3 goals, it's been a while. Overjoyed to see a win again. Credit to the players today, they wanted it. Created loads of chances yet again but more importantly actually converted 3 of them to give us the deserved victory. Results went quite favourably for us today too.

Let’s not get too carried away we should have scored 6 but only scored 3 bmouth are probably the worst team I have seen for a long time. Dyche still picked young and guye so he will never learn. In the final 20 mins he should have experimented with the front 3 and made different changes which just confirms to me that he doesn’t have a scooby doo .

At62 agree regards the selection of young and gueye - they should be back ups not starters.
Don’t agree with changing the subs near the end though - the confidence of team is fragile at the moment and we needed to see out the game. If he’d experimented and we’d conceded would have made for a nervy finish.

Whilst I am not overly fussed as 3 pts is always the most important thing, At62 makes a great point and it is something I was thinking at the 75/ 80 minute mark.
If any team is to concede 3 goals at home in the final stages of game then it is Everton but Bournemouth never looked like doing that.
We head into an international break now and there were players there that could have come on with a point to prove and under no pressure.
When Patt came on, we kept Young on the pitch. Young Dobbin should have been given a cameo. Chermitti should have been given more than a couple of minutes. Not only would this give the young lads some much needed experience but imagine if they actually managed to create or score a goal, their confidence would be through the roof.
Everyone knows that SD seems to be sh** scared to make any changes and it proved to be the case again, even at 3 up. let's face it, we started with our strongest midfield pairing today and even that was forced on him due to Gana's injury.
I haven't listened to SD's post match press conference yet as I know it will have the same sound bites as normal but with an arrogant twist "We knew this was coming". "We're changing the story". "It's the small margins".
I've not been one calling for his head yet as I think there are many things he instills off the pitch that are good for us at the minute. I also think that he has had absolute fodder to choose from before this transfer window and always thought with the squad fit and everyone available we would have more than enough to stay in this league. That being said, I firmly understand the other side and people realising that the man is limited tactically and is stubborn and inflexible.
Either way, 3 pts on the board going into a very tough run of fixtures. I think playing teams that will have a pop at us will play to our strengths as opposed to teams that sit back and force us to try and break them down.
Up the toffees. Enjoy the time off lads.

Let's not carried away but let's not continue to vilify the manager for any reason we can too! Take the three points and decent performance and just bloody enjoy it for what it is .

Here here blue potato. Quite a lot of wouldo couldo shouldo. Can't be arsed to bore the life out of analysing a win. We won 3 0 and it was decent enough to watch. onwards and upwards.

Well I’ve heard that saying a few times this season “onwards and upwards”. Can only hope your right.

Beats some of the comments though Woburn mate.
