Kevin's call for courage
 |
| Kevin Bond |
BOSS Kevin Bond admitted Cherries had lacked punch as they succumbed to a first League Two defeat of the season.
Ryan Harley bagged the only goal of a sterile affair as Cherries went down 1-0 at the hands of newly-promoted Exeter City on Saturday.
Bond told the Daily Echo: "It wasn't ideal having to make three changes because we had to change the shape and the personnel.
"Given what we've got and knowing they can pass the ball around, I went with a formation that I thought worked well for us in the first half.
"We had good possession in the final third but either our final ball or a little bit of guile were missing and nothing broke for us.
"I wasn't unhappy with the first half but, in the second, I thought we played too many long balls instead of trying to mix it up. I suppose you are more inclined to do that when you go a goal behind so that was a problem as well.
"They looked a bit edgy at times and didn't play with the freedom I'd like them to play with. But you have to be strong. Courage comes in many forms and I think you have to be prepared to play and we didn't play enough at times. We just lumped it in the end.
"I thought it was an horrendous decision not to give us a free kick for a high tackle on Danny Hollands in the lead-up to the goal. Then, it looked like they found the net too easily."
Meanwhile, defender Scott Guyett limped off after 57 minutes with a hamstring injury and could be a doubt for Cherries' trip to Port Vale.

I am afraid the players I saw out there Saturday seemed to thing the -17 points are going to somehow magically disappear on their own. If there ever was an incentive for a team to fight fight fight surely this is it? Its just not happening and the coaching staff need to find out why and soon.

I agree that now is the time for People at this Club to show some real courage.
Something that has been sadly lacking for a long time.Mr Baker must now have the courage to ask himself does he want to make his mark on the future of this Club and back them with real support or does he want to bluff and bullshit his way through while taking the Club further and further into trouble like his predessesor. Is he going to show the courage to make changes of frankly a Management Team that most people have lost confidence in. Or is (if the rumours are true) going to sell up) You saved this Club but it wont count for anything if we lose our League status. Now is the time to rid the Club of the threats to that status. Pay off Mostyn and get a decent Manager in. Or let someone in who will.

Funny I thought the horrendous decision was to play Danny when clearly not ready and risk further injury and leave your latest Goalscorer on the bench with no forwards on the pitch.

Didn`t take long for Bond`s knockers to appear. Give the man a chance , he`s got a Director of Football to help or hinder him ? It`s early days and i certainly do not want Jimmy Quinn to replace him. The whole club is in a mess unless of course the 20/20 cricket today makes us thousands of pounds.

Rob how many chances is Bond going to have? this all sounds like 12 months ago and that didn't work out too well did it. Fact is whatever the reason it's just not working with Bond as the manager, for whatever reason we get too many injuries, the players are not giving their best and they are negative when they should be going out to win. I am certain the players we have are better than they are playing under Bond. Bond may well be a decent coach, a nice guy or even have success in the future and good luck to him but for some reason he just isn't working out at AFC Bournemouth.

Rob, I guess you weren't at the match on Saturday to witness the most abject spectacle I have seen for a considerable number of years. If anyone can PLEASE explain why a lone striker should be part of a formation that is expected to score goals, I'd really like to know. With the -17, we should be hitting the ground running. Draws and losses (particularly at home) are absolutely NO use to close the gap. Four games in total and still not a win. I'd rather see a win and lose than two draws, at least we will have made up one point!

Facts are we have the wrong players and the wrong formation, not to mention the wrong attitude as admitted by Bond himself, that is all I need to hear from the manager to make my mind up about him, he's given up already so what can we expect from the players. IMHO.

I would have much rather read a report from Bond saying he got it all wrong sorry about that I will look at what I did wrong and what we did wrong and will do our best to get it right, then I might have more confidence in him.

Bond said: "I wasn't unhappy with the first half but, in the second, I thought we played too many long balls instead of trying to mix it up."
What are you talking about Bond? You cannot blame the players for that, we have been playing the long ball ever since you took over! There are far too many balls over the top - particularly into the corners which we have next to no hope of getting to. And when we do, the rest of the team are too deep to offer any kind of support. Surely this is basic stuff for a professional football manager? We don't seem to have a game plan - even though the team allegedly train 4-5 days a week!
With the exception of Anderton (& arguably Cooper - although he seems to think we play in any colour other than red!) we don't have any passing players. Added to that our forwards play better with the ball to feet rather than over the top, I think the supporters are right to criticise Bond - he's into his 3rd season now and there is no identity to his team nor any indication of what his intentions are with regard to team formation or tactics!

whilst the club needs stability it is difficult to find a defence for a manager who persists in playing one up front at home something he has tried many times before without success, and is desperate he has to play a player who clearly is not ready in terms of fitness, I am sorry Mr Bond the excuses have to stop, the players you are now bringing in to the club I have my doubts that you have ever watched them play, you are guilty of making the same errors as last season

Please enlighten me, all you 4* coaches, what would you do with the same players?
Some of those that played Saturday could not trap a ball to save thier life and others think by running round like a headless chicken endears you to the fans. Get real I see a lot of the players are at the level they deserve. And so are we.

The club is no position to pay off anyone's contract so we're stuck with Bond for now.
The simple fact is that we have played two promoted sides in a row and we [bold]had[/bold] to get 6 points from those games, we got one. That's relegation form even at this early stage of the season.
We cannot rely on some miraculous run at the end of the season again.

We were told of a bright new future for the club and that money was available.
Come on Baker if you have it (as promissed) either pay off Bond's contract and get some new signings in (not loan) before the window closes.
As said in a well known Tom Cruise movie "SHOW ME THE MONEY"

Actually I think you are wrong anyway - I think we have, for the most part, players with the ability to play well, but they lack ideas and beleif - both of which MUST come from the management team! Unfortunately we are now in now in danger of a free fall - supporters are critising players ability and performances which will inevitably affect their confidence! We are in real trouble!

I said it before Bond has had three starts under three owners, each time the record speaks for itself, the board are not to blame this time how can they be, if they do nothing then sure we can point the finger but the way we played and the results have to lay at the feet of the manager. Bonds record in each of the 3 starts he has had a dismal to say the least, each time it has taken 20 games to get it anything near right, can we afford that this season? that's what you have to think about not have the board got money to do anything about it, we have players who were good enough at the end of last season in league one, there is no reason they should drop a league and perform as they are unless they are uninspired or are playing to the wrong system, and who is responsible for that?

Of course there would be a flood of applicants for the job.

I agree. I dont think Ferguson is out of contract with Man Utd anytime soon. Of course there would be a flood of applicants for the job.

I support the team 110% but sometimes people just don't fit. Bond has 3 starts as I have said before how many more chances is he going to have, as for the long season, if we carry on like we did the start of last season which looking at Bond's record is possible then we will be staring down not up, so you choose, keep the club up by change or keep the club up with Bond's record that's the choice.

You might have remembered me saying a few months ago that the name Bond will always be associated with the ruin of a great club. His father bought us some good times, but put us well in the red, and his son is going to put us into the Southern League, so he has to go before it is too late, if it is not already. There must be lots of better young managers out there dying for a chance like managing AFCB, and we are stuck with a losing donkey. Next my Exeter supporting neighbour has been taking the P all weekend, and I want compensation !!!!
