...and who comes in?

Based on today, any one of the 37000 crowd, who could see what was coming as soon as Bournemouth scored one. Our manager could ‘smell it’ yet was seemingly powerless to do anything about it.

More realistically, I’d take a manager who can use the resources available to play a style of football where we proactively try to take the initiative and win games. Corberan from West Brom would be worth asking. He might welcome the opportunity to get away from Mason Holgate!

But we didn’t need more legs in that position. His change made the team less attacking and allowed Bournemouth to play out. We had them pinned back all second half with Ndiaye causing them problems.

To suggest that one change is even 20% of the reason we go on to throw 3 goals away in 7 minutes is laughable.

The team switched off, they scored and at 2-1 the whole lot of them soiled their undies.

To suggest it’s because Dyche took off one player is mad. People saying it was due to tiredness and he should’ve made changes earlier might have a point, but even then, three goals in 7 minutes, lads?

Come on.

This is why the subs lost us the game:

Well.

He brought our best player off for Abdoulaye Doucoure, a man who doesn’t know what his feet are doing at the best of times. This meant that we relinquished any control of the midfield.

Then he brought on Beto for DCL. This left us without any focal point to win headers or hold the ball up, which means Bournemouth could play on the half way line and camp us in our own half.

He left Garner on the bench when we were crying out for fresh legs as Tim was knackered. He also left O’Brien on the bench despite their first two goals showing that we could not deal with crosses coming into the box. The winning goal came from a back post header where Keane was caught ball watching and letting his man ghost in at the back stick.

He used 2 out of the 5 subs available to him, whereas their manager used all 5 subs with loads of time remaining. They basically had half a fresh team going into the last 20 minutes and our players were running on fumes, while players sat on the bench and watched.

So there’s all that, I suppose.
