AFC Bournemouth v Blackburn Rovers

[thegazzyb]

We're hyped here. Looking forward to seeing if we continue to play brave attacking football like we did in the Betway Cup Final.
If we do, we're sure to be entertained this afternoon, whatever the result !

Weird no Rico....
Otherwise really like the look of that team.

Rico?

Yes, I want Rico.....

Cmon you Reds!!

Was expecting Rico instead of Mepham TBH.
I guess it's a knock, or a move.

Hope it’s not a move

Rico not on the bench so maybe on the way somewhere.

I love my team. .

It’s all down to whether you’d prefer Diego Rico at left wing back and drop Jack Stacey for Adam Smith on the right or not really.

He’s not going to play instead of Mepham.

Rankin-Costello, now that's a great name.

 

[Uttoxeter cherry]

Yes surprised no Rico but otherwise, love it!

I hope we don't sell rico, looked brilliant at LCB against WHU. Also, we won't have a recognised LB... Weird one, but hope he stays.

Where’s Diego???

 

[northstandmark]

Rico notable by absence, not even on the bench, but otherwise more or less what we'd all have picked I think. Good luck chaps.

 

[cherrycarl2004]

Need to watch Adam Armstrong, Ben Brereton ,and John Buckley, who is on the bench. All good players.

Well I believe he played at LCB in one of the friendlies, with Smith at LWB.
In which case, you'd have Kelly and Cookie as the other CBs.

But it’s a SQUAD game. Rico can be very good at both wing back and left centre back so would be a huge loss. We can’t afford to be stripped anymore, we’re already down to the bare bones.

If you’re playing three centre backs and Cook, Kelly and Mepham are available, you pick them.

I’m not saying sell him! I’m saying I wouldn’t play him at centre back if Mepham, Cook and Kelly are available.

Squad looks light if we got a couple of injuries
