AFC Bournemouth v Preston

Dreadful half.
parker hasn’t gotten a lot wrong thus far but the decision to play Mepham at left back makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. The majority of our game is based on trying to create opportunities on the flanks and having no overlapping option on the left essentially means we have no threat on that side. Shocking decision. Lowe has been poor but he’s had zero support. Lerma offers no creativity at all despite being very good at what he does. This team is simply very very unlikely going to be able to break down a low block. You can’t play a midfield with no creativity and only one attacking full back and expect to have any chance of breaking down eleven men behind the ball.

We just need anyone to play the overlapping left back role. Surely Brady had got 45 in him.

Mepham in the strange position of not having put a foot wrong but ruining the team.

Very reminiscent of the Peterborough and Hull games…

I’d get Anthony on to at least have some of our successful left on, Lowe to right and put Christie into the 8 role. Need creation and that’s not Jeffs thing particularly as we lack Kilkennys creation when Pearson plays.

Spot on
 
Really missing Zemura's runs and overlapping ability. Meps seems a bit stiff and one dimensional ?
 
Now there’s a thing. Why wasn’t Lowe allowed back on the pitch as he received attention for his injury off the pitch. Oh and now they’ve scored. Ugh
 
Well bollox. We need to change something now. This has not looked in any way slick and now they're going to sit back even more and wait for us to do something.
