AFC Bournemouth v Luton Town - Wednesday 7.30 pm

The inability of Lewis Cook, such a technically talented player and once a captain of England Youth...to impose himself in a more commanding way and even having a crack at scoring a goal is one of the all -time mysteries of the Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletics History .
You just want him to come out of that shell...and even propel himself into a full England debut.
He was that much of a prospect...but OK the awful injury situation he endured probably is a factor in his subdued existence over every 95 minutes...if we know that..then we understand guess...maybe Andoni can eventually help him up a notch !
LOL you never come to games anymore do you?

Its difficult to tell...
 
There's no rush to break up Cook and Christie, but it's nice to have someone else who can save their legs and prevent them playing 100 minutes constantly.

Agree, I wouldn't be starting Adams yet but if we have poor performances like yesterday he get his chance at half time. If he performs he forces his way into the starting lineup.

Same for everyone tbf. It's great because I can't remember us ever having this depth and the number of options on the bench to change things. Four points in the last two games purely down to the game changers we have on the bench.
 
After playing the bottom three clubs and taking 7 points out of a possible 9, the table looks very healthy.

Next club behind us are Palace with a 6 point gap and then Brentford with a 9 point gap.

 
I’m sure that behind the scenes the board are working on the plans for the summer pre season. Get ready to pack your bags for a tour to Las Vegas.

The team of 2015 was built on teamwork and partnerships around the pitch. We can discuss all day which "team" is better on the pitch but I dont think anyone can doubt how far we have come in our depth and ability to bring on players able to improve or adapt to whats happening in a match.

In 2016 we had something like Federici, Afobe, Brad Smith, Ibe and Grabban on the bench.

Yes exactly. When like on Saturday you can wheel on people like Unal, sini, Billing, Scott etc yiu can see just how far we've come.

Yes, sheff, lutons etc can play with heart, and of course they'll pickup points but over course of the season, it's very tough to compete with mid/lower sides that noticeable extra in terms of quality and depth. Unless ckubs like us have a poor mgmt, disharmony at club.
 
You will start predicting that we will get relegated next season soon !
It is always possible especially if we lose Kelly, Solanke and Kerkez of which is highly likely going by recent speculation. How do you replace Solanke with an equivalent ready made article to score frequent goals in the PL.
 
Many might have thought it, but only one knob that I could see actually revelled in that.

Now he looks even more stupid.
No. I did not revel in it. I was actually bloody annoyed! Just how does a team of our quality go 0-2 down at HOME to Sheff Utd and then go 0-3 down at HOME to Luton with both of those clubs being in the bottom three of the division.

Its enough to make the Pope swear.
 
Yes I did and who else would have thought at half time that we would score 4 in the second half. I certainly didn't. So full credit to AI and the application and battling performance of the players.

Nobody thought we would go 3-0 down in the first half yet you appear to want to claim credit for that part of your prediction.

You have completely humiliated yourself dozens of times with your terrible opinions about football. It is embarrassing to see because you either genuinely think these things, which means you are a clueless idiot, or you deliberately post this attention seeking nonsense because you get off on the attention, which is even more embarrassing.

It's very sad to witness tbh.
