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

[19bluebirds27]

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

[Rjk]

0-3 followed by a monumental meltdown on here

[Jimmy the Jock]

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.

[198bore]

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.

[Seabird]

I think a draw would be a decent result.

[Sunnysideup]

Lol “Monumental Meltdown”
No truer word spoken Rjk 😂
Being a glass half full type of guy I’m going there as a realist with my fingers crossed
It’s a huge ask against an in form team
City 2-1 😂😂😂👍

[Hilts]

0-3.

But I remember being hammered in the rain by Hereford so its all good.🤣

[Hometown Unicorn!]

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.

[2b2bdoo]

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

[xsnaggle]

Whereas MM's match day thread? Is he OK?

[bobh]

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

[Des Parrot]

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

[chrisp_1927]

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

[Dave Blue]

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

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

[WJ99mobile]

Bournemouth at 2.5 in the betting is price of the weekend

Unless they collapse at the set pieces we won’t lay a glove on them

[WJ99mobile]

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

It does often go that way 😂

[dembethewarrior]

0-4 if they get going.

Probably end up only losing by 2 as well grind them down with our turgid football

[ToTaL ITK]

You wouldn’t. You were supporting a different team then.
