 Hello and welcome to another preview show here at a very sunny Vitality Stadium. We've had a two-week break but myself and matchday commentator Chris Temple will be going through all things AFC Bournemouth in the next half an hour or so. Let's take a look at what's coming up. We'll be looking back at that 2-2 draw against Newcastle here at Vitality Stadium. We'll be discussing all of our internationals and where they've been playing over the last week. And finally we'll be looking ahead to tomorrow's game against Leicester at the King Power Stadium. But first let's start back at that 2-2 draw against Newcastle here at Vitality Stadium. Let's remind ourselves of the short highlights. He's down and Solomon Ronddon curls on over the top of the cherries. Delivers across towards the 6 yard area. Ake is waiting. He's gone down under the challenge there from Fernandez. And Mike Dean points to the spot. Bournemouth have a penalty. High fives for Nathan Ake from Jefferson Lerner and Callum Wilson from the penalty spot. King sends the bracket the wrong way, gets the Vitality Stadium up on their feet. They conceded late in the first half. They have levelled things up early in the second. It's Joshua King from the spot. It's born with one, Newcastle one. Now Joshua King could strive forward in the rain into the Newcastle half. Lays it off towards Wilson. He's just beaten to the ball by Fernandez. But then it's given away. Solanki is there. Thinks about pulling the trigger the first time. Hesitates. Lays it back towards Joshua King. Cherries in front from a goal down here at the Vitality Stadium. And that was brilliant. Patient play from Dom Solanki. Bought about the shot, decided against it. Layed it off to the onrushing King. He has a brace. It's Bournemouth two, Newcastle one. It's a Yedlin. Yedlin with a cross in towards the back post. Drops to Maricci. Who volleys the ball into the top corner. The roof of the net. Boris got a touch on it but it wasn't enough. And Bournemouth can't hold on for the three points. Newcastle scoring stoppage time at the end of the first half. And they score in stoppage time at the end of the second to level this game up in any how. Rolls his eyes and looks to the clouds. The away supporters are going nuts. It's Bournemouth two, Newcastle two. Last minute equaliser from Matt Ritchie there. Chris it was a game that was pretty similar to last year. A 2-2 score line but unfortunately Newcastle scoring at the death of the stones. Yeah I think Bournemouth would be pretty sick of seeing Newcastle this season. Cos obviously the performance up there and in the season wasn't very good and three crucial points weren't begging then and obviously here two weren't begging in the last few seconds. You know absolute corking goal by Matt Ritchie. We've seen him do it in a Bournemouth shirt and unfortunately this time it was in a Newcastle shirt. But yeah frustrating having come from behind to get yourself in front at home as well against a team below you in the table having just found a bit of momentum from the Huddersfield game as well when things looked like they clicked back into gear. So that was a real good opportunity to just keep that ball rolling really and heading into this last chunk of the season. So yeah really frustrating to see it slip away. Eddie was pretty honest afterwards. It wasn't the team's best performance of the season but again it's a cliche we've said it a number of times if you're not playing brilliantly but still putting yourself pretty much within the chance of victory then it's not all bad but as it turned out it was two points slipping away right at the end. It looked like it could be another comeback obviously being 1-0 down then going 2-1 up we've seen it so many times before. Yeah exactly and going 1-0 down at home we've seen teams fold in the past and we've seen Bournemouth fold in the past not in the recent history. We were tagged for a while unfortunately it was Newcastle doing the comeback if you like but yeah ultimately there was a lot of players who were coming back into form all of a sudden we'll talk about internationalism in a minute but the front players are all scoring and contributing which is building well for the rest of the season now so yeah I guess the positive was they did come back from behind and put themselves in with a chance of getting three but ultimately yeah Mr Richie. And Joshua King another two goals for him of course he scored two on international duty as well he's in great form isn't he? Yeah he's flying at the moment and that you know really really important as well with Callan Wilson having been out of the team for a while and only just coming back and obviously finding his way back you know with those three goals in successive games scoring Huddersfield as well Joshua King as you say is becoming Norway's key player really he's you know scoring both of their internationals so I think when you've got Ryan Fraser and obviously David Brooks you know both of the wing guys are contributing goals and assists as well both scoring I'm hoping that's that's sort of a real positive leading into this last section of the season. And of course as you said it could have been three points but another point on the board against Newcastle team that let's not forget we're in very good form going into the game. Yeah I mean that shouldn't be forgotten Newcastle have sort of turned it around they've had a difficult season and they seem to have had a couple of difficult season sort of back to back really I guess the frustration is that Bournemouth could be sitting there now on 40 points and probably should be sat on 40 points which is sort of that notional mark that everybody absolutely turns off the and also you know puts you a lot closer to that seventh place than it does now I mean seventh is looking at all order now to be