Cherries: Goalscorer Matt means business (From Bournemouth Echo)

I have to say that if we had a younger Steve Fletcher the team would benefit more from Tubbs than the present strike force. Pitman has always seemed lazy to me and does not compete for the ball he expects the ball to fall perfectly at his feet. Yes he does score some great goals. I feel that we try to make it too complicated rather than play intelligent football. Come on the Cherries start winning again. I hope that Elphick and Daniels will soon be fit again.

Take this one on the chin and go for the win Tuesday. Every game has become a must win game now. Hopefully this goal will give Tubbs his chance ahead of an out of form Grabban, the joy he showed when he scored said it all, let's hope Eddie gives him a run in the side. Also hope Tommy is fit for Tuesday night, Ritchie is keen to get back to his attacking duties and also push us forward, surely with Tommy back and the adjustments that would make to our defence we can once again enjoy a run of wins. I am certain this run is all but at an end and Tuesday night will be that win we need to lift all our spirits!! and before I get accused of having my head in the clouds by you know who, I always support the team and wish them well before a game!!

I wanted to comment on Saturday’s game Saturday evening however by the time I got to my PC so much rubbish was being bandied about that I decided not bother and leave the usual tit for tat posters to get on with it.

It ain’t what you say it is the way that you say it!

So whilst some long distance supporter may have some very good points to make the way that they are made puts the backs up of those who actually attend games including me.

Those of us who were there on Saturday witnessed some very good football and if half of the chances that went begging were converted into goals we would have won hands down. Alas it wasn’t to be.

In my previous post I said we should play intelligent football by that I mean ‘keep it simple’ I know that the opposing team doesn’t always allow you to play the way you want but I do think that it is possible. For example more one time passes instead of back and forth and risk losing the ball to the opposition.

How often do we see a player like Pugh make a run into space only to see the ball delivered to another player who is surrounded by defenders thus lose possession. I do wonder sometimes whether the touchline is the best place for the manager to see the game but who am I to criticise. UTCIAD

Agree totally with the comments already made. Sadly too many of our attacking players seem to have lost confidence in going forward and "taking defenders on" The phrase squeaky bum time is extremely apt if we want to make the play offs. I too have stopped commenting recently due to the banal comments regularly being made. As ever UTCIAD

Thank goodness only the sensible posters are out this morning.

Is thst right that Elphick might be back Tuesday, last week someone said it could be 6-8 weeks? I like many others are desperate to see Ritchie in an attacking role so hope that is true.

Agree that Tubbs would be better served by playing alongside a target man to feed off the knock downs, but I think he now deserves a start on Tuesday beside whoever.

REGARDS!!

Well taken goal by Matt on Saturday his joy of scoring it showed and good to see a Supa assist as too, well done Fletch the oldest swinger in town!!! Just a shame we couldn’t hang on as we were surely the better team, however life’s not always fair so it was not to be. I still look forward to tomorrow despite recent results as we are always playing bursts of good football and that next elusive win will surely come! As said before I hope the weather holds for tomorrow’s game as I think it would be good to continue without a delay and too much time to mull over Saturday. UTC!!!

5 wins from 15 games since we beat Crawley 3-0.This slump started months ago.The 5 wins in a row we had recently were against the 3 worst /out of form teams in the league at that time,Mk Dons, Hartlepool and Pompey and 2 wins against Crewe when we had 3 fortunate penalties.Promotion now looks unlikely if you look at the bigger picture.

Agree with comments already made,especially the tubbs comments!so why send demouge out on loan?thought he would be perfect for tubbs to play alongside!!why they didn't get a fair crack of the whip I'll never know! UTC

The answer is very simple. The style of football in the Netherlands is very different in a number of ways. It is more akin to our Premiership reserve matches where there is very little physical contact. The term often used is - splashing around in a duck pond.

