Glennon really struggling but Stephens is even worse.
Forwards have no chance at the moment. No service at all.
Let's hope that HT team talk works again.

I’m another hugely saddened by 9 changes. Having got to the 5th round we are only 2 wins from an appearance at Wembley.

Just can't stomach Dycheball in these sorts of games. How on earth he can stand on the touchline and enjoy this horrible football is beyond me.

They are passing the ball.
We are just knocking aimless balls.
We are crying out for someone to grab the game by the scruff of the neck, but none of them seem capable.

Don’t know why anyone is surprised. We play c**p football with the first 11, what do you think the group of players not good enough to play are going to be like.
This is all down to the tactics and told how to play. Boring negative football.
And for the love of god someone tell that Karen to do everyone a favour and SHUT UP!

Shame with Glennon this, he’s looked class in his sub cameos in both cups so far (although, I note, in each of those I think he came on at left wing rather than left back). Really struggling tonight.

Glennon and Stephens shocking. Stephens reminds me of 4th Division days when we signed players that we knew were past it. Should be put out to pasture. Dreadful half.

We need a big reaction to that dross second half.
If we don't get it we deserve to go out, and those players on the pitch deserve a rollicking.
Nowhere near good enough.

Benson and Gudmundsson utterly anonymous.
Stephens has pulled up no trees but has at least shown for the ball. I’d argue he’s been involved more than any other in terms of touches.
Needs Westwood on with him - he’s playing against three almost on his own in there.
Re: MIGHTY CLARETS versus Bournemouth
Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2021 6:20 pm
Stephens defending is not intelligent.
Whole team needs a boost.
Glennon at LB is a struggle.
We can still win. Just a bit of craft.

Couldn't for the life of me understand why Dyche was so keen on signing Stephens the first time around and was relieved he didn't manage it. And now he's here .... jeez. How did he blag his way into being a professional footballer ? So disappointed was he that he didn't tuck that header away he tried to make up for it by bringing their striker down to give them a penalty.

When we rely on a BT reporter to point out one of our players is banned - you can see that somebody at the club isn’t pulling their finger out. They’re probably in charge of the fax machine too.
Re: MIGHTY CLARETS versus Bournemouth
Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2021 6:24 pm
I've no issues with us making changes, particularly because keeping our strongest XI fit and getting them out in the league is of paramount importance, but our back ups are definitely very sub standard. Glennon is only young and lacks experience abd I'll cut him some slack, but he's being given the run around big time down that side and Stephens can't live with Billing and was at fault for the goal as he gave the ball away to him on the touchline. Very disjointed and getting nothing as it stands.
Re: MIGHTY CLARETS versus Bournemouth
Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2021 6:24 pm
I know it's about opinions but for me there are plenty having a poorer game than Stphens. Front two have been abysmal.
