Bournemouth v Leeds Utd Match Thread

Bit of a bugger as far as the team goes. Sinsiterra our best player at the attacking end. Wober our best defender. Adams our best midfielder.

Predictability means only change will be Summerville for Sinisterra.

The loss of Adams has caused us immeasurable harm.

Just compare the number of goals we've conceded with him to the number conceded without.

[Boo Radley]

75% chance of playing, apparently.

Typical

[The Subhuman]

Meslier
Ayling
Firpo
Gyabi
Koch
Cooper
Summerville
McKennie
Rodrigo
Gnonto
Harrison

[1964white]

So we will be without our best defender and our best finisher currently - what could possibly go wrong ?

And our best midfielder.

[1964white]

I'd like to see a bit of shake up. Something new. Stick with leaders like Cooper and Ayling (seems Wober out again). But add some fresh excitement and energy to the team.

Javi doesn't do fresh or excitement, more like stale & boring.

Some fans told me we wouldn't miss Adams

Some fans told me we wouldn't miss Adams

I blame the managers for being reliant on a key player.

That goes for Wober too, stupid fcking managers having their preferred starters and no adequate back up to replace, why didn't the prick make Pascal and Firpo just as good a defender as Wober ?

Beyond me - and them it seems

Any answers Cjay ? Aussie ?

I once knew a guy that brought excitement to the terraces.

[Ellandback1]

Tavernier went off injured towards the end of their game last night. He was MOTM according to the BBC report and the goalscorer on the night. Seems he'll face a fitness test over the weekend.

Could really do with him being out. Wouldn't mind Billings picking a bad bug in the next 24 hours as well!

Or lost at sea (Biling)

Aye and we need him back, especially if we end up in the championship.

Can't envisage any other coach getting us out of that league. One thing for certain, we won't do a Burnley.

[Jaydog]

Good record v Cherries.

[CHAPELALLMAN]

And our best midfielder.

True.

Similar to when Phillips was out.

You and me will be dead pal, we'll never see his like again at Leeds.

And in the Championship anorl, what fcking top manager is gonna want that job huh ?

Some people just never know when they have a good thing, he had big big plans for us and himself, he would've stuckit right up Pep and his doubters by saying ...'Look,i did this my way, with fck all money from the ground up'

Absolute fcking fools we've been and ALL that wanted shut of him should be disgusted in themselves, and take up cricket the blind fools.

They couldn't see the woods for the trees about what the great man was all about.

And for those dickheads that use .....'oh blah blah fcking blah, we were shipping goals'......if you couldn't understand and see why,then you shouldn't be watching football.

I told everyone to expect those thrashings, because i could see it coming, dumb fcks.

[Cjay]

Bamford and Rutter did work in 1 game long ago, but after seeing rutter since them he looks a waste of money

He does and he clearly isn't ready based on what we've seen.

Or at the very least isn't what we needed.

But he has barely had a chance

[Kennyb41]

Similar to when Phillips was out.

Oh fck me, well, surprise surprise, has it shocked you that

Jesus.

[Cjay]

And it hasn't worked no matter who tried it. What made Javi think it could work for him?

He likes to play 4-4-2 and we only have 3 strikers.

Bamford, Rutter and Rodrigo

He clearly doesn't rate Rutter (given he plays Aaronson as a strike ahead of him).

So he has to pick the other 2 for his preferred formation.

But they don't work

They don't compliment each other at all.

Bamford isn't Deeney, can't hold the ball up and play off him anywhere near as well as Watford could Deeney in his prime.

Rodrigo isn't Andre Gray, can't run in behind like he did, so fundamentally it's never going to work.

[Cjay]

I'd like to see a bit of shake up. Something new. Stick with leaders like Cooper and Ayling (seems Wober out again). But add some fresh excitement and energy to the team.

The fact you wrote about Ayling and Cooper needing to start is a real show of how awful our recruitment has been as a 3rd season Premier league team.

You are probably right though.

But yes I agree, just do something different.

It drives me mad when managers do the same thing over and over again.

I'd love to see Rutter given a chance, he may flop but he'd struggle to be more of a hindrance than Rodrigo and Bamford have been recently.

[Mick Jones shoulder]

Give Rodders some more lines , he was interesting to watch
