To all the 'write it off, can't be arsed with the FACup, waste of time, distraction, throw it, forfeit it' brigade.....this is a decent game and we're right in it.

I've been pleasantly surprised!..

Plenty of fight in that starting 11.

Can we lend them Praet for the second half?

Took me 40 minutes to realise he was playing 

[EastAnglianFox]

How long is Doyle allowed to look rusty for?

 

I’m a fan of his but since coming back he’s looked all over the shop

Imagine we played Jakub all last season? We’d still be a premier league club 

A traffic cone would have been better than Ward was!

[cruzFOX]

Sadly no way to watch the game today so I’m relying on FT chatter to stay in the loop. This is great we have kept Bournemouth at bay for 45 min. Have we had any chances in their goal yet? Will Enzo change anything subs wise?

[Ian Nacho]

I've never known a more nondescript player than Praet.

GET PRAET OUT OF THIS CLUB 

Why?

[Simonb]

Bit sloppy passing about but we've competed.

 

I'd have Raiky off for Riccy. Put Hamza in the Winks role and Riccy back in the inverted.

 

If we're still in it with 20 left.. wanya and cannon off for iheanacho and fatawu

[J.Lisemore]

Played well there. Praet is so half hearted though, could have been through on goal with a bit more desire 

[RonnieTodger]

Fair play, I thought we’d thrown in the towel with that line up. Bournemouth look a level above but we’re well in it.

 

Would like to see Fatawu and Iheanacho at some point. 

[phoneticerror]

Ricardo, Justin and Fatawu on and we’ve got this.

Praet off at HT for Pereira? 

 

I expect Doyle will come off too at some point. Looks quite rusty. 

Can't leave Raikhy on when he's on a yellow though. 

[Chelmofox]

They are all doing ok. How slow are Doyle and Preat though.

 

Would like to see Fatawu come on. Could we not swap Preat for Nacho?

SO SH!T

[FrankieADZ]

decent performance that first half, 

would like to see Briggs and Thomas given a go during some part of the second half

[Philkeavo]

Decent show that. Open game.

Albrighton hit the post and we've looked dangerous on 3 or 4 occasions. We are well in this.

A few. Sharkey hit the post.

We have had our fair share of chances, also hitting the post 

[Ecdysiast]

Why the hate for Dennis? he's class

Sharky too

Couple of chances each, pretty even all round. Their set pieces have been decent but we've defended them well.

Doyle off at half time

Waste of a substitution for now.

 

Think he’d look better with a more competent midfield. 
 

We’ll struggle to get that, but I’d move Hamza to the base of our midfield and either go with Pereira / Justin at right inverted wingback - taking Raikhy off.

[blaaklint]

Choudhury just isn't good enough on the ball to play inverted. Raikhy has been pretty poor as well. Without those two positions playing well, it becomes so hard for us to move the ball forward.

Raikhy needs to come off, as he looks like a kid in a sweet shop, crazy and excited but he’s on a yellow.

Looks out of his depth. Slow and ponderous and every pass is backwards.
