    AFC Bournemouth v Sheffield United

    We were screaming at Tav first half to run at his man but he did the stoppy- start thing every single time and passed it back into midfield. Seems to have lost the confidence to run at defenders. Sini and Dango much more incisive when they came on. Or is it an Al instruction to play more...

    AFC Bournemouth v Sheffield United

    Can anyone tell me what formation we were playing at the end? 3-2-5? Whatever it was, it seemed to work! For the love of everything that’s holy, why can’t we start a match playing fast front-foot football? Need to start fast against Luton and get a lead. Sorry to say the Kerkez-Tav combination...

    AFC Bournemouth v Manchester City - Saturday 5.30 pm

    Such a strange feeling coming away so elated after a loss! V proud of the boys, excellent to a man. Semenyo the stand out for me. Kerkez, Zabaryni both excellent, oh and Smudge was something else, bombing up the wing in injury time and that tackle in the first half, wow! Couldn’t be any prouder...

    AFC Bournemouth v Nottingham Forest - Sunday 2 pm

    Looking for two last minute tickets (one adult, one child) if anyone can’t make it? My son’s football match has just been cancelled…thank you!

    Post-match thoughts v Man Utd

    Such a strange old game, highly enjoyable but at times deeply frustrating. We had our chances. Kieffer just had to square it to Dom for a tap-in. Dom wasn’t happy at all, gave him quite the mouthful. So going forward, meh - lots to improve. We had no width at all until Dango came on. I love...

    AFC Bournemouth v Leeds United - 5 Games To Go

    I’m sure it’s been covered elsewhere but just wanted to give a shout out to Lloyd Kelly who was immense yesterday. Second half in particular their winger got no change at all out of him. Can’t think of another left sided defender in the division I’d rather have in our side. Unbeatable in a foot...

    Mitrovic and Willian

    Absolutely this. The problem is this type of behaviour drips down into grassroots youth football - see it every Sunday. No player should intimidate the ref as Mitro did today. It’s hard enough to recruit referees into youth football, we should do everything we can to protect them. Lengthy ban...

    Post-match thoughts v Liverpool

    Oh my what a day.One for the memory banks, as others have said. The post match walk back to the car was a thing of beauty. A Tesla drove past, Liverpool crest on the bumper - oh how we cheered. A long drive back to Merseyside (or Wimborne or somewhere), we showed them the score. Received two...

    Make some noise!

    Great atmosphere today. Best I can remember since the promotion clincher vs Forest, maybe better actually. The Fraser angle added a bit of extra spice. Team and fans both terrific today.

    Post-match thoughts v Newcastle

    Really enjoyed that. Thought we shaded the game and probably should have nicked it at the end. My lad says Solanke should have put his foot though it rather than the back heel.. fine margins. But overall very very happy. Such skill and pace on offer now - Dango, Traoré, Semenyo, Tavernier, JA -...

    Brighton away on sale

    Ah I missed out on these! If anyone has two tickets they don’t need (one adult, one child, 16 yrs), please let me know. Thank you!

    Positives and negatives v Notts Forest

    So much better than recent weeks which gives me hope for the second half of the season. Haven’t checked our xG but suspect it was 1+ which would be a vast improvement on recent performances. It was an entertaining game, I’ll take that!
