can we beat Bournemouth or will we take a point ?

would love it if we buried them 4-0 but is that realistic or are we thinking 1-1

I think much depends on how Bournemouth approach the game. If they play their own game and come at us looking for the 3 points, then I think we will be too good for them and win 2-0. If they play as they did at Withdean and try to stop us from playing our natural game, then I would go for another 1-1 draw.

 

[sydney]

got a funny feeling we are going to DRILL them 2 or 3-0.......

 

[Steve Foster]

Looking at the other fixtures, B'muff position in the table a draw for them is going to be a good result. I expect their team to line up defensively.
Therefore 1-1 seems about right I would say

Hope we can get a win there. Hoping that they will be slightly unsettled after the departure of Eddie Howe.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

I'd be more than satisfied to take a point from them.

 

[CheeseRolls]

They have to go to Rochdale on Tuesday, which won't be easy and will give us a clue as to the impact of Howe leaving.

Their new manager (Lee Bradbury) is going to have to balance his new job with his "International" duties. He has already been named as the manager of the Isle Of Wight for the Island games in the summer.

There home record is good, but they aren't on great form and they've lost their manager. I'd take a scrappy 1-0

 

[bhaexpress]

I think we can nick it bit as has already been said it's more to do with their attitude post Howe.

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

would be happy with a draw but this team keeps pulling out extra so a win is poss

 

[happypig]

I'll love it if we win it with a dodgy penalty, claim back the 2 points they owe us

 

[hola gus]

We will beat them convincinly i have no doubt about it.

 

[Quickfire Double]

Morning Seagulls! Congratulations on a fine win at the weekend. With us failing to beat Notts County, I was pleased to see points taken off the chasing pack!!

Expect Bournemouth to drop off at a fair rate now Howe's gone. Looking at a 2 goal win for you boys...

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Even though it was only 1-0, we were comfortably in control of the home game....until they were gifted a point by inept officialdom.
So...an outrageously dodgy penalty in the 93rd minute would do the trick for me.
Take 1-1 but no reason why we can't win. The timing couldn't be better, with Mr. Popular walking out on them.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I want to be out of sight before we are awarded a late "cherry on the top" penalty.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Would take a point now - but the events there can only have been in our favour I think. I can't see them getting a "new manager bounce" with an internal appointment.

Only concern I have is that having lost their manager their players may raise their game. But on the evidence of the home game against them, I fancy 1-0 to us with the goal coming from a penalty (poetic justice)... To be fair if we win and win our games in hand, as someone quite rightly posted the "so called big games in March may be immaterial. Here's hoping, oh and one last thing.....Norwich p""s off, your just a little town with city status just outside Suffolk

Hope we can get a win there. Hoping that they will be slightly unsettled after the departure of Eddie Howe.

I think this is a decent chance

 

[Beach Hut]

I think this is a winnable game with our current form

 

[tonymgc]

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.
