Bournemouth (A)..pre match thread.

[weller54]

Have we kick started our season?

I'm going for a 2-2 draw.

[HybridFox]

Let's hope we don't take Kell off at HT 

[Guest Col city fan]

We’ll beat Bournemouth if we play on the front foot.

They are a poor side at this level

1-3 to City

I agree don’t forget they did get beat 9-0 by Liverpool.

[Ric Flair]

We have to follow up last night with a result here. Our away form for over a year has been diabolical but we have to get results regardless.

[Stevosevic]

Got to get a win. Get out of this mess as soon as possible.

 

I want 9 points from the next 3 games.

Looking forward to this one. First visit to their shed.

[Lionator]

We’ll score 2 or 3 goals against these, it’s just a matter of if our defence cracks or not. It’ll be entertaining anyhow. 

[OntarioFox]

Well, I have been to Bournemouth four times since we came up. We haven't won a game - you have to go back to Kevin Phillips and his zimmer frame when we got promoted for our last triumph there.

 

So I'm going into this with zero expectations, but I live in hope. 

 

[Reg Vardy]

Would imagine Vardy was taken off on Monday with a view to starting on Saturday…..been a bit of a bogey ground of late, shouldn’t be difficult to get the team fired up after Monday….

But since then they've drawn 0-0 with Wolves, won 3-2 at Forest (after being 2-0 down I recall), drawn 0-0 away at Newcastle and, last week, drawn 0-0 with Brentford.

[whoareyaaa]

Same team, Same result. lets go.

[FosseSpark]

No changes from the off. Vardy can still stretch Bournemouth and bring maddison and Barnes into play. Daka and Soumare need to come in earlier though to positively impact the game on 55 and 60 mins rather than 70. No point dropping ward after his first clean sheet and seemingly a plan for set pieces where we try and get our key defenders and goalie attacking the ball.

I am far from confident.    It would take several games to persuade me the downward spiral has been reversed.   We are brittle.

Can we respectfully request you stay away. You appear to be the problem...

[Jobyfox]

The same team have earned the right to give it another go. 

 

I'm not confident as I'm still very unconvinced about our team's ability to defend against even basic football. We're a better team than Bournemouth, but we won't win many if we gift teams two or three goals a game. 

 

I want to see three or four games with a zero in the goals against column before I'm truly confident we've turned a corner. Fortunately we've got players that can score and the only worry there is Vardy isn't firing like we know he can. 

 

[Ric Flair]

Daka was very impressive vs Forest at a time when the game had started to fizzle out and we were stretching the play as much, couple that with Vardy missing a lot of chances and I'd be tempted to play Patson. That said, Vardy usually makes mincemeat of these sorts of teams and we do need him to spark in to life.

[Unabomber]

I think we will batter them 4-1

[Gazza M]

Our biggest danger is if Brendan tries to overthink. Same team, same tactics. None of this 3 at the back or trying to match up rubbish. 

[StanSP]

Keep it the same, or perhaps Daka for Vardy.
