 Welcome to the first preview show of the week here at Vitality Stadium. I'm joined by my colleague Neil Perrett as we look ahead to a busy seven days. Here's a look at what's coming up today. We'll be looking back at last weekend's game against Manchester City and then we'll be turning our attention to tomorrow's game against Forest Green Rovers. Well we're going to start back at Sunday's game and Neil it was a 3-1 defeat but there were plenty of positives to take, weren't there? I think it was a very, very encouraging performance, I'm sure the manager will take a lot of heart. As he said in his press conference, we competed with City. Obviously the game last season, at the end of last season when we lost 1-0 we didn't have a shot and obviously there was a few people criticising the performance then but as the manager pointed out there was a lot of injuries that day and it needs must effectively but the performance on Sunday was like I said he'll take a great deal of heart from that going into a tough game against Forest Green and then Leicester of course back in the Premier League. A fantastic goal from Harry Wilson, second goal. He looks like a real, I say find, I mean he's been found already by Liverpool but a great signing for us, lots of potential there. Obviously on the downside we've got to wait and see how Charlie Daniels is going to be because that was so sad to see him go down like that, he's had such a traumatic year. Obviously he lost his dad, had his knee injury on the other knee which was one fortunate thing about it but we'll just have to wait and see how he comes through this. And we'll come onto that, that Harry Wilson free kick in a bit but we really had a go didn't we, we had a great chance for Adam Smith and Callum Wilson went through 1-1 even Dominic Slanky at the end. Yeah I mean if you know on another day if one of those goes in all of a sudden it might you know you could go for 2-2 and then all of a sudden we've got our first point off Man City the only team that we haven't got a point off in the Premier League you know I think that you know I think it will come okay you know there's not many teams that are going to get points off Manchester City this season you know let's not forget that and lots of teams are going to get beaten heavily beaten by them because you know they're looking really really good again but you know we almost went toe to toe with them and that's probably the first time since we've played them in the Premier League so like I say building on the Aston Villa win and encouraging performance against Manchester City to take into the next Premier League game and then also to take into tomorrow night against Forest Green and it's worth mentioning Kyle Walker as well he picked up a yellow card early on and there was another tackle that arguably if he wasn't on a yellow could well have been another one I've been thinking about this over the weekend you know and it goes back to when we used to play football at school and the schoolmaster said guys that very first tackle in the first couple of minutes be as hard as you like and as dirty as you like because you're never going to get booked in the first few minutes and that was a prime example of that however whatever he did done he was never going to get booked and we've all seen it back again and we know quite clearly it was a yellow card and gets the second yellow card later and off he goes 10 men completely different game and let's talk about that Harry Wilson free kick it's absolutely spectacular and perfect timing just before the break it's incredible you watched it so many times and it just stands there and he's so nonchalant and so cool and you're thinking surely surely you know I know what's coming up and I'm thinking surely you're not going to be able to just put it in that top corner right in that little square in the corner where you know the really good free kick takers always find that corner and he just found it and you know it gave everybody a real lift on the stroke of half time and they carried that into the second half and they played really well in the first 20-25 minutes of the second half and like I said you know on another day a goal then different story and that free kick it was right in the top corner wasn't it it came off the bar and went in and that was the only pace he could hit it wasn't it yeah exactly I mean to beat a goalkeeper of Edison's you know calibre there won't be many people doing that this season I can assure you certainly not in the Premier League maybe internationally it might be different but you know what a fantastic dead ball specialist that we've got there not that we didn't have one before him but you know goalkeepers now are going to be on their guard when he steps up from 25-30 yards with a free kick situation no question and for his confidence as well you know that's two goals in two weeks and as you say not not fine because Liverpool have already found him but for us he's a perfect fit isn't he yeah I mean everybody you know he was well talked about you know there was a lot of speculation about where he was going to go here or there obviously he thought that game time would be limited at Liverpool which is understandable because they're absolutely you know going to be flying again we've already seen that you know Liverpool and Man City are going to be the two teams to catch again I think and he's obviously had a good hard think about it and thought you know he's obviously seen other players come here from Premier League clubs get game time and go back and establish themselves and that's the path that he'll be looking to take and you mentioned Charlie Daniels earlier absolutely heartbreaking when he went down he was in obvious pain straight away and I think we all knew that it was something quite serious yeah I sat down with Charlie last week and did a one-to-one interview with him in one of the executive boxes here and you know he was very candid about the last 12 months obviously he lost his father to cancer in February and he had an injury where he damaged his kneecap in training at the end of last season fortunately like I said it was the different knee but you know talking to him last week he was really buoyant and really upbeat and you know wanted to put a terrible 12 months behind him and then the life of a footballer there you are you know all of a sudden no one really anywhere near him he just fell awkwardly landed awkwardly on that other knee and you know like you said it was heartbreaking to see him getting carried off obviously fantastic for Manchester City fans to join the Bournemouth fans you know with clapping him as he was as he was stretched it off but I think we've all really really got our fingers crossed for Charlie because you know if you know him he's such a nice guy and he just does not deserve what he's had to put to go through absolutely and you know he's known the process and he's been through that long process of getting the one knee right and now it looks like he's got it all ahead of him we're obviously waiting to hear what Eddie Howe has to say in his press conference as we speak but it doesn't look too good does it? Well I don't know yet I don't know I mean I read stories that he was rushed to hospital this that and the other but then all of a sudden we're saying that no he was back at the ground watching the second half so let's wait and see let's not second guess you know he's been through it before there's other people in the treatment room who are going through long injuries as well so you know if it's another long one he's got people to inspire him and he's done it before the fingers crossed it's not and it might just be you know days rather than weeks or months and we're seeing back on the pitch very very soon absolutely well our attention