Difficult to describe how I feel after that. For an hour or so it was an exceptional away day. Noisy, boisterous away following (regardless of the score it was a privilege to be in your presence, loud, proud and 100% behind Andoni and the lads). Boscombe playing beautiful football, almost a "peak Eddie" performance but we only took the one chance. Our subs, for a change, didn't improve us, Luton 's did. It was Andoni 's game plan but in reverse. I also don't think we should underestimate Luton 's situation and desire to win. Once we couldn't match that, they took over.
Fair play to Luton, a squad short of Premier League pedigree but a "band of brothers" attitude. They are a group of hardworking triers, playing as well as a team, as they can, not resorting to physical power. Credit to their manager for that.
From my Bournemouth viewpoint, the ref didn't have a great match but I am biased.
Subdued Riverside Rocket on the way down the Motorway. As mentioned, away support was great today, last visit we were to the side. This time we were in front of them, brilliant noise : )
Saw and spoke to various dignitaries of this parish. AFCBade, In all departments, Erik the Viking and Ken Bailys Ghost. Also recognized loads of people, it's always good to be part of the Boscombe Massive : )
Whilst writing this I think I feel, celebrate the first hour, we're good enough to play that well. The last half hour happened and I can't change that. First away day for 5 weeks, can't always get the results you want but we're enjoying the rest of the day. It's great to be "back amongst it all" again
