 It seems to be a superb evening for Alan Connell's young side here at Vitality Stadium. Matt, these nights are always very, very special here at Vitality Stadium under the lights. FA Youth Cup, third round, fourth round, fifth round, whatever it is. It's a huge evening for these players and their families and their friends, and they're all in the stadium here tonight watching them. It's going to be a memorable night for them, hopefully. We know that there is the lure of a home draw in the fourth, in the fifth round as well. It's against either Leicester or Crue, who are playing on Friday, so it's really, really all to play for. And you have to say, although there's a category difference between the two clubs, I don't think there's a great deal between them actually in terms of on the pitch. The last time these two teams met, it was a three-all draw back in October, so hopefully we'll be bringing you plenty of goals live across all platforms this evening. We'll bring you some team news for the cherries, so we'll start off in goal with Oli Camus. It's a flat-back four of Archie Harris, Lewis Brown, Owen Bevan, the captain, and Finn Tonks at right back. A midfield three of Ferdinand Occo, Marcus Dawes and Ben Winterburn, and a front three of Noah Bhutan, Dana Duage and Michael de Costa-González. Neil, team news is in. If you could pick one player who perhaps could stand out this evening, give us your thoughts on who that may be. Well, I was very fortunate to attend the third round game at Exeter last month. It was a 2-0 win for the cherries that night, Michael de Costa-Gordon, Michael de Costa-González, apologies. It was the first time I'd seen him and he looked very, very lively, still only 16 as well. Matt, I am going to have a little bit of a Chris Temple moan at this stage about those Queen's Park Rangers numbers because we have not got a hope of making them out. I think we've given Chris Temple enough stick this season for that, so fair play Chris, we'll fill your pain here this evening. Just some QPR team news as well. It's Salomon in goal, a back four of Bagan, Harroch, Hawkins and Anthony. Duage, Cotter, Hamid and Balla in midfield with Murphy and Issa playing in attacking roles for Rangers this evening. It should be a really interesting game here. Like we've said before, it was three all the last time these two teams met in a friendly back in October. And Neil, this is a really special night here at Vitality Stadium. Yeah, let's put a little bit of context on the two teams. Like I said, we're category three. We play in the EFL Youth Alliance. Queen's Park Rangers play in the second division of the Premier League under 18 division. So it is a much better league. They have only had two wins and they beat Oldham in the last round as well. So you suggest on paper that they're slightly ahead of us in terms of some things, but let's see, shall we? Just as we get started here, we'd just like to give a huge thank you to our sponsors, Herne and Sons this evening. They're our matchday sponsor. They're sponsoring our streaming coverage here. So whether you're watching on YouTube, Facebook or Twitter, we'd like to give them a huge thank you for helping us with our streaming project this evening. As QPR, I've had the majority of the ball here in the early exchanges. It's with Ferdinand Occo. It's a bit loose at the back here, but Owen Bevin with a really good pass. The skipper to Archie Harris. He's wearing the number 10 shirt. Has no Arbuton. Steams past his man. Drives into the penalty area. It's Buton. Cuts inside. Addua J goes down. Referee doesn't give a penalty there. Didn't look interested at all. But that just shows what new Arbuton is all about, Neil. Searing pace. Not only just Noah Buton, the way that they played the ball out from the back there, Lewis Brown looked under a little bit of pressure when he got the ball. And Bevin's down the line to Archie Harris. And like he said, Noah Buton. Fantastic run. Just unfortunate that Daniela J could not get it out of his feet. I'm really enjoying the fact that two uncultured men such as us have happened to pronounce the name Noah Buton. Noah Buton, the first French player to play for the academy, as well, Matt, I believe. Signed in 2020, and yes, he is the first ever Frenchman to represent our academy. The Costa Gonzalez to Tox. Lo Balli and Addua J. With less than two minutes into this FA Youth Cup game, and you can see how much that goal means to him. It's a predator's finish at the near post. And AFC Bournemouth have taken a super... ...has taken a really early lead here. It's a sensational move. Finn Tonks on the right-hand side, Neil. And it was a really good finish from Addua J. One-nil here. I've got that down at one minute and 40 seconds, Matt. Like you said, after that enterprising breakdown on the left-hand