I wish we were Bournemouth.

Is something I never, ever thought I would find myself typing.

Give it a rest. How many years of our existence would you have said this? This season only I imagine. 

It's all cyclical. They'll have 2 or 3 more years and be relegated again.

It was tongue in cheek mate. Chill.

Oh well. There was some hope for a few minutes but our finishing just isn't up to it. Neither's our defending. And the midfield is pretty threadbare too.

The wait to try and match or beat Derby's points record goes on.

That's literally all I'm hoping for this season.

All I’ve been hoping for since August to be honest.

Much better scoreline than I expected against them, 1 - 3 is almost respectable for us. Yep, that's how far we've fallen, lose at home against the mighty Bournemouth and it's not at all a surprise.  We could be the team that convinces the Premiere League to bring in 'vetting' because our players really shouldn't have been allowed to play in this league,  they are nowhere near the required standard.

I know it doesn't really matter but did anyone else think there was an offside in the build up to their 3rd. Haven't seen it back so can't say but - oh what the hell.😐

Yeah I thought that too. Was surprised we didn't have to wait 5 mins for a check because it looked quite close to me.

Not something I revel in, but I was among a few on here who called it early in us not looking likely to get past Derby’s record in any shape or form. Every area of our team is sub-standard in one way or another and there’s seemingly no competent management or coaching going on to even make a fist of the turd squad we’ve got. Definitely worse than the previous two relegation teams. I still can’t see us beating Derby’s record.

Only players I’d keep on are Ramsdale, KWP, Welington, Fernandes, Big Les (if possible) and Dibling. Possibly keep Sulemana.  The rest of ‘em should be sold or released - they’re losers. Juric out too and someone in who knows how to setup a solid 4231 / 433 and if necessary tweaks from there.

Have others become immune to defeats now? I used to really hate it when we lost but these days it hardly registers. Shame it's come to this but our owners just have zero clue about running a football club. Not sure what made them think they were cut out for this sort of business but surely they must realise now that they are in the wrong game. Dragan should clear them all out.

Yeah it used to ruin my day, potentially weekend.

Now it really doesn't bother me, which is a weird shame. I've become disillusioned to the point of numb antipathy.

I'm numb to the whole thing now.

I feel no connection to the players, and very little pride in my team.

Dismal. Hoping for a complete reset in the summer.

Not only are most of the players not good enough but they're on the beach by February. Look at the strength, pace and power in the established PL teams. We're so far off that. Will SR learn? I really don't know but history suggests not.

It really is embarrassing and bloody miserable  now.

As usual rallied for 10 mins and gave us hope, but Bournemouth were significantly better, and just stepped up a gear to put us back in our box.

Just need to hang in there for 3 more points from the remaining games.

I would actually be guardedly optimistic that that side/formation would scrape the 3+ points required to achieve the ultimate Phyric victory of avoiding being statistically the worst and/or equal worst team ever to play in this league.  😃

I’m not sure why Spors was effectively brought in after the window (as if we were going to bring players in), but I sure hope he’s starting to work out a strategy to offload the losers in this squad. No sentimentality - just sell or release and get it right this time. Anything less will result in surefire torrid time in the Championship.

Looked like KWP was playing them well onside though doubtless ‘It’s only So’ton who are fucked anyway so why bother to check’ was the general vibe @ Stockley Park.

Nailed it. I only saw the second half because i just couldn't be bothered to get up earlier to watch...correctly predicted we'd be 2-0 down at half time (but had us down to lose 3-0 so Sulemana goal a bonus. There was a brief 10 minutes after we'd scored that if we'd scored again it could have been interesting. Of course we concede again to eliminate any chance of a nervous last few minutes for them.
Thought Aribo played well, Fernandes, Dibbling, Ramsdale, Sulemana. Onuachu needs to get infront of his man and be more aggressive in the box. 

Juric? - anyone who plays Smallbone, let alone starts with him is an automatic incompetent red card in my book. I've had enough of him already.

I'm not sure why Spors was bought in at all - he hasn't exactly worked miracles in his previous role and right now we need something better than more mediocrity.

I just hope something happens that will change our trajectory, but we seem to be making poor decision after poor decision and there really is no clear plan.