honest with you I know it's you know mathematically it's possible I think Eddie said this morning to me that they would have to go on a really good run and hope that other teams above them start to stumble to finish seventh but there are you know there are many other things still on the radar including one we've been talking about for three or four weeks now which is the best of a points tally nine points needed from 21 to get there so yeah regrettable that the team aren't a couple of points further up the ladder if you like it's a very American term ladder sorry but yeah it's all in all a points better than them and as you say it's worth mentioning obviously there was a two week break going into you know after the Newcastle game and it important not to lose going into that and confidence can still be there yeah I think if anything the two week breaks probably helps in terms of like shaking off that Newcastle result as well because everyone's been here there and everywhere obviously the team you know have been a way to do by before that as well so it's been a sort of a bitty two or three weeks really so I guess it's not as if they've been sat over the international break for two weeks stewing on the Newcastle result of course a few players are going to have been around and are going to have been sort of disappointed by it but I think we've learnt this group seem to move on pretty quickly so yeah if anything the international break with everybody disappearing off to all corners you know probably helped to get over that I think well after that Newcastle game the squad headed off to do by let's take a little look at what they got up to well that was the team heading out to Dubai to do some warm weather training Chris we've seen them do it before and traditionally it's seen them have a really strong end to the season coming back from this Dubai break haven't they so hope it works again then in that case yeah I mean it's good for the players who haven't gone away on international duty you know quite a small select group these days because there are so many who do go away so it's important I guess you know at this stage of the season when you've been training since what July when they came out of a pre-season I think a change of scenery is useful you know whether it's worth the money or not we'll find out as you say over the next couple of months or so and I know fans have mixed views about it but I think you know if you saw the players coming in every single day to the same training ground you do need to freshen up particularly the international players always have a little trip away and a little fresh challenge to I guess to aim for so for the players who aren't involved in international I think it's important and also they get some hard work done as well you know it's different conditions you know just a little bit of a fitness burst and they'll be managing it as well because it has been a long season so although they can sort of sharpen up for this last run they don't want to be slogging them into the ground because players are they will be starting to feel the season by this point of the campaign as well so you know from the pictures we just saw it looks like it was a profitable trip unfortunately you and I didn't get invited maybe next year and of course we saw Lewis Cook and Simon Francis players that have had long term injuries out there working hard for them that must have been really nice to have that change of scenery although I think they've been sort of out and doing different things in different places already but yeah just to be back around the squad and feeling part of it again I know they're here every day but you know they're often training on their own in the gym thing so yeah it looked really good to see them back and sort of stepping things up to Lewis Cook who I know is sort of tweeted this week or posted on Instagram how good it was to be taking big steps forward now and of course it's going to be a long summer for those guys because they're continuing to rehabilitate whereas other players will be literally on the beach I'm sure so mentally it will be important they do get a break as well but the work won't stop for those guys and even the likes of Junior Stanislaus, Adam Smith let's not forget you know I think Adam Smith is probably a little bit ahead of schedule now coming back from his problems so hopefully we'll see him in the next couple of weeks and Junior Stanislaus you know we know his problems in the past so it would be good to see him back in the next couple of weeks hopefully as well and for those who didn't go to Dubai they're obviously off on international duty and it's been quite a good international break for our players obviously we've talked about Joshua King scoring two goals and Callum Wilson became the first Cherry's player to get a competitive appearance for England as well. Yeah becoming the most capped Cherry's player with two for England in a senior international it was really good for him to get off the bench as well because obviously the way the games went you thought he might get off the bench in the first game but you know it was good in the second one to get some minutes I mean when you look at the list of international actually there was a couple of key ones to point out I mean David Brooks we've got a nod towards him winning the Wales senior and young player of the year at the same time we think in case people are wondering if he's not been noticed he's been noticed Ryan Fraser was you know he's come in for a bit of stick actually and the manager in his press conference today was you know and actually in his interview with me was very quick to defend Ryan Fraser and say it wasn't Ryan Fraser's decision not to play against Kazakhstan for those who weren't aware of that he chose not to play at Kazakhstan because they have a plastic