Bizarre also, as if we do get relegated (as is looking likely), we're not going to be able to sign any players due to impending transfer embargo from EFL. All very strange.

Makes it more attractive to potential buyers...

Tom Cannon has never been, and never will be as good as Andrej Kramaric.

For a club or Bournemouth's size (small stadium etc) they've bought incredibly well. They have so many assets that they can sell at enormous profits. Huijsen, Zabarnyi and Kerkez in particular could all end up playing for any team in the world in the next couple of seasons. Then they've got the likes of Cook, Semenyo, Adams who all cost very little comparatively who are all excellent players

This has been such an embarrassing match thread again btw. The whinging when winning 1-0 at half time was absolutely pathetic. So clinical second half

I'm not really sure what people expected? We have a pretty poor team that's been coached by an absolute team of twats since the summer and they're bereft of any confidence. We've got a new manager in who they clearly all massively respect and they're all running harder and further than before. He's had 2 coaching sessions with them and we've scored a lovely goal. Yes, we're fortunate that West Ham haven't been even vaguely clinical, but we're winning at half time against a decent team full of players that would walk into our team. Let's all relax a little and hope that we can bring in some improvements in January

We're playing like a team lacking confidence but one that's at least had clear instructions and is motivated to get a good result. We've had neither of the last 2 for a while now, so it's a positive start. Fortunate to still be ahead though for sure.

It'll be something like Hermansen Justin Vestergaard Okoli Kristiansen Winks Ndidi Buonanotte El Khannouss Mavididi Vardy We'll defend with a 3 of Justin, Vestergaard and Okoli when we've got the ball and Kristiansen will push on. Not a dissimilar shape to Enzo on the ball is what I'd expect, just a little more direct into the striker/more attacking midfielders feet. At least that's what he'll try to encourage/build towards. I feel like we'll attempt to bring in a more athletic left back and a mobile target man type striker in January too

Hermansen Faes Vestergaard Okoli Ricardo Winks Fatawu Buonanotte El Khannouss Mavididi Vardy

Just because he's slightly tall, does not make him a target man. He's awful in the air and much better with the ball to his feet. He's not especially strong either, but sharp technically

It's pretty odd that when you have a few creative, exciting players on the pitch that you create chances and score. Please don't ever start with 3 holding midfielders again and please start Mavididi and Buonanotte

We're getting relegated. How we've spent over £30 million combined on Skipp and Okoli is baffling
