    IslandExile got a reaction from Adslegend in Wayne Rooney   
    Why would he give up the chance to build a managerial career for a mere stop gap position?
    Never mind that....
    The great thing in Rooney's full post match interview was when he said he didn't want the focus on himself but on Liam Thompson who was excellent on his debut.

    Anyone who says they change allegiance to a club surely isn’t being truthful. You just can’t, it’s in your make up, bad days, good days, underdogs, favourites etc etc.

    Lawrence - deserved headlines.
    Excellent from Thompson and Ebosele.
    Non stop from Knight.
    But, my oh my, unsung heroes in Davies and Shinnie.

    Excellent performance. He should be very proud of himself.
    Looked comfortable on the ball, rarely gave it away. Confident and justifiably so. Not out of place at all.

    Generous this from Louie,  when he's lost his place in the squad to him.
    I'm really pleased for young Liam, he's been playing great for the under 23s and fully deserved his start today. Workrate and heart was excellent. Never let his head drop.

    Totally unexpected but brilliant result.
    Was unsure about the formation throughout but delighted to see Liam Thompson in. Thought we'd get countered a lot with a flat back 4 & two full backs that attacking but it initially enabled us to play high up the pitch. Great finish from Knight for the goal & it didnt feel at all underserved.
    Obviously the equaliser was ridiculous & its high time we abandon this wierd Davies to Roos pass from goal kicks...I don't understand where the advantage is when the opposition have 3 players waiting to pounce. Theres little chance of playing it around them & we had Kazim on early as an outlet to go long. I'm also fast losing patience with Roos & his errors...cruel reality is he just hasnt developed into a reliable CH keeper despite plenty of chances. His spill late on nearly cost us the game too. 
    Bournemouth then grew in confidence & showed their class last 20 mins of the half & with their attacking outlets were always going to find joy against our back 4. Their second was entirely predictable st that stage & if Im honest, I didnt think we'd come back.
    Massive credit then to the team for that second half display. Firstly, Lawrence really stepped up with a wonderful equaliser & then took reaponsibility for the penalty...brilliant play from Buchanan & Shinnie to draw the foul. Had almost forgotten what a Derby penalty looked like!
    Great game management late on & real character to see it out. This is a group of players & a management team that are fighters and whatever off field humiliation we've had to suffer, they've done everything possible to put pride back into the shirt.
    Love the defiance, love the intensity. COYR

    You're right,  came over to dug out to tell Rooney to get sub ready. It wasn't tactical.

    Doesn’t matter which keeper you bring in. If you keep putting them under huge pressure with the ball at their feet, then they will all duck up regularly.

    Thought he looked promising in the preseason game at Notts County & was disappointed we couldnt see him (or Cashin) in the team because of the embargo.
    Really impressed with him today & easy to forget it was his full debut. Tenacious without the ball but brave to get on the ball & pick out his passes against a team that presses very well. Couple of neat bits of footwork too & technically very capable.
    Can see why Rooney rates him so highly. Well done young man & keep fighting for a regular place ?

    Excellent debut by someone who is so comfortable on the ball. Another gem unearthed. Well done Wassall and academy! From a very hoarse and proud ram!

    A very good and impressively mature performance. 
    Certainly didn't look out of place against top end championship players.
    He looks a very good prospect.

    I am really angry. ? Grrrr. Told you.
    We were in this game.
    Bad tactic, really poorly executed.
    Then we're out of it. Changes everything.
    Game over. Season over.