pitch basically and because of his injury record he sort of didn't make himself available for that game now Scotland of course lost the game which was probably the worst possible situation for Fraser all-round but anyhow I was keen to point out it was a collective decision that he didn't play worried about his injury record he also pointed out that if it was a training session with Bournemouth on a plastic pitch Ryan Fraser wouldn't take part which I think tells us all we need to know so obviously he played a part in the San Marino win a couple of others to mention Dom Selankey obviously here scoring captain in the under 21s which is great and he's had a bit of a stop-start season to his start to his Bournemouth career so I think that was important for him Mark Travers I should mention as well the bench for the Irish senior squad for the first time as we've said before highly rated here interesting summer coming up goalkeeping wise I think here so that would have been great for him to be in and around that squad they won as well he was shared a bench with Harry Arthur and Jefferson Lermer I think we should mention as well because he's actually played for Columbia for the first time since the World Cup last summer it's not been totally clear why he hasn't been involved I mean there's been no sort of no guess call from Eddie how to leave him out because of the travelling or anything to being in England or anything like that so he just didn't seem to be selected for whatever reason so he played in Japan in their friendly against Japan which was good for him as well I think he deserved that call-up as well so yeah a huge this Nathan Ackay was probably the only disappointment he didn't get off the bench for Holland but he's behind Van Dijk and deligged at the moment which is a real tough central defensive combination to get past and just going back to Ryan Fraser there obviously when he did play against Samarino we saw him get yet another assist so that will be perfect for his confidence coming back into the Premier League season yeah absolutely he's another one who he admitted himself after the Huddersfield game he had a bit of a lull in the season but the fflair players will have lulls you can't be at the top level every single week he's had a brilliant season absolutely fantastic and the one thing he wanted to point out to us after the game at Huddersfield was that his goals get overlooked a little bit everyone talks about his assist and you just mentioned it there for Scotland as well but he's been contributing goals for Scotland down for Bournemouth as well so I think that's been a key part of his game he did at Huddersfield of course as well so yeah I think he'll be keen to add a couple more goals to his tally ageing up possibly towards double figures maybe if I'm being a bit ambitious I don't know but yeah I think he was harshly treated by the Scottish fans to be honest you probably only know half the story and maybe when they read Eddie Howe's comments after today's press comments they'll probably hopefully be slightly placated and just touching on Dominic Slanky again how much of a psychological boost can it be now that he's scored here at Vitality Stadium and it can hopefully kick him on for the rest of the season yeah another sort of milestone ticked off isn't it next thing to do is to score here in a Bournemouth shirt but I think you know there's that little bit extra expectation on you when you are the local player if you like you're doing all the pre-match interviews in the England camp I guess he's on the front of the programme he's probably on the posters as well trying to sell tickets so there is that little bit of expectation and particularly if somebody is quite new here as well he's not as if he's a local favourite yet so I think scoring was important it was nice to see him leading the team out he played well as well he had difficult first half Germany were obviously better in the first half but I think you know I think you are a man of the match as well so all in all it was a good night's work for him his problem now is that King and Wilson are playing so well that opportunities in the team for him are going to be few and far between I think between now and the end of the season absolutely well next up for the cherries the attention turns to Leicester City in the Premier League it's quite the afternoon here earlier in the season so let's remind ourselves of what happened well what an afternoon that was here at Vitality Stadium Chris they'll be hoping very much for a similar outcome tomorrow won't they? it was a scintillating performance for most of the game obviously I know Eddie's like with his standards he was disappointed to concede two at the end because it gave Leicester a slightly flattering gloss but I mean I did a piece on BBC Radio Leicester this week and they talk about that game as probably their worst performance of the season Bournemouth obviously played very well so yes more of that would be lovely Leicester have just turned a corner there haven't they unfortunately probably at the wrong time Brenda and Roger's coming in three wins out of four since replacing Claude Puell three points ahead of Bournemouth in the table at the moment so right in that little shake up for top half finishes possibly finishing 7th or 8th so from that point of view it's quite an important game if Leicester win this weekend then I would think Bournemouth will struggle to catch them this season but anything a draw or a win keeps them right within distance the thing I like about Leicester all of a sudden is that they've gone in the past down the foreign route a lot of foreign players have come in but actually look at the backbone of their team these days I know Harry Maguire suspended this weekend Maguire and Chillwell who are both in the England team Vardy of course