now turns to tomorrow's game against forest green rovers let's take a look at what Eddie Howe had to say in his pre-match press conference we have no official update yet I think he's seeing someone tomorrow for a scan on the knee and a full analysis of what's happened until that time I can't give you any update we have done well in the competition in recent seasons and we've shown a really good attitude to these types of games which are incredibly difficult and I think if you don't mentally approach the game in the right way they can be even more difficult the first challenge for us is to make sure that we're very professional in everything that we're doing approach the game in the right way having seen them and watched them and analysed them we know it's going to be a difficult game compliments to Mark Cooper and the job that he's done there and they're playing some really good football at the moment so I know it's going to be a tough challenge with such a quick turnaround between games I mean obviously we've got Leicester very quickly after I feel we will have to rotate our squad give opportunities to some players who are desperate to show how good they are so I'm looking forward to seeing them play Well that was Eddie Howell speaking this morning in his pre-match press conference Neil, it's the Carabao Cup and a competition in the last two years that we've not done badly in done very very well I mean and those Bournemouth supporters with longer memories will know that it was a competition the league cup as it is and the record before Eddie Howell came back if you like was awful we hardly ever got past the first round and even the second round when it used to be two legs and stuff like that had some good games but for years and years and years never got into the third round and then all of a sudden two years on the trot to reach the quarter finals is a magnificent achievement get drawn away at Chelsea both years you know beaten but not disgraced in both games you know it's very close so you know hopefully we can go two better this season and you know get in the final and Forrest Green of course they're in league too but what do we know about them they're quite unique aren't they they're very unique in fact I think it's the world's first vegan football club they've got an organic pitch they've got a robotic mower to mow the pitch they've got electric cars at the ground they're owned by this guy who's you know well into the he owns like an energy company I've spoken to a couple of ex-players Jamie Day and Wade Elliott who were at Bournemouth who have experienced working for Forrest Green Rovers coaching side in recent years and I've done a small article in tomorrow's programme about that their thoughts on how the club is run and how different it is to work there but irrespective of everything that's going on off the pitch at Forrest Green Rovers you've just got to look at how they started this season they've done very very well beaten in the playoffs semi-final by Tramir who went on to win promotion last season they're a really progressive club when you look back I think it was about 1982 they were playing in the Hellenic League which locally people would put on par with the Wessex League which is like step six of the non-league level so to come from that league in 1982 to be in league two now I think they've been in a couple of years is a remarkable climb and obviously they're in league two now but they're third in league two as well so they started the season really strongly haven't they very strongly they've got some very very good players they've got an exceptionally good manager who I don't like to tell you this he reminded an FA cup-shock against Bournemouth when he was manager of Tamworth in 2005 that was here they were non-league then I think it was Tamworth's first win over a league club since about 1969 so Mark Cooper the manager is bringing Forrest Green back here he'll certainly have fond memories of coming back here so fingers crossed the lightning won't strike twice and for Eddie how it's an opportunity for him to give some other players a run out as well isn't it well that's what the manager's done every other year so we'll remain to be seen let's not second-guess his team but I'm sure that there will be a number of changes a number of players who are desperate to show what they can do well we know what they can do but they'll be desperate to get on the pitch and this will be a fantastic opportunity for them to showcase themselves in front of the manager ahead of Leicester if he chooses to if he needs to make changes, if Charlie's not fit there's going to be an opening somewhere along the lines so who knows but it's a fantastic fantastic game and we're at home as well you know it's going to be a packed stadium so I think all the makings are being a really good cup tie you mentioned being at home it's always nice to have a home draw in the cup especially in midweek one for the players you then have to go away to Leicester on the weekend yeah it wasn't that long ago if I remember right driving up to somewhere like Morecom or something like that for one of these Morecom Preston as well it's been a few up there unfortunately it's a little bit more north south now which is very very sensible particularly for the early rounds so it's a lot better all the way up to Morecom for a lead cup second round tie midweek it was ridiculous so it's a lot better for us better for Forrest Green now going to bring a decent amount of fans because it's not too far from a lovely lovely part of the country a couple of hours at the most so like I said it could be a cracking cup tie and for them it's an exciting tie as well you know when it was announced reading through the comments on the Twitter their fans were really looking forward to it and as you say it promises to be a really good tie I mean you know it's the David Vega life situation isn't it League 2 they're going really well in League 2 coming to a Premier League club who are going well in the Premier League it wasn't that long ago that we were locking horns with Forrest Green on a level playing field I remember we played them in the FA Cup a few years back so they're going to they'll certainly come and give it a good go I mean I know speaking to Wade Elliott about Mark Coopers the way he likes to play he certainly won't be coming in Park in the bus and sitting behind the ball they'll certainly go for it so that's why I think it has the makings of being an entertaining affair and for Bournemouth obviously it's going to be a tough game but if they can get through to the third round then it's really another sense of positivity going into the weekend it might just be a cup game but a win really does breathe confidence doesn't it well it's you want to stay in every cup competition for as long as you can you want to win a cup competition I mean you know I'm trying to remember if we want a cup competition you know racking my brains I know we went into the auto wintergreen shield final we didn't win that you know we got into the quarter final of this for the past couple of years you know if the manager's going to make some changes there's no reason why that team can't progress in this competition we've proved it in the last two seasons you know even a much changed Bournemouth team against the forest green team should have enough to beat them but as we've seen in this competition it's all about on the day it's all about one-offs there's been shops already so let's just make sure that we're not one of those absolutely well it's going to be a very exciting game here at Vitality Stadium tomorrow if you are coming then we hope you enjoy your visit with us but if you're not make sure you keep an eye across all of our social media channels for the latest updates bye for now
