About to find out which boys can play at the Vitality Stadium on a cold, rainy and windy Wednesday night.
I love seeing our youngsters in action but I think we will go strong
What’s with the new account @mattyhurst ?
I’m sure that Jürgen and his team will know the formation tactics and personnel to see us through this game. COYR YNWA
Fixed
I think we’ll see a mix. The best way for youngsters to get the experience is by playing with experienced first team players.
Bournemouth team news by WhoScored:
- The hosts could be without as many as seven players for the visit of Liverpool on Wednesday night.
- Lewis Cook will serve the second of a three-match suspension, while Max Aarons was forced off through injury in Saturday’s win over Burnley, and is a doubt here.
Amber weather warning for wind in Bournemouth tomorrow evening.
90mph winds forecast. My missus’ work are closing their office from 6pm tomorrow, and all day Thursday - but her work’s exposed at the top of a hill.
Unless the vitality stadiums roof cladding is at risk of blowing off, I’d expect the match to go as planned. The flight landing at Bournemouth might be a bit turbulent.
What are the odds on Jurgen making a comment about the wind/rain/weather tomorrow post game, especially if we lose.
Like this?
Doak back in training as of yesterday and Pep confirms will be part of the squad tomorrow. Happy days.
To be honest the way Bournemouth play there isn’t much an excuse as they don’t play hoofball
Let’s hope the Premier league, or whoever it is, takes extra balls to the match. With the predicted high winds and Bournemouth’s tiny stands it might be that most goal kicks end up in Poole Harbour…
Boscombe beach perhaps, Poole Harbour is miles away
I remember after one very strong storm in Scotland there was a traffic report the next day where the reporter said that the M8 motorway was particularly busy as Glaswegians went to Edinburgh to recover their wheelie bins.
Anyway… I expect this will go ahead, and I’d like a neat and tidy win with no injuries. I think he’ll start with Gakpo for this one up top.
Line up predictions look pretty spot on to me. Because Bournemouth have Man City away, I think they will give it a proper go in this match and sacrifice the weekend one since they dont have a hope…
They are currently 1 point above the relegation zone, so points in the league will be more important for Bournemouth than a cup run unless they were to go on and win the cup, but that would be pretty unlikely.
They might well look at the City game and think they have no chance but staying in the league would hae to be a higher priority for them than a run in the least important of the trophies available especially if they aren’t a genuine chance of winning it
Not sure the owners of Bournemouth will agree with sacrificing the throwing away of PL points quite so easily… Yet their home crowd will want a strong side playing tonight, in the hope of beating us
It’s sickening how so-called “supporters” don’t even want their team to try.