side from Noah Buton, it was a similarly fantastic run down the right-hand side. A low zipping cross, horrible to defend in these conditions. And like you say, Daniela J. who was there at the near post. It's his 11th goal of the season in competitive games, just tripled over the line, but what a great start. The perfect start for Alan Connell's side here. It was that perfect, Neil. I couldn't even get my words out on commentary. A brilliant start, exactly what the doctor ordered. And it's one-nil here to the Cherries early on. It's the difficulty between flitting between French and English, Matt. Brilliant. Good banter from you, Neil, as the Costa Gonzalez has a ball on the right-hand side. He'll be a real threat this evening. Scored twice against Exeter in the last round, as Neil mentioned there. And one of his goals was nominated for the Strategic Solutions Goal of the Month Award, which is some really good going here. It's Bevan now. His pass is just intercepted. It's now Harris. And just to bring you into what's going on here in the press box, I'm absolutely delighted to say we've not got one club legend here now. We've got two club legends. Neil Perret and myself are honored to be joined by Tommy Elfic here. Tommy, thanks for joining us on commentary. But before we join you, Tommy, Mr Costa Gonzalez cuts inside. Can he get a shot away? He can! Just over. He pounds the floor in anguish. He should have done better. But a really good flowing move there, and he shows what a real threat he is, Tommy. This is your first bit of commentary for us, and you've just seen that shot just go over. Yeah, exciting. Sorry I'm late. I've missed the goal. We won Neil up. Alconor was planning on a fast start, so sorry I missed it. But yeah, a great bit of skill by Michael. That's him in a nutshell, really. Very dynamic, quick. Certainly one to look forward to for the future. QPR. Cherries will be looking for a fifth round tie against Leicester or crew here at Vitality Stadium. Should the scoreline stay the same? The best ever run in the competition was actually in 2019 when they reached the quarter-finals. Fortunately beaten by a very, very strong Manchester Cityside here at Vitality Stadium. And Neil, we also reached the FA Cup quarter-finals in 1959. You were how old back then? I thought you might bring me in to discuss that one, Matt. Just quite then, but I think they went out to the eventual winners that year in Sunderland a long time ago, and like you said, to take another 50 years to get into the quarter-finals just shows you what a fantastic achievement it is, Matt. Neil actually played in that game. He was an apprentice at the time. And the Cherries have kept the ball very nicely here, and have had much the better of the opening exchanges. QPR will look to wrestle control back of the ball. Now, Bagan to Dougie. QPR will look to get a move started from the back. Tommy, we'll just bring you in here. Obviously, these players will be on your radar in your role in the under-23s. What are you looking for tonight from our under-18s, lads here? Obviously, it's for a lot of them. Apart from Ben Winterburn, I think you obviously played in the last Premier League Cup game. This would be their first exposure to playing at the stadium in front of what looks a quite healthy crowd for a FA Youth Cup game. So just to see if they can deal with that, really. I think talking from experience usually start cramping up in about 78 minutes in these sort of ties. It'll be interesting to see who it gets the better of and who it doesn't, but there's certainly made a bright start, and as I said with the likes of Michael D'Costa and Daniel and Ben Winterburn, Owen Bevan and another one, they've been up with us quite a lot this year, so just a steady performance and not let the occasion get the better of them, really. And it has to be cleared there by Brown in a hurry. Cherries won't deviate from their philosophy here tonight. They will look to play up from the back at every occasion. It's a pagan now for the visitors. Doogie has to drop a shoulder pass to Costa Gonzalez, but good defending from Fin Tonks there. It's the better of Doogie and wins a free kick. Something really well there for his player I've actually liked. I've not seen a lot of him, but I watched our Connell's team train a few times. He's a very technically clean player and good to see him one in that sort of situation there as well. He dealt with that really well. Like you say there, Tommy, it is a healthy crowd. Neil, how much of an impact does that have on the players? Do you feel? Well, home advantage is crucial. It doesn't really matter how many people are here. I mean, like I said earlier, it's all family, friends, girlfriends, etc. and stuff like that. So these guys will be here to put on a show, but you can say the same that