URZZZZ Stranded URZZZZ
It’s certainly an interesting case which will be talked about but not sure you can conclude that as there was still 45 minutes left of that game (I.e anything could have still happened in that game)
Failing to beat Norwich at home and only getting 1 pt from 2 games v Watford did for them more.
Yeah, they started the season on fire IIRC
Think they were 3rd after their win at Southampton, albeit being late September
Losing at home to Newcastle and Palace and in doing so making these two very moderate sides look like top 6 teams didn't help their season.
Very big spenders in the transfer market but with so few successes.
When it was nearly all over and before the season really got going Bournemouth played decent attacking football but for most of the season have been dire, relying on set pieces and long throws to become a poor man's Wimbledon.
I fully expect a managerial change with the current manager having become too comfortable but stale.
It will be interesting to see how many players they will hang on to-Callum Wilson, Josh King and Nathan Ake look most likely to leave as well as possibly David Brooks.
Without these players they might be looking at a lengthy stay out of the Premier League and if the Russian owner with deep pockets pulls out they could slip further down the football pyramid.
In the meantime I am hoping that we don't get to play them behind closed doors.
