Didn't catch any of the game today due to work. Watched the highlight this evening and I've got to be honest, considering we played pretty much the first team from the championship, it looks and sounds like we were the better team? Very positive result today and maybe once the new signings have had a bit more time to bed in we could be even better
They controlled possession. We didn’t do our normal high press so their centre backs were constantly passing it sideways, aimless possession.
Also they seemed slow and lethargic as though they expected it to be easy. Their attack was toothless with Henderson hardly having anything to do.
It was a bit of a poor game really. We were generally cautious being careful not to push too many men forward, so we didn’t create much either, however we did have the best chances, Was quite disappointed that we didn’t play our normal/ impressive attacking game due to a lack of attacking midfielders.
Then in the last 15 minutes we swapped Freeman for Lundstrum, brought on sharp and McBurnie.
The team was 0-1 down, so we had no choice but to attack. We committed men forward and played with freedom.
For the last 10 minutes we played our normal attacking game and looked far better than Bournmouth, who were just sat back handing on.
The goal was coming and was deserved. Overall we were slightly the better side but a draw was a fair result.
Plenty of positives, our defence looked very strong...Henderson didn’t have to make a save until the 58th minute.
In the last 15 minutes we played in the same attacking style as previous seasons and we had Bournmouth pinned back, so I’m hoping we can produce this at home.
