Brentford, after playing so freely for weeks, look to have the weight of the entire world on their shoulders at the moment. It's amazing what the tiniest bit of pressure can do to players, they just haven't turned up and are 1-0 down to Stoke at the moment.

Agree, I think we'll be operating in the 10-20m bracket for the rest of eternity! Which is frustrating when Bournemouth have been able to splash 25-30m on a player, he didn't do much but still - would be good to have an owner who wanted the club.

Let's not buy another non-scoring striker, please.

Weird.

On another note, nice to see Austin really setting the levels at WBA. They really don't like him there, calling him a L1 player on a downward path. If Robson-Kanu gets in the team ahead of you, it's clear your time is up at the 'top levels'. Shame, he was such a nice 'chap'.

Well done for not turning up Watford! Biggest game of their season, maybe the last 2 seasons. Remaining games against City and Arsenal, their only hope is that Bournemouth don't pickup 3 points in the next two games - as Watford aren't going to pick anything.

There was a lot of talk about the op and procedures he had being an absolute mess, and that kind of says it all. Good to see him back and scoring though. Always liked Jay, shame for him as he could have been a very, very good player and would probably have left as part of our exodus post MP.

Their regression continues if those are the level of targets they are aiming for.

Apart from the best dugouts. They won that league.

JWP isn't human, so I assume he will start. He'd probably start again if the game was tonight.

This is what I'm hoping, we've got a terrific coach here and it would be such a waste if he's not backed - again. I'm not sure where the backing is coming from though, we have an owner who doesn't give two hoots about us.

Yeah, PEH's states are influenced by the fact he goes backwards more often than not. When he does keep the ball it's in a very passive and safe way. Slows the entire team down when he's in it. Even Romeu offers more incisive passing than he does.

The worry for me is lack of goals. Long is a decent foil for Ings, that's why he was signed up - but he doesn't score goals, neither does Adams and Obafemi is raw. So....take Ings out of the side, and we have no real ability to win games. I hope the club realise this, as we'd be dicing with death.

That would be ideal! Not sure we have the money for all that! I reckon we'll get one CB and RB though, and maybe an additional attacker later on in the window. Reed will be given the chance.

Looks a decent player, good cover for Bertrand - seems more than capable. Just don't put the poor lad next to Vestergaard.

Are they blind?

The Bissouma shot from the penalty spot? He just fell asleep I think, he's got a lot of learning to do. He's certainly not good enough to step in and be a regular next year, but I think he has something about him.

Harsh on Vokins, I thought he held himself really well and gave us genuine balance down the left. Looks to have a bit of pace about him and certainly didn't look out of place, it was just a shame he had Vesterturd next to him.

He's being played in an interesting role, I'm not sure it's his position. He was the straight replacement for Armstrong in squad place and actual position. I think he's a central midfielder, not a wide player what so ever and I'm not sure he will ever adjust to that role. This is why we need a bit more competition in the area on the right, I don't think Armstrong is a winger either but he has a bit more about him. If we get KWP, he may relax our need for right sided wingers.

I'd take a fag packet for him, just get him gone. Dreadful player.

First half was one to forget, but if a game summed up PEH's home career at Southampton then that was it. He is the one constant of our utterly dreadful home form for 3 years, I cannot wait to get shot of him. Vestertard can toss off too - what an aberration of a football player. He can shoot, but his game is to defend and he cannot defend against anyone. Hopefully he's out of the door ASAP. Positives were KWP, really good impact when he came on - interesting use of him, coming in side - but he uses the ball so well, commits players and seems to make things happen. He has a low centre of gravity which means he can wiggle out of most challenges. I'm becoming sold, I'll be honest. Still wouldn't pay any more than 11m though. If anything, this game highlighted that both Adams and Obafemi are not able substitutes for Ings - we really, really need actual competition for Ings in the summer. If he gets injured then we are dead.

Relegated.

Did Davis sleep with your wife or something?

I couldn't give two shits about Bournemouth and their bucket rattling antics. They need to be brought down a peg or two and a lot of their new fans need to drift back to Chelsea or whoever they used to support. I want to win both, I've got no interest in Bournemouth and I couldn't give two hoots if they stay up, go down, go bust or drift into the sea. I just want us to win the games we play.

The commentators keep going on about Liverpool dropping off as they've won the league, but they seem to forget that they'd dropped off in Feb....they just haven't really got back to where they were pre-Jan. Taking this into next season will be funny, can't see them retaining it with this lack of momentum.
