I actually wanted Bournemouth to win at a reasonable canter, pretty much securing the autos (if Forest had also lost) and leaving them a bit complacent against us. Coming back from 3-0 down with 20 minutes left on the other hand, that's the sort of thing that builds momentum. Not a good omen, especially when we seem to love conceding a late goal. Looking on the time on their game, is it the same officials we had against Cov?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure.. the pressure will actually be more on them, with their spending they almost have to go up... they could be jittery and a draw tonight (back from the brink) might seem great, however once they see Forest's result they may not be buzzing so much Edited April 26, 2022 by Gavrover 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they bring a paltry 300 or so away fans too. Will they be rattled after a pasting off Swansea? Or will we see a backlash... They've sold out the allocation we gave them,they're bringing 1900 up to Ewood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom Silas Posted April 26, 2022 Backroom Share Posted April 26, 2022 On 14/03/2022 at 14:50, Silas said: This lot are going to keep us torturously hanging on for a while yet, I reckon Bournemouth, the penultimate game of season, is when all hope will finally be extinguished. Guessed at it 6 weeks ago, and it's looking a fair shout. Shame the predictions I actually have money on never come so close. Would love to take it to final game of season, but can't see it happening. I think we'll play all right for once, and give a good account of ourselves. But it will all end up for nought. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim mk2 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Kieffer Moore, back from injury after signing in January, made the difference for fourth division Bournemouth. That's the value of their investment and spending some decent money, players like that rescue points and win matches. Contrast to our lack of activity in the window - a couple of good forwards to replace the injured Brereton and the ineffective Gallagher could have saved our season 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a very good chance of automatic promotion so I'm not surprised tbh. Could be party time for them. That said 1900,if I was a Bournemouth supporter l would be tad disappointed we were not allocated more tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) I imagine they won’t send more small batches at this stage, so presumably they’ll let them pay on the day. They can’t go up now on Saturday, so I doubt there will be a stampede to the away ticket office… Edited April 26, 2022 by Mattyblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night Forest were without the injured Grabban and Davis but had a recognised striker to call in. I'm not even saying he's that good but is a 'presence'. Those 3 points his winner earned repayed in full whatever he cost. No problem though ... we don't play strikers .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displaced Rover Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Irrespective of them bringing 1900 (not that many anyway), they’re still a tinpot club that don’t belong in the Championship, let alone the Premier League. Regardless of how things go for Sheffield United I hope we batter this lot. Edited April 27, 2022 by Displaced Rover 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upside Down Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 It's a bit game and we need a win. Mowbray will totally fuck this up. Once again he will totally bottle it and set up the team to fail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gav Posted April 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2022 Its surprising to read the snobbery on this page aimed at Bournemouth, a club we should be looking to emulate, a club saved by fan ownership after years of mismanagement, now punching above its weight and potentially heading back to the big time. I recall the premierships big hitters saying we didn't deserve to be in top league, Wigan neither or Bolton because we got crap gates, its was bullshit then and in Bournemouth's case its bullshit now. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) They may have started as a bit of a fairytale under Howe, but they aren’t ‘punching above their weight’ anymore as they are bankrolled by an oligarch and further financially doped by parachute payments. They’ve numerous players on between £40k and £60k a week… Edited April 27, 2022 by Mattyblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miker Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Last home game of the season. If the boys can’t put a shift in for this one and win then we certainly don’t deserve to be in the playoffs, much less win them. Bournemouth have a massive game against Forest 3 days later, so I’m hoping their heads aren’t in it for the game with us. If anything it’s an exciting end to the Championship season, with everything still to play for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just shown you this goes further back than 2009, they almost went to the wall in 1997 but were saved by the fans, I'm sure you see that.

Mattyblue Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) It pretty much does in the lower leagues if you run a club properly and blow rivals out of the water on wages… (As you keep emphasising, by the way, re BRFC not being able to compete with such clubs).
