Yep, men against boys. No way back now, they'll just let us have possession and pick us off on the counter attack.
After 30 mins I would have had taken Chappers off but last 15 he got into game. That Billing looks decent for them. They looked as though if we equalised they would have upped it a gear.
Did ok in spells, but that was a killer blow at the end. Damage limitation in the second half. I think Woodrow might be finding out exactly how scary Ismael is at the moment
Its good to play teams like this, like brentford they are class act and you can see who can play in our own side. Imho i believe we have done ok just up against far far better players.
That first half performance reminded me of our time in the Championship under Stendel. Some nice football being played, chances not being taken, and wide open at the back.
To me, they look very ordinary at the back and we look very very ordinary up front. We look sort of OK at the back and they look stupendous up front. We are one quality striker away from being pretty good. Game over anyway.
Your a STRIKER Woodrow!!! When Chaplin crossed Helik and Anderson attack the ball 18 yards further forward than Woodrow, then with thirty seconds to the break he turns up just outside our area try’s to dribble out of defence and gives them a goal. Save your energy for the box
We knew this season was going to be another learning curve, some good well established teams in it. We have to beat the teams around us and we should be ok.
No shame in losing to Bournemouth, goals aside we played ok against a very expensively assembled team. Get the next goal and you never know.
Thats absolutely brainless from Andersen - needless free kick. Edit: and they've scored. Well done Mads.
Just while people are taking Woodrow down from the cross, it’s good to hear Don Goodman showing new is as bad a summariser as he was a footballer.
