Anyone know if the match day Saffron Lane car park will be open for this one?

Fair play to Jermaine Jenas’ agent - he’s got him paid for offering absolutely eff all. Again.

It’s like debating the economy without mentioning Brexit:)

Jeez - sad loss.

I agree - the dip was an awful period but we were a consistent goal scorer and consistent winger away from flipping most of those games into draws or wins.

That’d be a kick in the nuts for Arsenal but yes I see what you mean.

With Pep’s next season likely to be his last surely Enzo has eyes on that?

Or even Robin van Persie.

My son’s at Uni in Southampton - up the Saints despite Sunak!

Always liked him - what a goal. Brought a huge smile 😊

Ok - I can properly relax now.

Jeez - QPR, thank you 🙏🏼

It’s in the nature of our season that this happens - I’m just waiting for the first Leeds goal …

We’ve got to actually want to score rather than Enzo thinking goals are a natural consequence of his style of play.

And no one’s surprised

Impressive game management 👊🏼

I think we can bang on about the style of play but it’s not going to change and if it did adapting to a new style with our centre half’s will be more dangerous at this stage. Vesty has been a huge player for us this season and with Winks our best passer and it’s directly down to the style (definitely not his ability to defend). If we are going to play like this in the run in we need Madividi (dear god he’s been awful) and Fatawu to actually stretch defences not constrict midfield by constantly coming inside (especially as Justin can’t overlap to save his life) and the midfielders to speed it up from the half way line. Ricky and Ndidi are much needed as our late presence in the opposition box is non-existent and they can make those runs. As much maligned as he was Casedei would have been invaluable to us of late. I’m not sure if we will go up (because of the better form of teams around us) but either way our squad is not fit for this style so in the Championship or EPL we need major work if Enzo stays.

We missed Vestie and Ricardo today - Madividi and Justin combo was shocking (again). Thought KDH played too far forward first half and was able to create a little more second half. Madividi is showing why he’s failed at so many clubs; flashes in a forest of dross. He’s been completely off it for a while. We still play as if goals are a natural consequence of possession when they need to be wanted and worked for - I’m not sure we display a hunger for goals in and of themselves. Was the case under BR too. No stiker since Vardy in his prime has had a real hunger to score at every opportunity. We’ve deserved the results of late unfortunately. Feeling a bit flat but we can still put together a run of good results but need to refresh something.

Vestie take a bow tonight. Good to see some mature game management too.

Bloody hell Kel, you are an enigma …

Thanks - I’m sorted but he tells me Bournemouth is such a small capacity that even home tickets are virtually impossible to get!

My son and I are season ticket holders and as he’s at Uni in Southampton very keen to get tickets for this - if they don’t make it to STH’s would be very keen to hear about spares. Cheers.

Feel sorry for the player - doesn’t reflect well on us but hopefully Enzo won’t sulk and we get on with the season blooding some of the up and coming midfielders.

If it wasn’t predictable I’d be fuming. Haven’t learned a damn thing about game management and subs.

No great loss long term but we need midfield cover and we shouldn’t underestimate his physical stature. We don’t have that much size and strength and we will miss the muscularity.
