Hope I'm wrong but the writing is already been put on the wall against one of the teams we would have been looking to take points from.

- Reid looked weak up front, doesn't seem to catch up with the ball unless it's passed to him.
- Mendez-Laing looked like he belonged in the Champ again, not enough effort.
- Murphy had impact straight away, should really be starting I think.
Disappointed obviously but interested to see how the next few games go before we go back to back with big teams. I just think we need more clinical striking and strength up front to make the most of the chances we were throwing in.

Correct - the point I have been making for some time - my question is where is it going to come from!!?

Hard to say! Zohore could maybe have done something, but Madine doesn't make for an inspiring replacement up front really. Excited to see Camarasa and Arter playing in the next few weeks at least, think we stand a chance at home v Newcastle!

Correct me if I'm wrong and I'm sure you will but first game for Bournemouth too wasn't it?
All you keep calm merchants will still be saying keep calm come next May along with all those people over the years who said their team was too good to go down until it happened.
We saw this scenario last time we were promoted when we lacked the striker we needed with proven EPL track record of scoring 10-12 goals a season. Yes we have some exciting wide men but we only looked a real threat from big defenders at set pieces and how long do you think it will take EPL coaches to nullify that threat? I have made this very same point throughout the summer on this forum and stated money must be ringfenced for a striker - only to be criticised and told to "keep calm" and see what happened in the transfer window and here we are - other than a last minute too late dive to try and get Ings!!
Yes - I agree with your clarifying statement that we did have 3 recognised strikers on the field and yes if Zohore wasn't injured we would have had 4 - but tell me how many of the 4 have done it in the EPL?
I hope I'm wrong but I suggest time will prove me right AGAIN that this will be a very tough and difficult to enjoy season - let's wait and see whose right shall we instead of being critical of other people's opinions - remember without opinions and debate football would be of very little interest.
