We've not even reacted to the goal, this is shameful really.

They'll be patting themselves on the back at the end of the game due to some nonsense statistics.

Fully deserved that, fair play to Bournemouth - they've gone for it. We are nowhere near and haven't been all season.

That would require the players taking some form of responsibility, so that won't happen.

A standard Adam Armstrong hit and hope, to go along with his run and hope. Your typical kick and rush player, but with less refinement than that of Shane Long. Bloke doesn't deserve to play in the top 2 tiers. I'd offer to pay up his contract.

I'd understand, to a point, the keep it tight calls if we're like in November or December. But this is different, we can't keep playing the same ponderous approach waiting for an opening, we have to force it, we have to take responsibility, but my feeling is that these players are cowards and none of them want to take responsibility so they pass it to the next person. Selles line ups are weird, but I'd argue that you can only do so much with this bunch to be honest. They really are terrible wimps.

He's been pretty shit tbf, but I'd keep him on but surround him with better. Adams, Sulemana - will probably see a different Alcaraz. There's only so much a player can do when you're surrounded by the frauds we have masquerading as premier league attackers.

Because they're still paid a hefty sum to work for my club. They've jacked it in for years though, it's not like it's just this game.

So, so, so, so bad. When are these bunch of morons going to take responsibility? They just pass it around as if there is no rush, no care, no urgency. That attack is the worst attack we've ever fielded at this level, I'm embarrassed by us. Bournemouth's attack is on a different universe than what we can muster. I don't know what else to say really, I just want us to be put of our misery and scrap the bunch of them. I dislike this team more than any other. Bunch of losers.

Seems like the ''Who do we have to endure in attack this week?" tombola has landed on Armstrong and Elyonoussi. Should be a laugh. Work commitments mean I'm not there, but it's possible that work will be a distraction for a change. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think it's going to be pretty.

If you look back to 2005 we ended up where we were because of the defensive frailties as you said - we tried to cheap our way to a Killer replacement after he had that serious injury. It didn't work and we ended up having to endure bloody Jacobson and Davenport swanning around at the back, Claus really missed Killer too. The parallels with this year are similar, but the opposite end of the pitch. We're not amazing defensively this year, don't get me wrong, but we've tried to cheap out in attack and 'get by' which has ultimately killed us. In 2005 we had sought after attackers in Crouch, Camara and even Phillips (and Beattie for half the season), but I can't think of any of our 'strikers' who would be sought after this year. We've not given ourselves a chance.

What a huge bonus that would be for us! Quite easily one of, if not the worst CM I've ever seen play in the PL for us.

Oh for sure it can be traced back to previous seasons, the lack of investment under the Gao years hindered us - but it was made 100x worse by the horrendous use of the little money we did have. We've kind of fast-tracked the decline this year though with lots of poor decisions, but like you say we're not here just because of Rasmus and co - it's been brewing for a while, it's just whatever they've done has sped it up (not ideal). Had we got a proper striker in the summer we may have ridden out the storm this year and grown from there, but sadly everything has been allowed to catch up with us.

I remember 2005 vividly, unfortunately. From Marcus Bent making it 2-2 at the death for Everton, to bloody Ruud scoring against us on the final day. (And the 5-1 smashing by Watford in the cup that season). But we did have some good moments, the result against Boro at their place, beating Spurs at home, the last min draw against Palace, the last min win against Norwich with that Camara goal and obviously Blackstock scoring against the Skates. Less said about the away game. We were in with more of a shout in 2005 though, made more of a game of it and certainly had more points at this stage than we do now. We won't be taking it to the last day this year that's for sure, and that's why it's pretty obvious we've been down for months. Clubs on 24 points at the end of April do not survive. No precedence for it and there never will be.

It's the goal scoring situation, which has been highlighted even more by adding an inexperienced GK in between the sticks who lets in any shot on target. We don't stand a chance. Obviously you can look at Jones and go WTF, but I do still believe our problems go back to the summer when we screwed up the striker hunt and decided to go with Adams and Armstrong - no wonder we are gone.

We have been for many months, I came to terms with it when we lost to Forest way back. Looked pretty certain since then really. I'm just going to watch the rest of the season with zero expectations with an 'on the beach' mentality preparing for next year, only we can get ourselves into a relegation battle and end up with nothing to play for in the final 6

For all the internal clamour about us being so 'well run' and ''sensible'', we have probably made some of the worst footballing decisions in the country over the last few years. Nathan Jones, Moussa, McCarthy, Forster double contracts to name just a few. Terribly run.

He went a bit stale, but they'd be stupid to look back on his tenure with anything other than happy memories. This is Leicester we are talking about, under his tenure they got into Europe 3 years in a row (almost the Champions league) and won the FA Cup. Their recruitment and finances hit a bit of a dead-end in recent years, as shown by the signings of Vestergaard and Bertrand, but I'm genuinely surprised at how much hate they had for him. Be careful what you wish for springs to mind there.

Adam Armstrong fetched £15.6m and he was into the last year of his contract @ Blackburn. Tella still has a few years left to run. Bidding starts between £20-25m for me.

That was such a poor decision, no matter how many times you replay that's a dive. Luton looked exactly what they were - lots of effort, passion, but zero quality. I think what they're doing at the moment is the perfect level for them, compete in the top end of the Champ, win games, dream etc. But if they did ever get promoted to the PL then they would be totally and utterly destroyed, it would be painful to watch.

Another one!

At what point do you make the call for the players sake though? I'd trust the judgement of those closer to the situation to be honest, we know how susceptible this guy is to injuries so the last thing you want to do is run him to the ground. Having him for 70mins per game for the rest of the season is better than 90mins in one, and then 0 mins in the upcoming 3 or 4 as he's injured. We had the opposite argument last year - we'd overplayed Tino, managed him poorly etc. But this year we are being careful with Lavia and that's also wrong. But as I said, the problem wasn't the sub - it's the replacement, blame the scouts for giving us Diallo as the replacement.

I wouldn't want him anywhere near this club next year, not a massive fan of his attitude and technically he seems incredibly limited. If we sign him as part of our Championship squad then I fear we'd have learnt nothing. We need a reset and that means dumping the likes of him when we have the chance to. It's the time to be ruthless, not the time to start offering out contracts to more also-rans.

I still don't know why everyone is throwing their arms up in the air on the Lavia sub, seriously look back from 70mins on and he was blowing - he could hardly move. The problem wasn't the sub, if you want to blame anyone blame the recruitment for giving us Diallo and deciding to sell Romeu. And if we don't stay up because of '2' points, I won't be looking at this game as the game we threw it away in. Wolves, Forest, Leeds, Palace to name a few would feature higher in my list. As crap as the capitulation was on Friday, it's still a bonus point in the grand scheme.

Livramento i'll give you, but I don't think we should be applauding him for finding Small or Simeu. The later two will just drift off into lower league obscurity. The youth signings we made this summer, in addition to the likes of Lavia, Edozie etc were 100% Shields. Give him Credit for Livramento for sure, and the likes of Ballard and Doyle over the last few years, but he has been part of the setup who thought it was a good idea to offer Moussa a new deal.
