Lucky point but I'll take it. Smithies our man of the match by a country mile. Unlike Tuesday days like today is why I love watching Town

That's the difference innit. Some games you get 30 shots in and only score one. The next we only had 30% possession but still got a point.
It's a great league this with all teams able to beat each other at any given time. Unlike that boring five billion pound rubbish known as the premier league.

My mind is busy re-writing that game as a really good match with a deserved point but the reality is that there was only one team in it for the majority of the game (and it wasn't Town.) Bournemouth are a good team and played some lovely football at times, but not quite clinical enough and Smithies was at the top of his game. They wuz robbed, but I'll take it any day of the week. Edgar better than I've seen him so far, Bunn useless, couldn't believe he wasn't brought off for Wells.

Honourable mention to the ref, after some absolute horror shows in the last few games, he wasn't bad. Thought the yellow card could have been a straight red but he played a good advantage a few times and had a few stern words here and there but mostly let the game flow.

Great result, I suppose complaining about drawing would be totally churlish and unnecessary. Sounded like backs to the wall stuff but we dug in and got a point, so well done lads.

would like peoples opinion regarding the push on Vaughan that the ref waved away, Radio folk thought it was a stonewall penalty

I don't remember screaming for a penalty and, as your dad will no doubt confirm, it doesn't take much to get me screaming for a penalty. There were one or two challenges outside the box I was screaming for but the ref let things go for both sides.

ART, I just said to Wakey, it's come to something when players and fans are celebrating a draw at Bournemouth as if we've won the cup. Backs to the wall is absolutely right.

Bournemouth are probably the best team in the league and one of the few teams to genuinely outplay us, most of the time we've been outplayed is because we were awful not the other team being good
Bournemouth are just a better team than us, we are going to come up against those for a few years yet, but its a credit to the team and the slowly changing culture that they kept their shape, didnt panic too much when it was back to the wall and didnt give up to come away with something. earlier in the season and certainly last year, after going 1 down to a team like Bournemouth the only thing we would have come away with is a considerable worsening of our goal difference.

i do wonder how Bournemouth will survive in the premiership with a stadium that only holds 12,000 and i do wonder what kid of creative accounting they have done to comply with FFP

They've spent very little when you consider the money they've made from transfers. £7m from the Lallana deal & £3m for Grabban this season alone. Pretty sure them and Blackpool were the only 2 Championship clubs to post a profit the last time accounts were published.

its not just transfer fees but what they are paying in wages to to keep their players there , the Lallana deal was a 1 time windfall payment and not regular income, it was 25% of the 25 million fee , so 6.25 million not 7 , i know it sounds like splitting hairs but 750,000 is a lot of money
the windfall payment cam about because a what was quite frankly a vastly over inflated fee for Lallana which just illustrate to me how much money has broken football.

all the Grabban money basically went on Callum Wilson

they may have posted profits the last time accounts came round but what about the next time.
