Pre-Match View From Bournemouth — The View From

"We have just 2 pts fewer than 2017/18 when we were 10th. 2 pts more this time only puts us 15th. We've won more games than Arsenal (10th), who've lost the same as Man City (2nd). Sheff Utd (6th) have scored 1 more goal. Chelsea (4th) have conceded just 4 fewer Funny old game""Weather for

Great phrase “But the PL circus meat grinder will knock them down and around in time.”

Cheers Roy.

“Another us v Sheff Utd fact is that despite only playing 15 league matches against them, we have played them in all four tiers.”

They seem to be quite confident really after a poor season and up beat, surprised really

 

[Jon Bon II]

6th

My highest so far.

[tomtheblade]

Thirst!

*for a pint

 

[Cappy]

That was all a bit tame. I guess the juicy stuff comes after we beat them in their off day via VAR and clogging it to victory.

Cheers Roy.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Thanks Roy

This game might not even go ahead

Cheers Royston.
Really looking forward to seeing how Sander plays at home, and how he affects the playing style. We will be favourites but Cherries are very capable on their day. Will Richie get a place on the bench I wonder ?

That was the one that jumped out at me and I think that this will sadly be true however better being mid table here than in any of the other leagues.

 

[Houston_Blade]

They seem a confident bunch.

The way to win this game is to get at them from the off, they are confident after a couple of results so knock the stuffing out of them early. I fear another slow start and improvement at half time though, if so then we might be 1-0 down before we start playing properly.

 

[Tom Bott]

Brooksy still injured ?

Cheers Roy.

 

[Rusty view]

All a bit muh.

Good point re not being clinical enough. Blades Analytics posted something on twitter midweek , showing we create some of the best chances in the division (XG), but the conversion is pretty poor.

Even the Palace game, I was watching at home, and the 2nd half we had several chances to kill the game off (didn't need to in the end, but the point still stands)

“Could work in our favour now we have started to go more direct, can turn the game into a scrap.”


All they did in that first game was hit it long for the strikers so god knows how they can be more direct than that!!

They'll revert to type away though. Generally try to keep it tight and spring attacks on the break. Think they've only picked up 4 points from their last 10 away games.

“I’d bank anything on team v Sheff United being unchanged other than Steve Cook in for Lerma and a switch to 343. Eddie normally likes to match opponents up when they play 3 at the back.”

Unchanged apart from the two changes then?

 

[BLADES1988]

"LEE" MOUSSET haha

 

[S64 Blade]

“If we can get an early goal, this could really open up for us.”

Liverpool got an early goal and went on to win 2-0. The best team in the World at the moment.

Very disappointing that it took someone on another forum to point this out. Some of you need to buck your ideas up...

And not a single mention of that weird game the last time Bournemouth played at Bramall Lane,which they lost 5-3.

 

[Carlton Blade]

I'm always interested in what their fans have to say because they are so similar to us. Strong lower division core and a hardworking style. They are better going forward (before this year at least) and we are better defensively. I think Wilder has been fairly open in his admiration of Howe and Bournemouth in general.

What's happened to them, with a lot of big money signings going wrong has to be a warning. Nothing is guaranteed.

 

[BLADES1988]

No mention of cold windy rainy its grim up norf physical cloggy bingo?

 

[Harry's Game]

They seem really underwhelmed about this fixture really.

 

[OldBillBlade]

Well done Roy. Especially on getting an account from everyone of their fans!!!
