v Bournemouth (a) - 11/12/21

[simongarnerisgod]

tough away trip for us,it`ll be an indication of how far we have progressed,im`e going for a rather optimistic 1-2,with a late goal for us😁

[Upside Down]

I think we'll lose. Hopefully we don't get bummed though. 

[Admiral Nelsen]

For all this talk of Fulham & Bournemouth being streets ahead of everyone else - of what I've seen I wouldn't put them both in the same category. It wouldn't shock me at all if Bournemouth drop out of the top 2 at one point during the season. 

 

That said, I think we'll lose this one. With Big Club, Hull, Barnsley & Huddersfield coming up, a draw would be more than acceptable. 

[Ulrich]

I'd take a draw right now, 3-3 with a BBD hat trick to seal fans bets 👍

[1864roverite]

It’s potentially a huge game for these Rovers youngsters, win and not only does it close the gap, it sends out a real statement of intent whilst seriously boosting confidence.

It will be tough but I don’t see a lot of goals in it.

If you look on the Bournemouth forum there’s some fans who aren’t convinced they’ll stay in the top two.

Need to keep our feet on the ground with this one. A defeat wouldn’t be the end of the world provided that we’re competitive.  That said, any positive result would be brilliant. A win and expectations might start to get seriously dizzy.

[bluebruce]

I've had this one written off in my mind for a while now. We are on a great run of form, but I feel a defeat is overdue and away to one of the best sides in the league is probably when it happens. I'd be happy with a draw (unless it happened in ridiculous circumstances like giving away a 2 goal lead again).

One win in six. Not many teams go through a Championship season without a sticky patch but they can't afford to carry on like this for too much longer. 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Ayala, Gallagher and possibly Kaminski back in contention apparently. I’d leave the first two on the bench and only play Kaminski if he is 110% fit.

I was much more worried about Ayala missing PNE than this one. Can't see the centre halves needing to head as many balls as they were expected to last weekend.

A draw here would be very good although going there with that being the aim might be asking for trouble. Think we might fall short in this one as Tony goes back to over complicating things trying to stop the opposition.

I've no over expectation in this as long as they give a good account of themselves.

I’ve just posted about this on the Politics thread but a heads up that the new Plan B rules from Friday that you will need evidence of vaccination through the NHS Covid pass or a negative LTF result to get into the Bournemouth game (and subsequent games).

Do you need evidence of vaccination and a LTF, -ve result. Or just either.

Just one or the other. It will cause chaos at grounds and everyone will need to get there earlier.

United are setting up pre-game check tents at Newport Pagnell services and the Dublin ferry port so the majority of their home crowd will be able to walk straight in to the Theatre of Merchandise

Is Lenihan suspended for this game? He picked up his 5th yellow up last weekend.

No. We have passed the 19 game mark. The next point is 10 cards by 37 games for a 2 game suspension.

You shouldnt need this for this weekends games the covid passport rules dont come into operation until next wednesday to allow places to get processes in place

[Admiral Nelsen]

Sounds like Pears is getting another game here

[oldjamfan1]

We will score 2. Dunno how many the Cherries will get but I really fancy us to open them up a couple of times on the counter attack on Saturday.

Doesn't Parliament need to vote on these measures like Covid passports before they come in to force and can be used?

That's vote is on Monday I believe
