AFC Bournemouth v Aston Villa

This is who we are right now.

Only significant complaint that I am seeing from anyone above is Cook v. Franno, which hardly affects our offensive capabilities (in fact, it improves them a bit). We need to see Ryan make good on his words and show us some of last year's Wilson/Fraser tandem. What we really need to see is King back available.

Let's hear some big noise from the supporters. UTC.
We made big noise! Hope it came across on TV / radio? Second half especially when the players needed us most. Proverbial 12th man!
 
Not sure why Franno for Cook at CB, but credit to him, Franno barely put a foot wrong today.

Need to see the Lerma 2nd yellow incident again, but sounds like Taylor was conned with that one. No chance of VAR overturning it as it's not used for YC incidents.

Good to see the old AFCB back these last 2 PL games (bar the first 30 mins v Brighton). Keep that going and we should be safe enough..
Tell you what, Franno was immense today. Won every single header. Captain’s performance.
 
Every player and fan at least 9 out of 10 today. Amazing atmosphere, amazing performance.
 
The energy we've so badly been missing is back! Most of the team played well today but a special mention for Billing and Francis who were very good but my mom goes to Adam Smith.

Fair result today. They battered us in the first half, then incredibly dodgy refereeing gave us a man advantage for a third of the game.

Could have had a penalty, but we were nowhere near as hard done by as they were.

Reading many of their comments they are simply delusional. Most think we are a dirty side, feel the sending off was reasonable and a few think they should have had a pen. Classic, we are a big team with a big ground mentality, as demonstrated on 606 tonight. So sad.
