looked good going forward and passed the ball well....

Thought they were excellent, really good. Good to see what a young progressive managed can do, really hope they go up.

Kevin, when they go forward they are the best in the Championship, We did well against them

Definitely the best team I've seen down here , how football should be played (I missed the Brentford home game due to work over xmas ,heard they were good)

Up until the goal we couldn't get near them, they pressed high, give their strikers plenty of service and their movement was really good, I said to my buddy
'f**k me these are good we can get near them'
His reply was
'They play like they don't give a f**k for us, no fear at all'
I thought that was a fair assessment, thank god/slade we settled into the game shortly after, whatever instructions were passed on to the field seemed to Stop them looking so frightening after the goal.
So we'll done to Slade.

Really good freeflowing football side that Howe has built, I'd like to see them in the Prem as I think with a few additions they could do a Southampton.
They have been consistent all season, I believe they will finish in 2nd place.

pissed me off even more yesterday watching them. The way they played in between our static lines is how the game has developed. It must have been like "rope a dope" for Eddie Howe during the preparation.
Right they are going to set up with a target man and a runner, no wait 2 target men

so push up because they are soooo slow
Right Whitts and gunnar are in the middle, the rarely move so you don't need to track them as they never make runs in behind the slow strikers
The wingers are quite slow - Noone always cuts inside, let him shoot from distance as he is shit but even better let him cross it, as they are lucky if it even get inside the box !!! But, don't worry because jones will be walking just passed the half way line when the ball does arrive. The other winger haqsn't pace, but has good vision and a decent cross as Slade hasn't ruined him yet..
The back 4 are just that.....all back

After watching them 3 times this season I agree that they are the best team in the league, would be great for football if they went up in my opinion and would give lower league teams belief that anyone can do it

They were excellent but Boro were excellent also

After 10 minutes I said to those around me that I wouldn't mind renewing my season ticket if I was watching these all season.
Did anyone else notice that for most of the first half they played with 3 at the back. Just shows they see Jones just like I do, slow and lazy.

Yep they were really good and we have improved as we just about matched them, I enjoyed that game more than most this season......

Come on!
The ONLY way we were anywhere near matching them over 90 minutes was in the final score.

Absolutely spot on. Agree with all that.

That scouting report is very accurate

Bmth concede a lot of goals from set_plays and they would of known it is something we are really good at. Might cost them a chance of promotion that weakness

Yes, I agree. Sometimes you have to give it up for the small provincial sides, such as Wimbledon and Swansea
Bournemouth could join that small band of "little clubs" that have overachieved (given their relative size and support base) yet made a go of it against the odds!