Demouge is NOT up to the physical rigours of our League One. ENDEX

With regards to Elphick and Daniels. We cannot just place them back into the first team straight away.
.
They need game time i.e. one, preferably two reserve games to regain match fitness after such a lay-off. It is not as if they have just missed one game or two. They have been out for a while especially Daniels.
.
If we put them back in straight away we will in fact be weakening the back line more than it is at the moment throu their lack fitness and pace.
.
Maybe it is time to recruit a target man in on loan of which would benefit us more in our current situation than placing Elphick and Daniels striaght back into the first team after injury.

P.S. I am now waiting for the first 'twerp' to disparage this valid point.

Hi Nonno, hope your ok.... Totally agree with your comments. The fact we are creating so many chances PROVES we are fine without James in goal, and managing the loss of Charlie and Tommy. You could argue we're losing goals at the back because James is'nt Marshalling the defence, but he himself was making too many mistakes for my liking. Which takes me back to those chances, take them, and we'd of won several of those 5 games. Tubbs in for Grabban would be my choice, but as you say, I'm certainly not going to criticise Eddie...

Well I,m sorry to say I am going to criticise Eddie Howe,I cannot understand why you purchase a player like Matt Ritchy a proven goalscorer and one off the best attacking players in this devision and continue to play him out of position at left back.I beleived Eddie when he said it was tempory but when we are crying out for his tallents up front it is unbelievable we cannot cover this position from the oversize squad we have at the moment or a loan player.But I also have little confidence in the quality of his choice of loan players none of whom seem any better than we allready have.I remember young Josh Carmichael played well when Paul Groves was In charge and thats praise indeed,I assume Groves is not advising Eddie but it does look simmilar.

Hear what ur saying Steady, I must admit I’ve had my fill of “smug-arrogance” for one season ;-|

Give Wally a call, not even getting a game at AfcW. Could still do a job at Left Back for us and would certainly not let anyone down, good for team spirit as well. Ironic that Meads is keeping him out of the team. Then put Ritchie to Right Wing with Tubbs & Pitman up front. Feel a tad sorry for Mcquoid because his best position is striker not winger. Give Grabbon a rest on the bench.

Here we again you see !!!
.
What I have made is a true, poingent and vald comment regarding why Demouge was sent out on loan. There is nothing smug or arrogant about it.
.
If Demouge was going to contribute effectively I am sure Ed would have kept him, or pehaps you are implying that Ed is also a Loony.

Perhap you should re-read and
re-evaluate my post and respond to it in an adult manner.

Most of the teams around us have suffered similar patches of bad form and will no doubt suffer more setbacks before the season is out. It says a lot about this league that we can lose 5 on the spin, dropping 15 potential points and STILL be in contention for play-offs(3pts adrift) even if top 2 does look beyond us now. If Donny are the benchmark, clearly we need not be to concerned, beat Stevenage and things will look far better.

Smhinto as much as I respect your views and some of the comments that you make I have to say that your reply without the the P.S. would, in my view, merited a more balanced consideration, however by referring to those who disagree with you as 'twerps' makes people go against you even if they agreed with your sentiments.

I think that we can have a debate about our beloved club without name calling.

As for your point I would hope that EH would not throw Daniels and Elphick back into the team without some test of match fitness. I would take it as read that would be the case.

Thank you for asking AFCBPETE things are progressing as well as it can I will be plucking up the courage to visit my brother's grave soon possibly when the season is over so that I can share with him our success into the championship!

I think that whilst we create chances there is always hope that the ball will end up in the net for us it can't go on much longer the way it has been over the last few games when we did everything but score. Up the mighty cherries

Did you see him play in League 1? On what basis are you saying he wasn't up to it? A broken nose is a broken nose whatever league you play in! I that that is an incredibly sweeping statement to make about a player who had such little game time to show his ability.

Fellas Please dont rise to sminto or whatever his name is.The bloke is a knobhead and should be ignored.For me,if you dont go and watch and support your side,you cant possibly have an opinion cause its based on nothing.I thought at times we played good football saturday and we were just unlucky...again.The bad run will end and good times will roll in again.At the moment i feel we are missing a leader on the pitch.Confidence will be resumed.Up the Cherries and upwards and upwards

"Here we again you see","poignent", "pehaps", "vald". If you could try using the Queen's English I may treat your comments with more respect. With your arrogance I thought you may have been an officer when you were in the Royal Air Force. Quite clearly you were not.

