Not impressed at all.....not a single 'Pulis out' comment.

What's happening on here?.....  

I'm TP's biggest critic, and I've been praying for him to go. But if he keeps learning from his mistakes, I'll be more than happy.
He's obviously been reading this Forum, and I think it's actually sinking in with him that there's more than one way to skin a cat.
It did take injuries and suspensions for him to pick Morrison and Brunt (and play them in the midfield). Now he's got the luxury of having Chadli on the bench for the trip to Hull.
I think the crowds will return as well if we continue to play as if we're the Home team, and not a 4th Division Wimbledon-of-old team, just there to frustrate, and stay up with the magical 38 draws.
I can't help but think that his new contract of a few weeks ago was drawn up on the understanding that his team drop their inferiority complex, and play this more adventurous style.
Go for it, Tone!

I thought it was a terrific performance and would echo the comments already made, particulate about Rondon and Morrison, whom I thought were excellent. It's good to see Brunty back and, while he's not - and has never been - quick, I think we've missed his excellent passing, not just from set pieces. My only slight concern was Nyom who, whilst accepting he's playing out of position, looks pretty slow and, with no left foot to speak of, has to always bring the ball back onto his right and so slow down any attack. I haven't seen enough of Galloway to really comment but would honestly prefer to see a naturally left footed player in that position. I assume Pulis will make do until the January transfer window.

Hasn't Galloway gone back?

Thought Nyom had a good game. He looks like a young Mulumbu.

I think Galloway is still there but there is talk of him going back in January. I'm not saying Nyom was poor, far from it, but he was playing against a largely non existent forward line so had the chance to go forward a lot. With the exception of the pull back for Rondon's goal, he never looks comfortable using his left foot. I suppose it's just the frustration of Pulis' policy of playing players our if position when he has others who are a natural fit

Pulis Out!!!





















Just for the fact that we are still boring and this was a one off

Great performance and result to follow up the Leicester win.
As has been said before, Morrison outstanding as well as Rondon & Phillips. Defence rarely tested but looked solid.

On another point, Sean Dyche may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I find him very honest and forthright during his post match interviews which is great.
He and Bournemouths Eddie Howe always come across very well in my opinion. Beats some of the other managers / coaches complaining about what they did or didn't get, what they 'didn't see' and moaning about refs.
Wonder what others think?

I think this could be a huge turning point for TP and to be honest despite not being over enamored with the bloke, if he gives us a few more performances like last night to add into any hard fought points we pick up I'd really struggle to see who could replace him. Also signings such as Evans, Rondon and Chadli are huge coups and I'm not convinced we'd have got those players in under Mel, Clarke, Hodgson etc.

He could easily return to his formula of working 'ard on Saturday though, so I'm going to be skeptical about the previous two games and reserve judgement for the time being.

Personally Borders I cannot stand the bloke. For all the media go on about Pulis and other more old fashioned managers for time wasting tactics etc, Howe is by far the worst IMO. The time wasting I've seen Bournemouth employ whilst he's been in charge has been bordering on ludicrous and he's potential as bad as Colin Wanker (Neil Warnock, sorry had to use that. My favourite anagram!) for encouraging cheating in his team. Especially when we played them at home last season.

I can't stand the gushing over him by the media, the guy has spent a fortune at Bournemouth and they rightly should be where they are right now given the money that has been spent.

Fair point HRK, it's all about opinions.
I wasn't really on about how much the mangers have spent on players or how they set up their teams.
Was more on about their post match interviews. I appreciate that Dyche couldn't really protect his players after their performance in Monday evenings match, but always think he gives an honest appraisal of the matches without looking for someone to blame when things haven't gone well.

That again is a fair point - and shows how low this game has become due to politics and money.

I'm late getting in on this one but after watching the SS recording i made due to working that night I made a few observations. Firstly I don't think we played that much different than usual we still counterattacked and allowed them to come on to us. However we pressed very high and with real intent the likes of Morrison and rondon worked very very hard and caused burnley so many problems. The early goal was the big plus because it meant they had to come out and attack which they like us don't usually like to do and it played right into our hands. We took our chances this time some good goals 4 out of 6 on target not bad for a team that doesn't score that many. Outstanding players for me Rondon (he's becoming immense he's got used to the prem is getting better and better and for a big lad he sure can motor he was like Jonah Lomu when he chased a ball he headed out of our box and won a free kick right down their end I really like this guy and I hope he sticks around and doesn't get the berabug. Morrison oh how we've missed him seems quicker more direct stronger and willing to tackle harder than ever before. Brunt I like this bloke he's been with us through thick and thin and is one of our better ball deliverers. The back four from this game is our best option yacob does what he does well. Foster kept a clean sheet dealt with what little they had and seems more in control of his area now. McClean has his critics but like rondon and morrison this guy is strong and quick if he has a fault its his final delivery he needs to get his head up and have a look he seems to do all the hard work and running but then his final pass is lacking a bit of accuracy and quality and its a shame. So to sum up I witnessed a team that worked 'ard with less possession than opposition but was lethal on the counter That's TP style through and through and on monday it worked a treat. To finish I'll leave you with a very weird coincidence that I swear is the truth and nothing but... On sunday night i had a dream. I was playing for WBA on the old school pitch I played as a kid and we scored 3 goals then I woke up lol! The next day my Tottenham mate at work texted me and said did i know if Morrison was fit because he'd put a bet on 3-1 wba win morrison to score before he checked if morrison was fit Doh! I told him I didn't know if he was fit but went on to explain my dream which matched his 3 goals bet and jokingly i said so you're good for that bit at least. Then as previously mentioned I was at work and busy and the first time I got to look at the score it was HT and i was waited for the BBC sport page to load up with that apprehensive bit of worrying doubt I always get Imagine my disbelief when I saw 3-0 =8-o Of course we went on to make it 4-0 but it was still spooky at the HT point
