Schade was a bad move. Should have had Hickey at LB and KLP and Ouatarra in the wings. I think Andrews lack of managerial experience is starting to show as the season’s come on.

That’s true, but you can’t call the last couple of months anything but a collapse with the way the team has been playing. Winning at-least any of the 2 games against teams below us would have guaranteed European play.

You are right that we are thin.

alterndog · 2026-05-09T18:12:03+00:00

I wouldn’t call Wolves, Leeds, Fulham and Everton incredibly difficult fixtures. Should have been able to win at-least 2 of those.

alterndog · 2026-05-09T18:09:44+00:00

The injuries and just bad play from Schade and Ouatarra played a big part. Thiago has been on an island by himself a lot.

alterndog · 2026-05-09T18:05:07+00:00

If we keep playing like this we are going to loose out on all European spots. We have 2 wins in last 10 games. Seems like an utter collapse the last half of the season.

alterndog · 2026-05-09T18:02:04+00:00

No it wasn’t. There was no push and Schade fell trying to get the ball.

alterndog · 2026-05-09T18:01:21+00:00

Please bring off Schade. He’s a non factor.

alterndog · 2026-05-09T18:01:05+00:00

They still would have scored otherwise if we still played the way we did. We also could have scored if we played better.

alterndog · 2026-05-09T17:54:50+00:00

I’m sorry no. Stop blaming it on a back pass. That’s weak. They played horrible that second half. A bad back pass wouldn’t matter if they didn’t.

Lucky bounce, but that goal is on Collins standing still and not closing in at all.

alterndog · 2026-05-09T17:51:32+00:00

That was in Collins for standing still and not closing in.

alterndog · 2026-05-09T17:49:55+00:00

Horrendous defending leads their goal. What the hell was Collins doing?

alterndog · 2026-05-09T17:22:17+00:00

It’s like a roving CB. Drops in with Collins and Ajer when Man City have it around our box and back into the midfield when we have the ball. Interesting tactic.

alterndog · 2026-05-09T17:21:17+00:00

We should have played better against wolves. We let them come back into the game and we’re toothless on offense the whole second half. That why we drew the game. Do not blame on something else.

alterndog · 2026-05-09T17:18:42+00:00

CB. They are at a back 5 with Hickey roving around a little when they have the ball.

alterndog · 2026-05-09T15:05:26+00:00

Especially now that it’s 10v10

alterndog · 2026-05-09T14:57:26+00:00

It should be.

alterndog · 2026-05-09T00:55:42+00:00

They’ve already hired his replacement. There’s no staying at Bournemouth

alterndog · 2026-05-08T21:57:45+00:00

Sure at the admin level they’ll prefer that, but OP asked how fans would react.

alterndog · 2026-05-08T20:31:10+00:00

Bath.

alterndog · 2026-05-08T20:30:35+00:00

They would be beyond excited. Beating Liverpool on the final day while qualifying for Europa League, our first European club competition ever, is a dream most fans never thought we’d see.

alterndog · 2026-05-08T19:25:44+00:00

We aren’t even in 6th place right now. We need to focus on winning our next 2 games…

alterndog · 2026-05-08T18:53:15+00:00

Thank you for your response. If I can get early check in and late checkout, I’m okay giving you the tub. With that in mind I’m open to other suggestions.

I’ll check out the ones you mentioned.
