Yep, Bournemouth are some team under this manager.
And we battered them 4-0.

And they battered us 1-1 at the Vitality.

Yes but not happy to have lost 11 league games already this season now, going forward this has to change.

Have you written off next week already?

No was more a comment about next season. Feel we need to both become harder to beat but at the same time add more attacking variety to our play.

We’d lost 10 when you posted.

They did as well, that was a point ground out that day.

Also, if they’d scored the penalty at our place…

Absolutely. They were all over us in the second half until Emi pulled that save out. Nailed on 2-2 had they scored it I reckon.

Just to revisit this thread, in the end 61 would've been enough for 4th and 58 to get 5th.

That's even lower than I predicted as I'm fairly sure I was saying 62 for 5th from about mid-February. I did however say that I fully expected it to be much lower than normal because the entire make-up of the league was something we've never seen before.

Some of you need to learn to trust the stats nerds, when we post with confidence about things we're right far more often than we're wrong, there's a reason data science exists.

Sorry Paul but never trust the nerds, that's how we've ended up with bellends like Bezos, Musk and Thiel owning everything.