Queen's Park Rangers have probably bought a few people down as well. It's a big night for their team as well. They're obviously doing a live stream as well. They've got an advantage there. Paul Ferlong doing it for them. So it's a big night for everybody all round. You might be able to tell me this now. Paul Ferlong scored against us in 2008-09. Am I right for Barnett? Well, I only remember him doing a really poor tackle on Jason Tindall earlier on, very early in his career. And I know that it probably cost Jason his career because he had numerous operations and never really came back for him. So that's really why I remember the name, not for that goal. Just moving on. That's well done by Ben Winterburn to Brown. The number five Lewis Brown is usually a centre midfield player actually. He's playing at centre half this evening. That's Boutant who's been very lively in the early exchanges. Forces are throwing here on the near side. I just asked Tommy what that's going to be like for Lewis Brown. I mean, you can see he's not the tallest Tommy. He's centre half. Owen Bevin, he's got a big lad next to him. What's it like for a midfielder slotting in there? Yeah, definitely changes when you're playing in the middle of the park. You've always got that added line behind you of security. So sometimes you can see that. Oh, and it's given away. And Winterburn will get a shot away here. It's just over the bar, but really good intensity from the cherry's head to try and get the ball back in the final third. And Tommy, just back to your original point, we've got Lewis Brown playing as a centre back. And we've also got Owen Bevin who used to be a central midfield player, playing as a centre back now. That sort of his settled role. Yep. Did you ever get moved about as a kid? Did you fancy yourselves a bit of a front man back in the day? No, I was never quick enough. No, I didn't really. I was always sort of centre half. I was from a family of centre half, so it was always meant to be for me. But just back to Lou Brown there, sometimes when a midfielder drops back, they can sometimes jump out into Oh, and it's given away here and just cleared away by the goalkeeper there and Neil, the cherries are showing some real intent here, looking to really press QPR high. Well, they've been fantastic so far, first five, seven minutes. QPR haven't had a chance as yet. I know it's very early, but that's about two or three really good shooting chances. If we had our shooting boots on, maybe we would have tested the keeper with a couple of those shots, but you know, one nil up. Let's try and build on that. If you're just joining us here, whether you're watching on Twitter, YouTube or Facebook, we really appreciate your support wherever you are around the world. And if you're joining us late, you'll have missed and a very early goal from Dan Aduajay that's given the cherries a lead here and boot on. He's got plenty of grass to drive into on the left hand side. He's got Harris overlapping him. If he spots him, he does. Harris will get there, low cross blocked away for a corner and the cherries look very lively, Tommy, particularly down this left hand side. Yeah, I would be very, very happy because we've been sharing an office with Al for the past sort of 10 days and he's been talking through his game plan quite a bit and it's all sort of going swimmingly well at the moment and he does press on and as we saw there with Noah's pace and power down the left exposing that on the counter attack it worked to treat there just for the for the ball for Nair. Could have just been a little bit further in front of Archie to open that cross up for him, but it was a good move up to then. And Archie Harris to fall back is wearing the number 10. Your eyes don't deceive you as the corner is played short and just not enough juice on the pass there, but Occo will mop things up. Doors. Good skill passing opportunity here in towards Adoo Ajay and it's claimed by Solomon again there. Tommy just a word on that set piece. Sometimes it's very frustrating for supporters where maybe a short corner or free kick doesn't go to plan, but it's all part of the game plan. I spend sort of hours looking at opposition setups and ways to expose them as QPR would have looked at what we do with set plays as well. So it's sort of a bit of a chess match there that they come up on top with that one that might lead to something cast further in the game. QPR looks to play the ball out of midfield. Doogie. His passes just overcooked and Bevin will mop that up the skipper. Tox. All the way back to Olly Kammis. And this is exactly what Alan Connell's teams are all about. Taking risks, playing out from the back, they're not strive having the ball, the defence. Occo wins his head and Winterburn just couldn't quite slip it into De Costa Gonzalez. It's