Strange to include games that happened after promotion when discussing us getting promoted.

Bit of a myth that Moyes is a long ball manager. He is more in the Koeman mould, mixing it up with direct passing to someone who can hold it up or getting it down the wings with pace.

Looking at this page I imagine. Available coaches | Transfermarkt

We only got promoted because Stephens was injured for a long period of time and Bazunu got injured for the crucial games at the end. If we had his first choice team all season we'd still be down there, he scraped by achieving the absolute bare minimum and it over inflated his ego.

There is no chance he survives a result like this.

In a formation with a striker and two wingers, not with Fernandes playing as one of two weird false 9 roles alongside Dibling.

Watch him take Dibling off at half time and then bench him for not performing today.

It's how we should have started. Cornet is big and strong and can win headers, he'd make a good focal point up top.

Dibling needs to learn that if he gets kicked in the back of the leg when he's running away from someone, he goes down.

We have a freekick on our own 18 yard line and Bournemouth have a man marking our keeper behind it 😂 Russball is getting a reputation.

ABK and Bednarek should be starting. It's painfully obvious.

Martin logic - "Dibling is looking quality out wide for us. I know...i'll stick him through the middle so he gets crowded out and can't take on defenders one on one!"

Big hoof up field led to that goal. If only we're fannied about with it at the back.

Unless Downes gets an injury, which was my point. Ball was moving when he took that freekick wasn't it?

This is the real issue isn't it. Fair enough football is about taking risks, but we take a huge risk at the back and gain what? A 6 yard pass to another defender or to a midfielder with his back to play.

Ramsdale learnt from Dibling in training this week, great little shimmy past his man. 😳

Bench today really exposes our lack of depth at DM. Who do we have coming through the under 21s?

Ok. The runs, header and the finish were still exceptional though.

Everyone furious about Cornet up front clearly wasn't at St Mary's for this game. https://youtu.be/26vRPk69gNI?si=mf-NsQ73QiKsYZqm

Not sure why you would think that, Cornet is strong and pacy I can see him leading the line well.

Decent team. Wanted to see what Cornet can do through the middle.

Is Dibling fit? If so we have a chance of getting a couple of goals and with Ramsdale at the back a chance of keeping the score down too.

Home to Stoke, as good as we could have hoped for. Redknapp is a cunt.

Different manager completely different style.

My post was sarcastic. Of course I'm not looking forward to being torn apart and having to put up with piss taking from armchair fans who only look up from their phones to watch the replay of their teams goals.
