CHERRIES once again lost ground on Championship leaders Fulham yesterday.
Scott Parker was not impressed with his players’ second-half display after Ryan Longman’s late goal condemned the Championship promotion-chasers to a 1-0 defeat at home to lowly Hull.
Longman struck 13 minutes from time after the hosts had been frustrated by a combination of missed chances and good goalkeeping from Hull’s Nathan Baxter.
The Dorset side are now eight points adrift of the Cottagers, who sealed a 3-2 win at Stoke City.
And Cherries fans have had their say on social media, following yesterday’s defeat.
#afcb. Next day thoughts. This slide has to stop NOW!. Confidence looks drained if we don't score early doors. And we should have had at least 3 by half time. A striker is needed before the window is shut. My choice..Rhys Healey from Toulouse.

Fans will put up with highly processed over coached football if it gets results they won’t though when it doesn’t. Time to become more natural and let the players weave some of their own patterns and get the ball forward quicker. The division had sussed us. #afcb

What's the solution?

Pearson adds much needed fight but doesn't solve our lack of creativity in the middle.
Lewis neat & tidy but again no end product or killer pass.
Emi more creative but isn't consistent.
We need a new signing. #afcb
Yes we were poor second half, yes we should’ve buried the game by the 45th minute, however, nobody at all is mentioning how dreadfully hull were stopping and starting the game with their play acting throughout the second 45. Completely embarrassing. #afcb

#afcb First half very good apart from not taking chances. Second half very poor and few chances created. I didn't enjoy it. MoM Jack Stacey, but Davis ran him close. Not sure where it's gone wrong but I'd appreciate it being fixed. There's always the FA Cup. Come on Boscombe!

What on earth did Parker say to them at half time?!

Absolutely trash. Everyone has to take a look at themselves. Look at our squad!!!! #afcb