a real show of character that particularly at such a young age, Neil. The likes of Owen Bevin. It's not scared of taking the ball so deep close to his own goal. Well, that's been hugely impressive so far. The way that they've played out from the back, like I said, they've mounted a couple of attacks from their own 18-yard box. And there you go, Neil. Owen Bevin absolutely spraying a delicious pass out wide to Olly Kammis. He's got the boot on. And Harris just can't get the timing right on that ball. QPR will look to come again with Murphy. Murphy finds Doogie back with Kota. Let's go a bit more direct here QPR, but Tonks is alert and does well. Brown now can drive forward. Hadoo Ajay. Very good set there by DeCosta Gonzalez to Tonks. Occo with a brilliant Crossfield pass. They look full of confidence like the Cherries. Buton. Buton just couldn't quite get the better of his man there, but he does find Harris the full back who sprays another great pass wide to DeCosta Gonzalez, who of course was the hero in their last round against Exeter City with two goals. Now Tonks. Occo. Tommy, just a word on this move. Cherries do have to be patient at times don't they? They don't have to rush things. They can keep it calm and composed and keep the ball when they need to. Exactly, especially when you're one new up. Just back to that last move where Ferdy sprayed one out wide. The pace at which they moved to break through the lines there and switch the gears up almost was impressive. That's something we don't get to see too much with the pitches that we can train on sometimes at Canford. It's a foul given against Hadoo Ajay there. Sorry to interrupt you Tommy. It looks as though it's more of a shoulder to shoulder. It still exists now in the modern game? No, just back to that. The pitches sometimes get a bit boggier at Canford and you don't see that quality come through until you get on this sort of surface. So again, it's a real pleasing aspect. Ball is out for QPR throwing. I just asked you Tommy about Ferdy Occo. We've seen Jefferson Lerma's here among the crowd tonight with his children. Is it fair to say that Ferdy is this sort of Jefferson Lerma of the under 18s? Yeah, I mean it's a great role model for Ferdy to have in front of him and to see on he's had actually quite a bit of exposure to the first team training sessions this year as well so he's highly regarded and thought of him. He's not been as we've seen there, not been afraid to put himself about in first team sessions as he is tonight but Jefferson's a great role model for him. It's a huge aim to get to that level but why not? QPR will try and find a way back into the game with this move here. Ball goes wide to Bagan. It's a clever ball. Now Bagan, QPR fullbacks won't be afraid to bomb on and get forward this evening but good covering by Ben Winterburn there, the number 8. Ben Winterburn, he actually used to be a left winger back when he was an under 13 player. He's been converted into a central midfield player. Some of you who are here for the under 21s game against West Bromwich Albion you'll see there's a lot of potential in Winterburn. Tommy, what did you make of his performance that night? He was hugely impressed. He'd only trained with us for a day or two before and he took every bit of information on board in what was a difficult tie as well. You know that West Brom came down there was top of the division or the table that we was in at the time and he was so impressive on the night and I think the thing that stood out above everything before you talk about ability or what he could do with his technique and stuff is the food and the application and the mindset that the lad's got so that will stand him in great stead going forward. From a sporting family is Ben Winterburn, his cousin actually plays basketball for England. So there you go, he's got got good genes as Bouton finds Winterburn and again they're not afraid to recycle and start again. Go back to Oli Camus who distributes well to Tonks and Brown is happy to show his lines there. QPR have a chance to make the most of that but Tonks defends well and throw in to the visitors. Neil, what have you made of Alan Connell's team start tonight? We've been on the front foot, we've got the early goal, surely that's the perfect start. I think it's been a very impressive start so far. We're coming up for 17 minutes in. They're the one that has created all the chances. They've obviously got the goal. It was quite similar to the game at Exeter away. Exeter didn't really get too many chances that evening. It was a very professional performance down there at St. James' Park and hopefully tonight can be the same. It certainly started off in the right vein. QPR are starting to get foothold in the game. Starting to play some clever passes as the ball goes wide yet