterdays 2nd half near collapse .

one game it's this player that fkucs up next game it's another

From this line up We have to shift Fer, Konchesky, Phillips, Henry, Hoilett(?) and Phillips. My opinion only.

Really hope this week that another offer comes in for Phillips.
Don't think he would have joined Middsboro anyway, but if offer comes in from any Prem team around £5mill I hope we take it.
Could get 2 players with that money that improve our starting eleven straight away.

I agree. He wants a move away from the club also.

When Warnock was first appointed as our manager there was an immediate change in our play in the sense of rebuilding for our promotion season all them years ago.

um... no there wasn't.

when warnock was first appointed, there was a change, but it was largely that the players (who up until that point had believed that they were bigger than any manager the club had... magilton, sousa, hart etc) understood that they couldn't take the p1$$ any longer. it wasn't about promotion... all that only kicked in the following summer when colin brought in kenny, derry, hill and mackie, reinstated helguson and somehow managed to convince them to put up with fatso's constant tantrums.

[Alanwycombe]

are bournemouth really a premier league club?

Yes, they played in a competition where the prize was at least one season in the top flight.

[Alanwycombe]

Is the premier league really the be all and end all of football as we know it ?
Is playing in any other division pointless ?

Yes, it's the ultimate prize in our domestic game. If you go out to win matches - as any team should - and you are successful then your reward is a place in the top tier. All these rebuilding/consolidation posts......what are you saying, teams shouldn't try to win every game so that they can stay where they are and avoid promotions? I wouldn't pay to watch that. There has to be aspiration for clubs and fans or the game is dead.

[Alanwycombe]

What is our club a 2nd tier champ club really?

At the moment, yes. Better than league 1 and in a competition to win promotion as soon as we win enough Championship games to earn it. No different to any other team at the start of the season.

It was disappointing because we didn't carry forward any momentum from the second half performance at Rotherham. We want to watch decent performances. You can't win every match but not wrong to expect a good showing.

I like Warnock but he came in to gee things up for a few games. Entirely different to someone taking the job full time and trying to implement real change. All I took from those games is that we were still not very good but ground out some points. Not sure if he had stayed we would be better off than we are now. No reflection on him as great character and respected manager but no point trying to compare him with JFH.

As others have said we are a mess. We have tried to rebuild several times in recent years but always overreached as opposed to thinking longer term. We are a Championship club who would like to progress to Premiership. In my view we need to build for the Championship with players who want to be here and want to improve and progress themselves. We have cleared out the majority of our 'mistakes' but do still have some who think they should be in the Premiership now due to nobody buying them in the summer.

I'd rather give JFH time and try and do it properly this time. The club are investing in youth in a way they haven't in the past. Whilst this will take time before we see the benefit if we show a bit of patience the club might this time be heading in the right direction.

[jmelanie]

Yes, massively disappointing.

Considering:

a) We were at home; the opposition; and their injury list.
b) The woeful 2nd half performance.
c) The chances we had to kill the game off, and
d) Our appalling record at being incapable of holding on to winning positions. I've lost count of the amount of times we go 1-0 up only to then sit back until the inevitable happens.

And the disappointment never gets any easier to bear either.

I trust that answers your question adequately.

It was disappointing because I said we would win this won. Still I got 2 out of 3 right.

Getting tired of people moaning for the sake of moaning on here to be honest.

Bore off about Warnock...way past that now
