It'll be the same team unless someone has picked up a knock.

Looking at Bournemouth’s injury list it’ll be a massive missed opportunity if we can’t turn them over - reads like our one in December 2023 when they did us 2-0 at the Vitality. They’re realistically without:

 

Senesi

Sinesterra

Unal

Alex Scott

Smith

Araujo

Tavernier

Evanilson

 

 

 

 

I still grimace when I see this phrase after NO's attempts to sour one of our best seasons in living memory.

Their team still looks decent.

 

Semenyo is quality.

Always thought Kluivert's looked dangerous when I've seen him too. If we lose they're only actually a point behind us, they're doing really well right now!

[RodneyCisse]

Feels like we couldn’t play them at a better time, early kick off too after a tough game at Chelsea for them.

They'd had an extra days rest than us though.

Stupid time for a game of football

[Conjo]

They pressed us really well in our previous meeting, and we never really got going and ended up with a fairly undeserved point in the end.

 

If Bournemouth perform similarly it'll still be a tough game, but I'm more confident we can play through their press this time with Dubravka, Botman & Tonali in the side instead of Pope, Krafth & Longstaff.

[madras]

Just been having a look at one of their forums and the feeling from them is that their lack of attacking options could cost them as they like to freshen up forward players in the second half to maintain intensity. So, pretty much the same as us.

Is it 9 wins in a row vs 9 games in a row unbeaten ? One record must fall.

We have really good record on the early kick offs this season tbf. Wins over Arsenal and Spurs and a draw with City.

9 v 10 I think - be nice to end their 10 with our 10!

Oh, I meant more that I'll have to drag myself out of my hangover pit at 9.30am on a Saturday and get back on it.

The closer it gets, the more confident I am. Bournemouth won't sit in a low block, they are missing some key players and despite them being a good side, they surely just run out of steam here.

 

I don't feel like there will be any complacency from our boys, they will know this is a tough game and I think they will be at it from minute 1.

 

I'm going to go entirely against the grain and predict that we hammer them 4-0.

Love it. I’m all in on the hammering them train. Ramming speed from the off!

We quite often go well in 12:30 kick offs, unbeaten in the last 6 - we’ve won 4 of them and drawn 2.

I think the main concern is the lack of rest, not the playing time so much.

 

I think Arsenal might be the only one of those we had a similar rest time.

Stylistically, Bournemouth are quite similar to us. Great pressers, dangerous in transition, etc.

Out of all the "fan channels" that exist, these are by far the most sound.

Tricky these mind. Got that Charlton vibe from days of yore about them for me, never fancy the fixture

Too good and thus too obvious to be a Grimsby so the powers that be may as well crimp that story off.

Hope the chances Wolves made on Wednesday will have caused a redoubling of the focus on preventing them. 

One more massive effort this week. Scrappy 1-0 would do.

I don't watch one single Newcastle 'channel' but regularly watch their show. Good set of lads.

Yep, very good as these type of things go.

 

Would be better if they’d just wear some make-up like…
