Welcome Jon and team, happy to have you here! Much better than I expected / feared and great to see some positivity around here.

I don't think OGS would come. Not a big enough club for him anymore, and he probably doesn't like us due to the rivalry back in the Ferguson days. OGS absolutely adores Ferguson and Man Utd.

Deila is going to Standard Liege and is out of the running at Rovers.

Updated with today's news: Rothwell, Johnson, Chapman, Davenport confirmed gone. Butterworth, Magloire, Eastham retained.

Rothwell has also confirmed now that he is leaving.

I get that but have you forgotten all the relegation talk on here in the summer?

8th place it is then. Disappointing given the first half of the season obviously but compared to pre-season expectations not bad at all.

Bizarre indirect free kick for us inside their 16 now after the keeper handled a backpass

Someone said it, I don’t really care who it was. Don’t get your pantalons in a twist because someone has a different opinion than you.

Now you are talking about the team, I was talking about individual players and the ridiculous statement that only van Hecke deserves any credit for this season.

I’m starting to see why Tony bigs up our opponents every week, it’s clear that the team only perfoms when there’s no pressure

Wow Diaz is back

A better season than we all expected given earlier performances. Kaminski I’d agreee with although you could make the case that he was even better last season so I didn’t include him.

Several players have had a better season than ever. Brereton, Wharton, Travis, Buckley (now).. They certainly deserve credit for that.

Holy *%# Buckley!!

And the players don’t deserve any credit for getting us there in the first place?

That’s extremely harsh on the team, we wil finish top 10 after all

I hope not to be honest. Won’t doubt his passion but the theatrics are not befitting a captain IMO.

Not the worst half really, Bournemouth are just a better side. No wonder given their purchasing power.

Not sure why people are getting on Hedges' back. He looked good to me last night, especially considering his lack of game time for us.

Well done Tony for finally changing the formation. Hard to pick a MoM, maybe Rothwell who showed what an important player he can be on his day. But plenty of others in the mix as well.

It’s like it’s late 2021 all over again

While I don’t agree with all of this, Nyambe was particularly poor today.

I don’t think I’ve said this before but Mowbray has to go. Nice enough bloke I’m sure but the inability to get a starting eleven firing and motivated over so many games is just not acceptable and cannot be allowed to continue. Mowbray out.

The subs have been good today and all made sense. The starting lineup however was bad. Again. These dreadful first half performances have to stop.
