The Official A.F.C Bournemouth Thread

[Cupramax]

I must admit I was very dubious about Scott Parker but he’s got them going big style! Very impressive so far… getting Cahill seems to have been a master stroke and Solanke can’t stop scoring.

[Hub]

Jinxed it!

Here we go then, the typical swing in form 10 game losing streak starts here!

[Cupramax]

Back with a bang, 4-0 today and should have been 6 or 7! Wooop.

Scott parker is doing a great job!

I was sceptical at first.

[V41LEY]

Gone quiet on here
Parker out ?

[Cupramax]

Does seem to have gone a bit pear shaped recently, they were flying at one point but seem to have gone completely off the rails at the moment. Not exactly sure where the problem is….

[Hub]

It feels like the complete swings in form has been going on for years, well since the PL anyway (although sometimes injury related)

[DT1975]

We have an over reliance on Solanke

We're also trying to stroke the ball into the net but on the whole its pretty timid and turgid stuff. Fulham fans warned us about 'parker ball' and didn't we laugh...not now as it appears to be coming to fruition.

We cant blame Injuries as we have a healthy squad . Billing seems to play when he feels like it, our midfield is mainly defensive, Christie couldn't hit a barn door in a hurricane despite being able to turn on a sixpence. Lowe is always isolated, in short Dom needs help up front.

Parker apparently is a three year project, one that is rapidly going backwards.

[Hub]

Right, getting nervous now - I just know we're going to lose to Forest and miss automatic promotion on goal difference!

Massive match Tuesday!

It’s going to be tight. Forest look to be the in form team to beat

Hoping that Luton take a least a point against Fulham

[Miocene]

Squeaky bum time to say the least! Tuesday is massive.

Fantastic news, a proper talent.

0-0 so far, promotion game.

[Driver101]

I might tune in for the game tonight. Big pressure game with the PL prize.

I didn't know it started early.

[Cupramax]

Wahooo back in the Prem well done Scot Parker.

[V41LEY]

Ok Cherries fans
How we feeling about this season ?
Tough start I reckon.
Losing to BC in a friendly wasn’t great !

[Cupramax]

Worried by the lack of transfer action so far…

[Jimmm]

Hoping you stay up this year. I've had a soft spot for Bournemouth for a while. I was the OP of this thread 7 years ago when Newcastle were relegated. I was praising the work of Eddie Howe and looking forward to at least having someone to cheer on in the Premier League. How times change!

But you have signed Super Joe Rothwell? A player who will run down his contract and leave, but a great player on his day, but for Blackburn that day didn’t seem to be any time in 2022!

Hope he works out better than Connor Mahoney.

[DT1975]

We could do with a CB, hopefully we can sort a deal for Nat Phillips and get him back. I see we're favourites for go straight back down, no shock there. It wouldn't be the end of the world as long as the off field investment continues now the work on the new training facility / Academy at Canford has restarted. It would also be nice to expand the ground somewhat but can understand the reticence since we only own a small chunk of it and the landowner has us over a barrel. Anyway bring on the Villa !

[V41LEY]

I’ve never quite understood why Maxim hasn’t been subject to sanctions (or maybe he has). It seems to go under the radar that we have a Russian owner. Does he hold a UK passport these days ?
