I think they are ripe for the plucking & now they've lost their talisman they will drop off at an alarming rate.
Feel sorry for them given their financial restraints they can't go out & get a decent manager who will push them on. I have no malice against Bournemouth personally & wish for their long term survival both in the league & financially.

me too. I'd still like to see them promoted with us and Charlton
 






I think the players on both sides will be 'up for it', knowing that they cheated at Withdean to get a point.
They were UNDER OUR THUMBS for 90 minutes too, and they know it was a daylight robbery. We should have had them BURIED before they knew what colour shirts they were wearing.

I don't think they are going to be let off the hook, at their place.

Bournemouth are a different side at home. I bet Poyet would take a draw if he was offered one now.

I think they will drop off now Howe has gone but I still think they will be knocking on the play off door all season. You don't come up from L2 and then spend 5 months int he top 5 in L1 and then suddenly become a bad side.

We can beat anyone though so no fears.

Would settle for a draw personally. Think they will be ban up for it to show that their success was not all down to Howe and they are a good club/bunch of players

I think they will be more worried about us than we are about them. They know they fluked out at Withers, they should have been dead and buried before that criminal decision rescued them. We could, and should, have been 3 or 4 up by then.

They can't get THAT lucky twice against us shirley.

Bournemouth have scored a lot of goals at home so far this season. We're also finding the back of the net a fair bit as well so should be a cracking game.

0-0 anyone?

Bournemouth have won 9 of their 12 home games. A draw would be a decent result.



(Not that we will set up looking for one - after all a draw would have been a 'decent result' at Peterborough, Swindon, Plymouth, Charlton, etc...)

There's no doubt in my mind we're going to win there on Saturday.

So were Exeter though...same result would do me nicely!
Well indeed! But I suspect, as HKFC alluded, that Albion will set themselves up to look for a win, but a draw would represent a decent result.

Another win and we'll be looking as comfortable as we were before our minor blip. Probably 6 or 7 points clear with a game in hand, which would be ruddy marvellous.

nothing less then a win is good enough and we need to keep winning to put pressure on the other teams

Well, thats not strictly true now is it.

A point would be a perfectly acceptable outcome. We've got a lot of the dross of this division coming up now, so a draw away at one of the high-fliers could never be described as "not good enough".
