Wrong starting line-up yet again, too late with our subs, the honeymoon is well and truly over! 😡

Cheers,

Bournemouth managed that game well keep compact. Poor from Walton as we know and some sloppy passing never really got into a rhythm.

Disagree with subs didnt he make changes on the 50/55th minute?

Here we go. Christ.. playing a top end side, who are in Europe, and the knives are out for certain players and the manager. Totally unrealistic expectations.

The manager picks the team so he should take responsibility.

Quite. It’s now when we need to keep our nerve and keep supporting. I don’t think it was our best starting line up (so agree with the OP to an extent) but we need to use the whole squad, so they’re all going to be involved at some point. Their players were generally a bit sharper and smarter. That’s what having established PL players and playing at European level gets you.

Where was Lukic? "No reason he can't play".

Where was Matusiwa? Four starts with Florentino, relegation form. Guy loves to give the ball away and gift chances.

I don't think there's much between Walton and Scherpen. With our GK recruitment, we've made our bed and have to lie in it. No excuse for GON in defensive midfield.

Wrong that defeat is on two poor mistakes again!!! Walton must be dropped. Poor passing out for the second as well. You can’t gift teams goals like that. That’s not on the manager. Walton piss poor again, No focal point up top all game, they pressed really well and when we went long nothing stuck. Time for Emersonn to take a break I think.

It certainly didn't look like the wrong line up. I'm not sure how on earth Walton's brain fart is on O'Neil.

If anything I thought the subs were a mistake. Philogene had been one of our best players first half and Flemming can't press like Emersonn can. Having said that I can understand him wanting to be pro-active.

Credit Clarke for putting the pen away but I would have preferred him fresh on 70.

Reality is Bournemouth are quality. 8 wins in a row for them with 2 conceded. A goal defeat is very credible but just doesn't help us much.

It’s really not, you can’t give good teams a head start. The keeper is a disaster the last two weeks and O’Shea hasn’t been far behind at times. We need to be ruthless in January.

Pound for pound and statically losing by a single goal is above par really. The fact that it doesn't help us doesn't mean we have to desperately find blame. I'm fuming at the way we conceded goals. Felt we matched them for the most part but the mistakes cost us.

Isn’t picking a “piss-poor” Walton on the manager though?

The manager picked Walton, so that’s on GON.

I don’t think you can legislate for that kind of error from a premier league footballer. I’d expect to see a new number 1 next time out.

27 seconds into the second half? Not for me... mind you when the 2nd goal went in GON probably thought right I need to do something. Few mins getting subs warmed up making decisions on who and what position then brief them on what he wants then changes.

Then Clarke and Flemming on in the 53rd minute. Thats 8mins into the second half, that wouldn't have happened under MCK.

It was broadly right. I think it was Glasser’s pre-match team thread where I gave my thoughts on us so far. I wouldn’t set us up much differently; only Scherpen in goals and Flemming are the two definite changes I’d make.

I’d just about prefer Maeda on the left and Fatawu on the right, but I’m torn on both of those winger positions. Maeda acting as a narrow winger/second 10 lets Leif do what he does best. But Jack is good as a sub though and probably deserves a start. It’s not happening for Philogene, but I understand why GON is trying to play him into form/fitness.

The defence is the best we have.
The holding 2 are the best considering Lukic is returning from injury (although Matusiwa has looked surprisingly good in his cameos).
Enciso starts for all his faults.
I’d like Flemming to get a run though - we know he’s a goal scorer and Emersonn’s numbers are starting to look crap despite the shift he puts in.

I agree about the starting line up as I think there was a degree of arrogance playing with a back four, but he couldn't have made the subs any sooner. Indeed, I think Emmerson coming off weakened us. Flemming has done very little outside of the Palace game.

Only if you base your entire opinion of a keeper on that one mistake or you are chief admiral hindsight. Walton was solid for the rest of the game and that mistake is on Walton and Walton alone. Crucifying Walton is not going to help anyone either now.

Gary O'Neil does have a big decision to make for the next game.

You OP is the reactionary equivalent of Walton's howler to be honest. You are upset at the result and digging O'Neil out. Bournemouth are a top side.

Forest beat Manchester City yesterday. Sunderland beat Chelsea today. Top sides lose and the reason Bournemouth didn't today ais more on us than them.