again. It's a great first touch there from Bagan, crossed into the area just overcooked slightly and Bouton will see that out for a throw in and if you're just joining us on Facebook, YouTube or Twitter, we'd just like to give a huge thank you to our match day sponsors, Herne and Sons. They're the reason why we're able to provide the free stream this evening so we'd like to thank them for their really valued and continued support of AFC Bournemouth as QPR get the ball at the pitch. Beving with a big head up and Winterburn does well to win a free kick there. You can see Alan Connell on the touch line. He's still driving his players for more. He wants more despite being 1-0 up early Dawes. He won't be contempt with a 1-0 lead here at Vitality Stadium. Just seeing Marcus Dawes and Noah Bouton exchanging some words there over at a pass. They actually live together I think they're probably arguing about who's going to do the washing up tonight when they get home maybe. That Dawes has the ball here and finds his housemate Bouton. Looks to whip it high towards Adu Ajay. Couldn't quite get his feet right before I could have scored the opener. QPR looked to break. Anthony towards Murphy. It's a little bit of a loose pass there. Just managed to keep it in. We talk about this competition and lots of people say that there's no magic in the FA Cup anymore but there really is a magic in the FA Youth Cup. We've seen lots of players progress at this club throughout the competition and of the 10 Academy players that were in the squad at Yovill on Saturday to make it up proper. Eight of them have played in this competition for Bournemouth. Just goes to show some of the good work Tommy that's going on in the Academy setup at the moment. As you say this competition is massive. I remember coming through the system at Brighton and you'd always look for this game and try and get to that round three at the time we was a category sort of, we wasn't even in the academy we was a school of excellence so we would start off in the preliminary rounds and I was fortunate enough to get through a very good new castle side who had the likes of Andy Carroll and Tim Krueh in the team so we went on a great run and these are memories that you can make that can stick with you regardless of what you go on to do after your apprenticeship so even if you don't go on to make it they're always highlights of careers you know. It did look like a good tackle by Ferdinand Locco there and he's thrown the ball away probably got to be careful with throwing the ball away right in front of the referee. That's the stuff when the occasion starts getting to them a little bit so Ferdinand need to rein that in a little bit and manage himself. It's fair to say that that's a booking all day long in any other game he's thrown the ball away petulately and he's very very fortunate there. It just goes to show that we're not biased here on FCB TV. That's Murphy now shooting opportunity for Murphy it's very very well blocked by the skipper Owen Bevan. Can FC Bournemouth counterattack here Carlos is brought down but it's a throw in to the visitors. It's a big block by the captain Owen Bevan there, the number 6 you'll probably recognise him from some of the coverage of the club's pre-season tour this summer and there he is again with a big clearance. It's very highly thought of Owen Bevan, he's at Wales under 19 international and he is Alan Connell's captain this evening. Tommy you'll have seen Owen's progression with the under 23s in the development squad just tell us a little bit about what Owen is about from a centre half to another fellow centre half. Yeah he's seen he's good on the ball but now he's very brave, very committed leads this group well he's spent a bit of time up with us this year he's had to manage a couple of little issues but yeah he's got a lot of instincts that will hopefully get him a good career in the game. That pass was just off there by Asa but Bevan will keep it alive Tonks is alert again removes the danger Finn Tonks has done quite well nearly out there on that right hand side he's one on one Jules Yeah he's done very very well he looks quite tricky the left winger over there so we're going to have to keep some tabs on him had a couple of crosses already come in but they were a little bit too deep but like you said Finn's done very well but the back four have done very well haven't they? They're the two lads that Alcon have actually highlighted for QPR the two wingers so a tough task for the two fallbacks tonight that they're both doing well up to now really good counter attack opportunity here with Bouton he's got Harris running beyond him and Harris will do that all evening in field to doors the momentum of the move he's kept alive with a brilliant pass to Bouton who the flag is up on the far side clever