It's passion, though. I stress it's not my thing, but we go from looking like we've threw away a lead to getting a winner with the last kick of the game.

Are we only allowed to celebrate goals against the top 10 now? Top 5?
I don't think anyones annoyed that people celebrated the winner, just took issue with them going on the pitch which is a bit much tbf.
 

.....I thought we were disappointing 2nd half (have to admit to only watching from half time). The way we are set up they were ready for picking off on the break but other than the great cross from Coleman we didn't create. Chuffed Barkley came up with a goal when we needed but he was one of a few who went missing, Kone lacked accuracy and I was very surprised he stayed on the pitch.
 
Hopefully a lesson learnt for all the young players, games are never over especially when 2-0 up or when just having scored.

Just an observation our two young centre backs where both the last 2 players back from celebrating with Ross, we can blame all the tactics from Martinez and fans spilling onto the pitch, sometimes inexperience can cost you.
 

Was listening to Five Live on the way home from my football match, and one of their players was interviewed and said that they asked how much time was left after Ross' goal, and the ref told one of them "It's Done". Not that it makes any difference, as professionals you have to play to the final whistle...
 
Just out of interest and maybe spark conversation, what would you do different mate? I know you said to me Martinez get someone to help with the defensive side, but do what?

On paper it's a good solid defence (and a keeper) so what's going wrong back there?

The defence goes to sleep far too easy and gives away a lot of space

It's a regular thing as well, so just marking it down to player errors misses the mark I feel

I don't know if it's the training, the tactics or both but we keep making these mistakes

I really feel Martinez needs to get someone else in to handle all the defending, the same way some NFL teams have a dedicated defensive coach
 

....very disappointing, feels like a defeat twice over. For me it was about a lack of leadership on the pitch. Beyond Barry we needed somebody to take charge and I wasn't seeing much of that in the 2nd half. I like the 2 CBs but at a time like that we missed Jagielka to see the game out.

yip.

You saw how Jags reacted when he scored in the last minute at The Pit......just turned round and ran back, he knew hiw important it was to keep focused.
 
I was still fumin' at 3-2.

Should never have got to that stage. We shoulda been miles outta sight by the time their first went in. We became so lacksadaisical and complacent in the first 20 mins of that 2nd half that a result like that was a probability more than a remote possibility.


We got what we deserved today. Quite possibly slightly more than we deserved (I'd have given that penalty shout that they got turned down, tbh)

That'll cost us, that result. :mad:

I'm not lookin' forward to 'boro. Think we'll struggle up there tbh. Today's result'll give them heart.

Credit to Bournemouth...They were outclassed but came out and gave it a real go in the second half, and got into our heads. Good motivation by their manager. Another lesson learned by our potentially superb tean...its never won till the final whistle, you don't get anything for winning at half time. We still look good and some of the first half football was superb according to SSN. Second highest scorers in the league?
