Given how played until our changes against Fulham and the tight turn around there'll be a few changes.

I would guess Branthwaite, Patterson, Beto come in, Tim/Merlin for Gana and George/Alcaraz/Dibling in for Armstrong for this match

Would like to see Branthwaite and O'Brien partnered at CB for this one but just don't think Moyes does it

We need to win, keep the race for Europe alive and build up a bit of positivity around playing at home
 
Will be tricky game as even without Semenyo Bournemouth showed against Villa they have lots of quality still on counter attacks.

I know people won't like it but Moyes doing low block to frustrate them and then getting a goal off set play or KDH making a run into the box is probably the wisest tactic.

Have to say after 25 games to actually have a chance of getting above RS in the league with a win is a delicious prospect and simply must not be spurned.

Haven't had a 1-0 cling on for dear life win for a while at home so this feels a good one to do it in to replicate 2023 last day.

It always confuses me how Bournemouth are sustainable as a premier league club. We talk a lot about raising our revenue to help us with transfer fees and wages, but even back at Goodison we dwarfed their attendances home and away, must sell more beers, pies, stadium tours etc..., and have more fans around the world so surely sell more merch and attract more sponsorship and yet they keep trucking along doing fine. I guess it shows how well run they are but it's crazy that places like Sheffield and Bristol can't get a team to remain (or even get to) the PL but Bournemouth can.

Eddie Howe gets most of the credit for me, did an unbelievable job
 
Based on the second half against Leeds, I would go:

JP

JoB
JT
JB

JP
 KDH
JG
AA

IN
TB
TG

That's about as attacking and defensive as we can get all in one formation
 
Same comment as last home game to Leeds - home game to a bottom half club, the only question is, draw or defeat? We hardly ever win this type of game.
 
Wait'll you see how they wilt when the pressure is put on them to maintain a European place challenge.

Hopefully not and we turn this home form around.