Lets face it grabban looks tired out he's going through the motions but not doing anything.. he runs here there and everywhere like forest gump !! but over the last 4 games all the strikers who have scored have patrolled the box and just behind and they have all scored like clarke paynter , macdonald for me he is doing far to much which is what the wingers are there for. For me matt tubbs shows a passion and a love for the club and wants to win ok he's missed a few recently but games will get him sharp again !! him and brett in the next two games for me give grabban a much needed rest as for mcqouid going into the development team would help him "big player mentality" with nothing comming from it but is definatly eddie's blue eyed boy !!!

Tubbsy should be given a rare start tomorrow night. Grabban is tired and slow so in need of a rest anyway. Recall Demouge. Pity we don't have any more defenders though. maybe Eddie should get a good left back on loan. I suppose Painter has put him off! Tueday's starting 11 :
Tubbs, Pitman,
Pugh, Arter, O'Kane, McQuiod,
Ritchie, Seaborne, Cook, Francis,
Alsop.

Bench:
Fletcher, MacDonald, McDermott, Fogden, Fraser, Hughes, Jalal.

With the injuries we have the team actually picks itself! Eddie shouldn't tinker too much this late on anyway.
MUST win against Stevenage or the season is over! No Play-Offs. Mid table finish.

I have said many times on here that a bad spell would arise. This was always going to happen. You can't go on winning games for ever.
.
It has also been apparent that the team/squad was never good enough to go up. It is (still) unbalanced and remember it was thrown together by Groves. They did very well during an extended honeymoon, with Eddie getting the team to punch above its weight. That can't last.
.
Mistakes have also not helped. We had the 'spine' (GK/CD/CF) in place and looked good. Then we sent back Barnard who led the line well. We dropped James to avoid giving him a new contract. Why not give him a new contract ? A goalkeeper who commanded his area and defenders felt good about. And we sent Zubar away, depriving ourselves of ideal cover for the injury which then almost inevitably occurred.
.
And what is Mr Demin making of all this ? The club is no good to him in league 1. Already economies have been made with the realisation that promotion is now off the agenda. But will it end there ? Within a year of coming on board, Mr Demin was on his third manager. Now we all know that Eddie is about as good a manager as AFCB can get, but does Mr Demin know that. He knows nothing about football and there is no-one there to advise him properly. If as now seems likely we drop away to upper mid table, Mr Demin may well feel that he needs to make a further change. He probably regards himself as the Abramovic of League 1 and I wonder if he might not have the same ethos with regard to managers

I'll buy that if you replace McQuiod with Fraser as he looks like he needs a rest too.

Please Eddie, start Fraser and Tubbs. Pitman can seem lazy but is great right in front of goal, pair this with Tubbs who just doesn't stop running, and I think we can turn things around. Even better.. try and sort out the defence and get Ritchie back on the right. Somehow. We've been so unlucky with injuries it's not surprising we've been conceding so much. Addison, Elphick, Zubar and Daniels.. all out. Anyone know how Daniels and Elphick are doing now?

Interesting to see the Racing Post sports betting column today mention the Cherries as still a good bet for promotion despite recent poor form - according to the writer with the league is so open AFCB can can still make up the seven points if they play as well as they did against Doncaster and have more luck in front of goal

There is a long way to go yet

Smhinto - As Mick says , "poignent" "vald" "pehaps" , you sound like the French policeman in "Allo Allo" ! I was just **** the door etc.
Or maybe ( pehaps ) your scouting dossiers are for Paris SG ?

p.s. Anybody want a game-off at Stevenage ? more recovery time for Tom & Charlie . REGARDS

Yes on reflection Fraser did look pretty hungry when he came on. Tubbs and Fraser up front it is then! if only we could pick the team........come on Eddie, read this and at least think about it......

