While an away point is not a poor result in any league, Jason Tindall was far from satisfied with the final result at Cardiff City as he expressed that Bournemouth were the dominant team. Dominating games is a good platform to have but what Tindall wants s momentum. The unbeaten record is nice to have, but the three points from wins means everything and too many draws will soon feel like AFCB are in a rut.
The league table reads well at the moment but the next game against Watford has become a big match to sort the pecking order near the top of the table. Bournemouth won't want to lose this game and they will have to find sharper finishing than in their last game. I would have thought an open game as they had against Cardiff would have suited the Bournemouth players to get the result but it didn't work out that way. While the players created some great moves, the team still managed to concede.
The 3-4-3 formation seems to help Bournemouth get forward well but it does leave gaps on both flanks in their own half and teams are exploiting that. Watford play the same way so it could be difficult to find as much space in today's game. Tindall really needs to find more of a settled team now as he develops his style of play and finds reliable performers. I've been impressed by the energy in the team and their desire to get forward. They are not starting games as quickly as they might but we are seeing strong second-half performances.
Tindall will have options against Watford but it's important he keeps faith with those who are doing well. There is not a great deal wrong with the team but it will be frustrating that they are not winning games like the Cardiff match. Tindall has to use that frustration to get the players to be more ruthless and try and not let teams off the hook when they have taken the lead.
