[Albion] RDZ's pre-Bournemouth press conference

[Bozza]

...kicked off at 12:30.

Keen to hear updates on Dunk and Ferguson - he sounded hopeful last night that they'll be available on Sunday.

 

[Bozza]

Groß a doubt for Sunday.

RDZ says he is more concerned about injuries than results right now.

[Bozza]

We will make a lot of changes for Sunday.

(Good)

Not quite so optimistic today it seems.

Fucks sake

 

[Bozza]

Fucks sake

On the plus side, for you at least, Milner is also a doubt.

 

[dwayne]

Bmuff drawn with Chelsea , ham and Brentford (away) already this season.

With key players seemingly out this is suddenly looking tricky.

 

[Bozza]

No decision on keeper yet.

Will toss a coin on Sunday morning to decide.

I may have made the second bit up.

Sorry to be a buzzkill, but I am far less confident about Bournemouth this week than I was about Utd last weekend.

It's not just the injuries...

Bournemouth have looked better than their results would suggest so far this season.

They will also have had a whole week to prepare compared to 2 days for us. Thursday evening fixtures are well-renowned for having a significant impact on EPL team performances/results for the following gameweek and this will be our first experience of having to handle this.

So lots of changes , no Ferguson, gross, Milner, will be pretty much everyone on the bench who did and didn’t come on then in the team- with maybe an U21 player or two.

Could do without the Chelsea league cup game next Wednesday

 

[Bridcutt]

Sounds like Baleba will make his debut based on what he said

Ferguson could play, but maybe off the bench.
Think Gross was due a rest anyway.
Sure we’ll play some fringe players against Chelsea.

 

[Napper]

hope so , we need this kid to provide some drive and power and prove he is another option for us

 

[doogie004]

Dunk a doubt

 

[Gazwag]

Missing Dunk is massive, we don't tick, our build up play is massively lacking without him

5.0 draw and 7.0 away win, hmm

No need to apologise. Most of us couldn't give a monkey's about your confidence levels.

Very good value. Bmuff dont have many Injuries either.

I thought they played really well at the Amex last season, really up for it, and were unlucky to finally succumb to that late Mitoma goal. Total opposite to Fulham, for instance, who came to defend and nicked a result.

Blimey there's some doom mongers on here. Reminds me of some of the comments when our starting line up for Man Utd came out last weekend...
