All in all a well deserved 3 points; can't recall us ever really being tested by Bournemouth which considering they had 70%+ possession shows how solid and organized the players were.
We haven't been a possession side for many a season now and if we can keep McClean, Phillips and Rodriguez playing like they did yesterday, I think we have the makings of a very good counter attacking side providing we strengthen in the middle, because and with no disrespect to either Field or Harper who both did well yesterday, we clearly have money in the kitty to sign a real top quality box to box and that's something we're really missing.
The only negatives yesterday would have been how we only managed to score just the one goal in that game, and Rondon's reaction to not starting and heading straight down the tunnel at full time instead of coming over to the fans like the rest did. I'd be wary about reading to much into that as I don't think he's going anywhere, just clearly annoyed to not have started in the game.
Also I think the attendance yesterday was decent considering the doom and gloom in pre season etc. Was a very positive atmosphere and am now very much looking forward to Burnley away next week.
COYB!
Indeed. Megson prowling the touchline, balling his head off. A nice 1-0. Like it's 2002 all over again
