AFC Bournemouth manager Jason Tindall told Sky Sports after the game…
“I felt we weren’t at our best in the first half. We had a big moment early on with Dom Solanke’s chance after two minutes. And then I was disappointed to concede from a set-play but they (Derby) were better in the first half, hence why I made changes at the break.
“We huffed and puffed second half but we couldn’t break them down. We had a lot of the ball but just couldn’t force it. We weren’t good enough and didn’t ask enough questions of them. We didn’t take our chances when they came along. It’s one of those things we’re going through. We’re struggling to score goals. I still believe that we’ll score goals. We just need to ask more questions of the goalkeepers. It’s been a disappointing week to say the least, with just one point from nine, but it’s about how we bounce back now.”

Bright start for 8 minutes.
Dom should have scored…
Then nothing.
Passes going astray.
2nd to everything.
Brooks looking £40K not £40M.
Nobody at the races.
Deserved Derby goal.
Did that get a response?
No! Not in the slightest.
Half time shuffle.
What are we playing?
4-3-3, 4-2-4, 5-3-2. Can’t suss it.
Lewis Cook brilliant off the line clearance keeping us in it.
Lots of passing, but nothing that takes us to their 18-yard box.
The Wilshere return.
Kelly so nearly.
Steve Cook busted a gut, the rest, a busted flush.
2/10 performance.
Sadly the Tindall reign is mirroring Bradders tenure.
Started well, but when things go wrong, he seems powerless to change it.

So much talent out there but no teamwork or team spirit. No leaders on the pitch. Awful performance against a workmanlike Derby who just got stuck in and marked us up. Tindall on borrowed time. I would like a change now and give someone else a chance with half a season left.

Looked like we kept the 5 at the back after halftime. Near enough the same players as last season and we’re playing 10x worse against teams like Derby County. Tindall should be embarrassed, the majority of the players should be embarrassed.

Confidence shot and not looking like coming back. We know from experience that this doesn’t end well. By all accounts, there’s a financial black hole awaiting if they don’t go up so I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make a change.
I don’t subscribe to the view of many on here that we’ve never played well but at present, it looks like a mirror image of last seasons collapse in confidence.

BIG QUESTIONS tonight about Tindall and his whole management team. A talented squad looked unengaged, disorganised and directionless. Not even D- … this was an outright FAIL. – Join the conversation, click here.
