Any Chris Wood types out there? Big, strong, good with his feet and his head. |
| Forum Reply | The difference between us against Man U and Bournemouth against Newcastle today at 10:52 19 Jan 2025
Absolutely. Juric is getting his ideas across and is still discovering what certain players can do, you can look at all the back videos all you like but still need to witness your players in action in various situations. He must know soon which players he can rely on and which he can't. However he was forced to change when Dibling got injured, but putting Smallbone on instead of another forward like Archer, was strange as it took the pressure off Man U. He's learnt that his first 11 were good, but he's hasn't got much in reserve. The return of Charles may help. |

Exactly this. Juric is getting the best out of Sulemana and him and Dibling look a force up front. It's nice to witness an 'edge of your seat game' where we bossed the play for most of it. |

Out of all our subs probably only Lallana and Archer would have been any good. I feel sorry for Juric because his tactics are working, we looked a good team up to 70 minutes. |

The best we've played for a few years in the PL and we are now seeing the Duric effect, no pissing around at the back and quick forward play, every time the defence or midfield get the ball (we're all conditioned to expecting the ball to go backwards) and now it's a forward pass at speed. He's identified his best starting 11, Unfortunately the second string players aren't good enough, which is the fault of SR , and replacing Dibling with Smallbone was an odd move, when Archer could have come on to attack them. If we'd had Duric earlier in the season we'd of definitely had a few wins on the board. He's a breath of fresh air. Let's support him and look forward to more attacking displays. |

Well he has spent money, but player recruitment by his trusted staff has been woeful. I'll bet he was mightily pissed off that RM was given another 3 year contract before proving himself in the PL, that's cost him a lot of money. |

You're on the money there. They fell in love with Russ and would go weak at the knees when he came over and whispered them. The fine cut of his jib, his constant hair preening, the wiff of his perfume and a furtive glance at his poorly concealed love muscle, were all too much for them. They imagined countless times that it was they who woke up next to Russ in the morning and not Lucy. Yes, loyal fans but were so suckered in by the bearded love bucket. |

I'm just saying our aspirations are so low, Che was bang average to disappointing, we went even lower with other players. Stu was a very intelligent player but needed to go.. Our replacements are worse. |

How come other clubs like Bournemouth and Brighton do the 'number's game' better than us? |

We get a lot of support from the Bournemouth area and beyond, and everything up to Bristol and home counties so yes potentially a large fan base. We have the the biggest stadium which can easily be enlarged and superb training facilities, and a PL history, so you would hope potential purchasers would be having a look! Our current chaos (no strong leadership and £200m wasted) and plunging into the championship has got to be attractive to those who want to buy a football club. |

That's how low we've become when we miss Che Adams, he couldn't hit a barn door, and always put it over the bar from 5 yards...Not PL standard but could run and disrupt a bit. Stuey on the other hand had guile, and was one of the most intelligent players we had. We replaced him with an older version, Lallana. |

Yes they've had an easy ride, and they're not fit enough. Dibling has gone off the boil since touchy-feely has gone. |
