Looking To Get Back To Winning Ways
The Cherries had their second away game against Millwall on Wednesday night, it finished 1-1. Solanke putting AFCB in the lead just before the half-time break and Afobe replied with the equaliser in the second half. Game of few chances, 8 shots by Millwall with 1 on target and AFCB with 9 shots and 3 on target. Now the Cherries return to home territory Dean Court on Saturday at 3 pm to play Coventry City who are 3 places and 9 points behind our club. AFCB will want to get back to the form they showed in their last game at Dean Court winning 4-0.
Mark Robins has been their manager since March 2017, last season his side finished in 16th position with 55 points, at the moment after 19 games they are in 5th Position with 32 points. His club have made a number of signings during the Summer transfer window, most of them permanent. He has got his side playing some attractive attacking football.
Coventry City’s strength has been in their home form this season and are second behind Fulham with the same number of points in the home table. P 10, W 7, D 2, L 1. Away from home it has been a different story, they have beaten both Blackpool and Hull City 0-1. Drawn 1-1 with Millwall, 2-2 at Blackburn Rovers and 0-0 against Sheffield United. They have lost 1-0 at Barnsley, 2-0 at QPR, their heaviest defeat this season 5-0 against Luton Town and 2-1 at Preston. Their latest game was at home on Tuesday night against Birmingham City, which finished 0-0.
Our last home game against Coventry City was in April, AFCB won 4-1, our goals coming from Danjuma with a brace, Brooks and Solanke. This was the fourth win in that 7 run of wins in the league.
AFCB league results at home against Coventry City have resulted in W 10, D 7, L 6.
All competitions, AFCB have W 18, D 10, L 23.
AFCB Team News
Philip Billing will be available for selection again after serving his one match suspension. Probably too soon for news on our injured players and any from the Millwall game, re Saturday.
AFCB Player To Watch
Although nobody in our side stood out against Millwall, you just can’t look past Dominic Solanke this season, 15 goals in 19 league games (10 goals at Dean Court), including 8 goals in the last 7 games home and away.
Coventry City Team News
Jake Clarke-Salter and Martyn Waghorn are injured.
Coventry City Player To Watch
Callum O’Hare is an important player for them in midfield, leads with 3 assists, broke his goalscoring duck recently with a goal at home against Bristol City. Their leading scorer is the Swede, Victor Gyokeres with 9 goals and 2 assists. He had a goalscoring spell in September up to the beginning of October where he scored 7 goals in 6 games, since then he has had a barren spell of 8 games without a goal. Matt Godden has scored 5 goals in his last 7 games. Gustavo Hamer had a good game against Birmingham City in midfield and was MOM.
The Referee
The referee is David Coote, this season so far he has only been in charge of Premier League games. The last time we had him was in the Premier League 2018-19 season. Our home games with Watford and Fulham.
