Boiler Repair Man had us sussed from the start. We like to play out from the back and all they had to do was to press high and force us into mistakes. Billing intercepted a Turton pass early on and the ball dropped for Solanke, who shot straight at Nicholls.
And that set the tone. We didn't learn. They pressed better than us and when we did press high, they just passed right through us and the ball was in the net.
The second goal was a calamity. I haven't seen the playback of it but it looked like two players left it for each other and the Bournemouth lad shot past a stranded Nicholls.
The third, excellent play from Billing, a neat back flick. 3-0.
Why were people booing Billing? Why did Town fans not like him? It was obvious his problem was with Siewert and not the club. The way some fans reacted to him was strange. But that's football for you. Personally, I'm glad to see him playing so well. He's one of ours. Once a Terrier, always a Terrier.
So what did Carlos get wrong today? He said afterwards that they were better than us and it's up to him to make us better. Well, I think they are just one of those teams that we just can't play against. One of those bogey teams. The fact that Peterborough and Reading have taken points off them recently shows that they aren't all that good. But they just seem to be able to play better against us.
We managed to work Fulham out eventually. Maybe one day, we will work Bournemouth out.