would be in the England team probably but retired you think of the likes of Damari Grey who is linked here James Madison a number of Leicester players who all of a sudden have come through the backbone of their team so I guess you can draw comparisons with what Eddie's doing here with young British players and that's encouraging to see and I think that will connect Leicester fans sort of back with their team again they felt a bit disillusioned I think under Claude Puell which that locked down the road across the New Forest so Leicester will resonate with them but yeah Leicester are back in form at a bad time and the two teams Leicester and Bournemouth they've had kind of neck and neck seasons haven't they sometimes you know Leicester just ahead of Bournemouth Bournemouth just ahead of Leicester so it promises to be quite a tight game yeah and you think you know and let's not forget worth of mentioning what a difficult season Leicester have had off the pitch as well with the tragic news from a few months back so memorial service I think took place in Thailand this week so a few of their sort of club staff and people have been out to that as well so yeah it's been a difficult season for Leicester in a number of ways but yeah on the pitch I mean Claude Puell he was seventh in the table and still getting pelters from people so I sort of think back to Sean O'Driscoll here and I hope Sean's not watching this because people talk about your sort of your public PR persona and the one thing that Sean O'Driscoll I don't think ever managed to quite get across was sort of that PR public side to sort of get fans on side if you like so I think Claude Puell had the same sort of problems really in terms of you know he never is sort of public the side of him was never it never sounded that excited about much and the football sometimes was a bit bland I'm not saying Sean's football here was bland at all he played good football but yeah I think that came back to haunt Claude Puell so in Brenda Rogers they've got a guy who's probably quite relieved to come away from the goldfish bowl of Celtic had some success there great for him now another chance in the Premier League hopefully building back towards maybe getting another big job in the future and you mentioned earlier Harry Maguire's obviously going to be out of the game got sent off against Burnley just a couple of weeks ago how much of a boost for the cherries can that be you know they've already scored four against Leicester this season so let alone when they're without one of their top defenders yeah I mean he's been you know credit to him he stayed at Leicester this season I mean he over the summer after the World Cup he had could easily have moved on I think but you know Leicester said they wanted to keep him so he stayed and got his head down lasted four minutes against Burnley I think before getting sent off so you'd imagine that Wes Morgan will probably come in chances restricted but yeah so I guess in terms of losing your England centre back that's got to be a blow but Wes Morgan has proved himself to be a very good performer he's probably coming towards the end of his you know being a top level defender he's probably got a couple of years left but you know he's got a new deal I think at Leicester so he's a more than able replacement but yeah it's not ideal of course for Leicester to lose an England centre half and you mentioned the likes of Vardy Madison they've got some really good young talent in their team don't they I think Terry's fans would have loved to have seen him here he was here obviously the other night playing for England under 21s he's a frightening player when he gets going that is for sure Madison I think he's made a huge breakthrough this season right on the fringe of the England squad at the moment you know would be I think won't be far away at all from the coming months of being in that Vardy of course is up and down I think he's more up at the minute than down he seems to have been revitalised by life under Brendon Rogers so yeah attacking wise even if you think of people like Mark Albrighton who's been out of a team recently but he's been a great servant for a long time so yeah they've got a real good English hub of attacking players and quite a few that will give Bournemouth a few problems tomorrow and in terms of our team use positive signs after quite a tough few weeks with injuries dangles things have been training and junior Stanislaus has been training too Adam Smith let's not forget as well everybody from international seems to have come back fit which is good and as you say those guys junior Stanislaus they treat you with a little bit with kid gloves because we've seen what happens before he breaks down if he comes back too early so I think they just don't want to see him going into the summer injured basically so you know get someone like him absolutely right before he comes back Adam Smith looked like he was going to be struggling for a while but I think he is potentially maybe one or two weeks away which would be good Steve Cook as I said before I don't think we're going to see again this season and Dan Gosling obviously has had one or two little niggles this season as well which is seeing David Brooks playing in Centrum and Field a couple of times just short of other options but it's interesting to see how he goes tomorrow whether if Dan Gosling is fit and Andrew Serman is available whether David Brooks continues in that central role with other wide players available Jordan and I have obviously played last time out so yeah a couple of little interesting selection choices for Eddie absolutely well it's going to be a very exciting game indeed if you are going up to Leicester then we hope you have a safe journey but if not make sure you listen to Chris on live commentary on AFC TV thanks for joining us
