Bournemouth team and score predictions

[Former Labour leader]

At the back I dont see MM making any changes, although I think Bagan could do with a rest. Perhaps Sang or Brown might come in there.
Midfield, we have no real options but Pack and Vaulks.
Up top Bacuna will start with Moore and Harris

Unless we shore up midfield I can see Bournemouth running away with it.
0-3

Normally quite optimistic when it comes to the City. Can’t see us winning today, not against these.
Draw.

There wont be a melt down .

Everyone will remember losing to Scunthorpe in 1978 0-4 and think how joyous a position we in now.

Re: Bournemouth team and score predictions

We need a change of shape. This 5-2-2-1 thing isn't working. The two '10's' aren't seeing any ball because our defence and CM just hook it into emtpy channels and the wing backs aren't comfortable playing high so there's zero width. I'd like to see Evans given a chance as he plays wider than Colwill/Bowen and has a trick/pace that is sorely missing inthe front line with no Giles.

I doubt Mick will change much though. 0-2.

Re: Bournemouth team and score predictions

I think a draw would be a decent result.

Re: Bournemouth team and score predictions

Playing 3 at the back is supposed to safeguard from the lack of pace we have at CB, however we have been caught out numerous times this season with one pass completely splitting the defence. My worry is more of the same today playing this Bournemouth side.

Morrison/Flint/Nelson have to be positionally spot on today, otherwise it could be a long afternoon. If Bagan and Ng play, they will need a lot of cover when going forward too. Bournemouth will be looking to exploit those spaces with the likes of Brooks. I think we'll need Vaulks in midfield for his energy to plug the gaps and I actually thought his delivery of set pieces was decent against Forest, again that is going to be our main threat (as ever) today.

On paper I can't see us winning today, but would be happy with a point, 1-1.

Re: Bournemouth team and score predictions

I think we will see Colwill and Harris dropped for Bowen and Collins
0-0

Re: Bournemouth team and score predictions

My heart says 2-1 to us.
My head, and Super 6 entry, says 1-2

Expecting a thumping, so I’ll go 1-0 to City

3-1 City. Flint, morrison and a 30 yarder from vaulks

This is so true. I am so pessimistic that City will undoubtedly win.
