Someone on twitter said Dolan isn't in the squad for today's game starting or subs 

 

Seems that the random twitter person was wrong.

Williams over Wharton. Bell starts.  No surprises.

 

Little to no goal threat on that bench.  Clean sheet needed.

This is an odd one for me, I live not that far from Bournemouth so this should be one of the away matches that I would really look forward to. Instead I'm sat at home catching up on work and finding it difficult to work up much enthusiasm.

I'm expecting to play one of the 'kids' in central defence - probably Magloire after the Leicester game - and for us to 'put on a good show' but lose by two or three, probably down to individual errors from the defenders. Then we will be told that there are 'a lot of positives' to take from the performance.

Well you're wrong so far, with William's at the back. Hopefully with the rest too.

Comes to something when Dolan is the biggest threat on the bench.

Can someone tell me what is wrong with Gallagher ??

 

[philipl]

I would have had Evans in ahead of Johnson but otherwise pleasantly surprised.

Hope JRC shines again.

[Paul Mani]

7 players in the match day squad who have previously, or currently play in our youth set up. ?

Aside from the obvious? Thigh injury.

@Hoochie Bloochie Mama Spot on with your team prediction. Brownie points to you.

Reasonably confident with that team.

Not quite the fearless leader photo chosen there for Tony.

 

[simongarnerisgod]

would have played wharton instead of williams,otherwise pretty much what we all expected

[G Somerset Rover]

Not many attacking options on that bench, jeez. COYB let’s catch the cherries off guard.

Lmao nope, who on earth picked that one? Then again I'm reminded of a Simpsons episode where Mr Burns stars in a film and gets dragged off by a horse or something in it, and the director says something like 'we did 50 takes, and that was the best one'.

'We took 50 photos, and that was the most arsed he looked'

Incredibly strong team, even with brooks on the bench. Really tough game this.

Brooke’s and Billing not in the starting 11 is good news. A good team but nothing to be afraid of. 

[philipl]

Surprised at Brooks not starting.

Bournemouth had a strong end of season and almost escaped so could presage a strong start to this season.

That Rovers side should have enough about it provided Bell and Johnson are not having a sleepy afternoon.

Could go either way for Bournemouth this year.  They could well be top 2 all season... However, out of the 3 relegated sides, I think they are the most likely to have that blip season - like Stoke last year.