I have to say that if we had a younger Steve Fletcher the team would benefit more from Tubbs than the present strike force. Pitman has always seemed lazy to me and does not compete for the ball he expects the ball to fall perfectly at his feet. Yes he does score some great goals. I feel that we try to make it too complicated rather than play intelligent football. Come on the Cherries start winning again. I hope that Elphick and Daniels will soon be fit again.

With regards to Elphick and Daniels. We cannot just place them back into the first team straight away.
.
They need game time i.e. one, preferably two reserve games to regain match fitness after such a lay-off. It is not as if they have just missed one game or two. They have been out for a while especially Daniels.
.
If we put them back in straight away we will in fact be weakening the back line more than it is at the moment throu their lack fitness and pace.
.
Maybe it is time to recruit a target man in on loan of which would benefit us more in our current situation than placing Elphick and Daniels striaght back into the first team after injury.

P.S. I am now waiting for the first 'twerp' to disparage this valid point.

Smhinto as much as I respect your views and some of the comments that you make I have to say that your reply without the the P.S. would, in my view, merited a more balanced consideration, however by referring to those who disagree with you as 'twerps' makes people go against you even if they agreed with your sentiments.

I think that we can have a debate about our beloved club without name calling.

As for your point I would hope that EH would not throw Daniels and Elphick back into the team without some test of match fitness. I would take it as read that would be the case.

Dear Nonno
.
I sincerely hope you are well ??
.
I should point out that I do NOT have a problem with people dis-agreeing with my posts. There is nothing wrong with healthy and fair counter-argument and banter.
.
My P.S. today refering to 'twerps' is aimed at the gnorant idiots who see my posts and notice 'smhinto' at the top of it and then automatiacally assume it must a load of drivel without actually reading it and assessing weather or not it maybe a valid point or not. Then replying to it in a stupid uncalled fr manner
.
This has been the case today if you care to go back at this thread earlier and note the stupid responses posted covering my post about Demouge. Absolutely unbelievble !!
.
In fairness I have to say that there are a number of people who have posted sensibly regarding my points over the last few days.
.
Kindest regards

Obviously you are not aware that there is an ongoing fault with missed characters on this forum of which many people have commented on.

I do not suppose you will acknowledge this should you find out weather this is true or not.

The answer is very simple. The style of football in the Netherlands is very different in a number of ways. It is more akin to our Premiership reserve matches where there is very little physical contact. The term often used is - splashing around in a duck pond. . Demouge is NOT up to the physical rigours of our League One. ENDEX

FFS! If I was the size of big Frank and wasn’t up to the physical rigours of League 1 I’d ditch football and take up ballet, origami or synchronised swimming!

Tedmac, dont engage with the Loony from Linclon, he will soon get fed up and slither away.

Has it ever occured to you Mr SteddyEddy that I just might have a valid point. A sensible reply is all that was required.

Very true, you are quite right, more out of laziness I would say.

Tubbs, you're our best kept secret. Shame on EH for not giving you a better run in the side. You are clearly a good striker and professional sportsman.

I have read it smhinto I cannot speak for others as they have to argue their case as they see it. Unfortunately, once you get a reputation on this comment board there is a tendency for people to jump to conclusions without really give a thought to what is being said.

The wonderful thing about opinions is that if they are well put they can be thought provoking, however none of us can claim superiority (at least that is true of myself!) because the minute we do that we are sticking our heads above the parapet.

I would only ask that you to do is to refrain from referring to others as 'twerps' empty heads etc and see if you get a different response. It must be worth a try!

Kind regards

it is catching!!! I would only ask to refrain .... excuse my clumsy grammar

Stop fretting there's plenty of games to go, we'll be fine. We will at the least get into the play off's and with luck and good team selections (a couple of my favourites aren't being played at the moment) could still go up automatically. It's not over til the fat lady sings.

Oh dear! "weather" or not? Thats got nothing to do with "missed" characters! Do get a grip! Your becoming more of a laughing stock every day. Not a very good advert for the Royal Air Force. Thankfully, I managed to avoid you during my service career.

Tubbs MUST start tonight! Up front with Pitman! Drop lazy Grabban. Harry will be back in the starting 11 so the guys just need to come out all guns blazing an get an early goal! Come on you reds!!!
