  • Looks Iike we snatched victory from the jaws of Anthony Taylor.

  • One of the useful things about these forums is the opportunity to vent. I’ve vented many a time about players , coaches , tactics etc.  Sometimes perhaps prematurely. And I can flip flop with the best

    Unfortunately, Kepa can't play for them!

We absolutely should have enough to beat them and anything other than a win would cause a bit of concern after the Palace result, but matches after an international break are never straightforward.

Hopefully, both James and Lavia are back for this, it would be a massive lift and fingers crossed for no new injuries after the international matches.

August?🤔

On the positive side, we have a pretty good statistics playing at their ground.

In the summer of 1977 I went to the coastal city on a 2 weeks language school type of holiday. And while I was there I visited their football ground, then called Dean Court. But to my disappointment the turf was overgrown, worse than my own backyard 😁 (They were playing in Div 4 at that period but I don't think this was a good excuse to have the turf overgrown).

As far as I remember Bournemouth was a nice city, and Poole also nice.

Lovely place to retire to!

I remember a 4-0 whipping, not too many years ago - midweek game as we nearly didn’t make it down there and walked in just as it kicked-off. Should have known the signs and just turned around.

Not as nice as it was when I lived 12 miles to the north as a lad. In fact, it’s getting a bit rough these days. South coast from there to Lymington has more funeral parlours than anywhere else I’ve been. You can keep it. Glad I left.

"When I were a lad "..have this vague recall of reading somewhere that Bournemouth had the best looking girls in the country...where and why I read it is too far back to remember .

Perhaps that's where The Cherries nick name originated?

...my only other two visits ...a stop off en route by coach to somewhere further west and a trip down from Hampshire to catch a Tom Paxton concert sometime in the 80's.

Added..funny how the mind works!,,a memory of the stop off ..a boat on the beach named "Angela"...must have been '65 !..Lord I feel OG writing that!

I’ll support that - there were some right good lookers in Bournemouth. Not so many Cherries though - they got lost quickly … my birthday today, further confirming me as an OG , so I claim the right to reminisce.

We don’t have a right back, which means 90 minutes of Disasi being targeted.

Happy birthday @Blue Moon

Have a good one. 

Kepa is going to put in a MOTM.

 

Edit: OR NOT! Ok I changed my vote.

As they say: "Dover for the Continent, Bournemouth for the incontinent."

Lived near there for ten years and never heard that. Brilliant, and totally applicable!

He can't play against us. 

We're very likely to concede regardless of XI so be bold, brave and stupid and go with 5 up front:

Jackson

Neto, Palmer, Felix, Madueke

Caicedo

Cucu, Colwil, Fofana, Disasi (Gusto if fit)

Sanchez

A 4-4 draw - what fun!

Not 100% sure he always played for us

I would start Nkunku for this one seeing as he has no international call up. The other players will return knackered from their call ups

Edited by Miguelito07

At this point in time, given our injury issues I’d go with;

                          Sanchez

Caicedo Fofana Colwill Cucurella

                             Lavia

Madueke KDH Palmer Nkunku

                            Jackson

Cucu to tuck in at LCB and Caicedo to play the inverted RB/DM role. I would probably do this even if James is available. Fofana over Disasi only for the partnership. I prefer Disasi every day of the week but it would be too much to draft in both Caicedo and Disasi.
