[Jimmy Fleck]

We’ve been awful

 

[FriethBlade]

Cant say that wasn't coming

 

[Russ]

Where were defenders there

 

[Shoreham_Bhoys]

Nice and easy 1-0 so far for Leicester, they're far the better side and are unlucky only to be 1 up.

Henderson the only one at it.

 

[HeySethUTB]

Look tired/confused and not winning enough second balls.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Poor so far

 

[Eza Blade]

That’s been coming. Can some one call security and report a stolen need of urgency

 

[Freethinker]

We’ve been awful

Midfield is shocking today cutting through like butter

 

[HeySethUTB]

Leicester are playing quite high, preventing us from building any attacks and pinning back any overlaps. Not sure we should be hitting long balls to the mac attack.

 

[jono_t2000]

Pressing is nowhere near as tight as previous games. Fatigue after playing relatively same 11 game after game in short space seems to be starting to take it's toll

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Enda is having a mare

 

[Stevo]

They've been on a right fucking bender by the looks of

 

[Blade58]

Poor today so far

 

[Birley Blade]

Have to completely switch the style of play second half, we’re playing into their hands. Morgan and Evans taking McBurnie out of the game, as soon as they sense a cross they’ve got countless bodies back defending in the box. Mousset and Freeman on at HT to drive at them with pace.

 

[aBladeInTheNorthernSky]

Fleck on for Enda, put Osborn at LB

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Nothing is sticking up front

Keiron Freeman?

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Terrible, need fleck in the side, Osborn looks knackered and their midfield is dominating ours.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Osborn is the only one that doesn’t look knackered to me

 

[Birley Blade]

Keiron Freeman?

Luke Freeman is on the bench.

 

[Freethinker]

Osborn is the only one that doesn’t look knackered to me

Plenty of running into blind alleys

 

[FriethBlade]

How the f did Bournemouth beat these 4.1?

Zero shots on target after 43 mins

 

[LoughboroBlade]

So far the highlight of the half had been where the camera went to Wilder on the tactics board.

 

[The Hobott]

Fleck on for Enda, put Osborn at LB

Maybe lundstram for Berge too

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Luke Freeman is on the bench.

No he isn’t.

 

[Kryten]

Awful 1st half, so sloppy in possession! Need a change at HT!

 

[jono_t2000]

Lunny for Berge
Sharp for Mcburnie
Fleck for Osborne

 

[FriethBlade]

Well the only good thing about that half is despite being dominated we are only one down and still in it

 

[HeySethUTB]

Not laid a glove on these, very sloppy and reminiscent of the Aston Villa performance so far. Enda needs a break.

 

[Blade58]

Half of em ain’t got out of bed yet

Need a rocket from CW, cos that isn’t form to get a result
