The Bourne(mouth) Ultimatum

[truewhite15]

Well, that were shite. Again.

Any good points that might have been worth mentioning completely overwritten by the poor result, throwing away a 2 goal lead.

Cold, wet, miserable. And those "Gartside/Freedman Out" chants sounded fairly loud from where I was sitting.

[jonnycooper]

We,ve moved up a place from 20th to 19th.If we can do this every week[up 1 place] from now till seasons end,we,ll be alreet!!!!!

[Annoyed Grunt]

Just the one...but I didn't fall...

Were you first, second or third?

Second....

Ahhh....You can still win a crate of Carling....

That second one, nearly landed at the DW.

It's not as easy as you think...I were more bothered about falling arse over tit, plus the centre circle felt like clay.....

[Worthy4England]

Not at all easy - I played full-back at Rugby a good few times.

Think everyone should have got some free beer today, the weather was that bad.

[Hoboh]

Anyone seen any comments by Freedman yet or do you think there’s a good chance he's with Garty negotiating his pay off?

[officer_dibble]

Gartside first then freedman
He cant be allowed to pick another sh*t manager!

[Bruce Rioja]

Totally ran out of patience with DF. He has to go!

- Firstly, didn't deserve to be 2-0 up. Should have gone 0-1 down. Bournemouth were the better team throughout.

- Still not closing down the opposition well enough, especially in the final third.

- M.Davies for Medo sub. Why try and shut up shop and defend a slender 2-1 advantage with 35 minutes to play at home with a defence as poor and as fragile as ours. We were always going to concede when we invite the pressure.

- Not even testing the keeper or getting a shot on target once it went to 2-2 is absolutely unforgivable in my opinion.

- Eagles, touch was terrible, gave it away almost every time he touched it.

- Spearing. Drop him. Gets overrun, can't pass, no presence, allows players to run past him, headless chicken!

- Players attitudes. They don't want to play for freedman, it's blatantly obvious that he's lost the dressing room. "Ability is nothing without attitude".

- Juckievic (or however you spell his name). Looked good, held it up better than anyone this season, shame nobody could feed off his flicks and lay offs. No one close enough to him.

- We are well and truly in a relegation battle. It has taken until today for me to accept it.

Dougie out!!

This, for me, is spot on with the exception of the second line. I thought that we once again were the stronger side in the opening period, then, just when you're hoping that they'll really kick on they do the absolute opposite. Something that really worries me though was that Freedman said on GMR after us going from playing reasonably well to playing like a parks side was that, and get this "We reverted to type". Now think about that.

Freedman also admitted on GMR that there wasn't anything wrong with Davies when he took him off, so subbing him for Medo was another show of his managerial genius then.

Ordinarilly people that leave before the end of the match, especially when the scores are level mildly annoy me. Today I felt absolute empathy with them. Haven't read all the thread so don't know if this is mentioned, but today was the first time (that I've heard) that "Freedman Out" was bellowed by many and with true intent.

There's a recording of DF's interview in the box half way down, on the left.

"He's as frustrated as the fans are." ... and that's a direct quote. I don't think he fckg is though.

Apparently, we let a goal in and "we reverted to type" .... he has players who don't have the right character and he has to change the personnel ... small decisions are going against us right now ... and tiny things go wrong and affect the mindsets of certain players.

Change the personnel ? Change the fckg personnel. How about playing the fckg personnel you do bring in you fckg stump ?

There's only one personnel change needed sunshine.

Thank fook for that, I was freezing me tits off.

[elhadj]

Yes, some things hurt much more than cars and girls, Bruce.

Yet again though he has 5 or 6 of his own signings on the bench

Someone else said that he's lost the dressing room, shock horror....who the fcuk would want to play for that clueless clown - the worse thing for Freedman and Gartside is that he now lost the fans big time....and it will now get far more toxic unless Freedman goes now.

[bwfcdan94]

Well that was a bit disappointing. On the bright side at least I had money on Wednesday to beat Reading today.

[Bijou Bob]

Awful. Jutkz aside, that was as tactically inept a management performance I am ever likely to see. Tickets are available for Tuesday apparently. No sh1t Sherlock. I won't be there.

[Lord Kangana]

is it me ????

I wish it was, instead of this clown.

[Bijou Bob]

Ps And just for the Bogdan haters, but for him and three outstanding saves, we were dead and buried.

[Vertigo]

Well, depressing as it may be, I think my first visit to the Reebok could be a last day relegation fight. F*ck.

[Bruce Rioja]

Yes, some things hurt much more than cars and girls, Bruce.

Indeed, Monty. One can only hope that heaven waits, all heavenly, over the next horizon.

[bobo the clown]

He feels too many players don't have the right heads, right mentality. He (again) wants fresh personnel of the right type. Let's take a peep, shall we ...

Bogdan - Not his player, but seems happy to play him.
Baptiste - his
Mills - not his. Did all he could to bin him
Knight - not his, but made him his captain
Ream - not his. May well fit that tag.
Spearing - his ... and his second captain choice
M Davies - not his, though gave him a contract extension. Is clearly capable
Eagles - not his. May well fit that tag.
Trotter - his, brand new.
Lee - not his. May well fit that tag. But we all KNOW he has ability
Jutkiewicz - his

Subs:
Lonergan - not his. Plays him when he must
Danns - his
Pratley - not his. Whatever he is or isn't I don't see him as a quitter
Moritz - his
Medo - his. I don't blame him if his head drops. The poor fckrs not being used properly
White - his. Largely absolved from anything as a youngster coming through
Hall - his


So, go on Mr F. WHY should we trust you to bring new ones in ?

[Peter Thompson]

I thought Medo was also a Freedman signing