ball around the corner there from doors but Bouton just couldn't stay on side 22 minutes played here on our live coverage that early Dan Adua-Jagal is enough for a 1-0 lead here for the home side Brown nods it down to Harris up in the air and Occo will gobble that up all day the ball is back in QPR's possession good move by Ayser and Winterburn just brought him down there as he was hounding in on goal it's probably a good foul actually Tommy would you say yeah we'll see how this result in free kick ends up but they've actually got a good foothold in the game in the last 5-10 minutes QPR and starting to see how dangerous they can be so for our lads now I've got to manage this next period try and get back in in control of possession we're talking about the two wingers of QPR their strengths actually their weakness also because they leave free up every time we attack so I think if we can break that first press and sustain a bit of pressure in there half it wouldn't hurt at the moment Murphy he goes for goal it's very very well blocked by the wall went back in and well headed away by Brown the cherries will force QPR to start again Bagan good ball round the corner for Ayser towards the back post and Harris couldn't quite clear his lines but handball given by the referee there actually Harris just couldn't quite clear his lines but the cherries are safe here at 1-0 just a quick shout out for Lewis Brown his dad Phil Brown who manages locally in the Wessex League with Bournemouth Poppies had great success with Bournemouth Manor as well so it's always great to see a local lad doing well in the local team headed up in the air well won by Harris Occo does just enough and Winterburn had a free kick given against him here which I'm not sure that's a foul it's probably a bit harsh isn't it Tommy I thought he was actually really clever from Ben he got his body across in between the man and the ball I thought he just edged him out nicely there but quite unfortunate QPR are much to Tommy Elfix thoughts having the better of things as things stand they haven't created a clear cut opening Alan Connell's cherries a standing firm Bagan good ball down the line here but very good defending from Occo again read the game very well Tonks looks to relieve the pressure sometimes Tommy as Fin Tonks proved there sometimes you do just have to clear your lines to reset and go again rather than try and stick to the philosophy at all times to fairly there great position in and reading of the game and composure to try and keep the ball I said I weren't a bad decision from Fin actually to go long and try and pin QPR back a little bit you can see why he'd be thinking that at the time so Michael needs to just rein it in now Occo's gone sour let's just have the nibble at his man there nothing too serious if you're just joining us whether you're on YouTube, Twitter or Facebook 25 minutes into this FA Youth Cup type and if you tuned in late and you would have missed a very very early goal within two minutes for Dan Adua Dry it's his 11th goal of the season it's given AFC Bournemouth a lead here in this Cup type Olli Camus will distribute it wide it's a lovely ping to Nervutant from Olli Camus Buton just runs in trouble a bit there just well won by Anthony who will clear his lines but Owen Bevan monstrous in the air as ever QPR, Nick it back Murphy and QPR show their quality there it's with Bala Began again very good defending there by De Costa Gonzalez Neal he's caught the headlines De Costa Gonzalez for scoring goals and oh it's just to interrupt my point there because it's brilliant play by Finn Tonks and there's a counter attack opportunity here for AFC Bournemouth Buton he's got Harris alongside him as ever energetic Archie Harris calms things down it's now doors a lovely piece of play Buton low cross towards Adua Dry he got the wrong side of his man it's some really good defending actually by Haric at QPR and we'll have a corner here 27 minutes gone what a fantastic flick by Archie Harris there his dad played professionally for a few clubs also played for Weymouth as well but that was a fantastic flick to put Noah Bhutan in and a great cross but like you said fantastic bit of defending at the near but at the front post there to prevent another shot on target number 11 Marcus Dawes will take this set play he's got plenty to aim for in the penalty area Dawes whips it low Adua Dry Costa Gonzalez it's a very very well worked corner routine Tommy it almost caught us out let alone the QPR defence but the Costa Gonzalez just pings one over yeah it takes us back to the first set piece sometimes you need the first one to fail to sort of lure QPR into doing something different and then when they change their setup it leaves something else open so you can see how well coached the team are and how clued in they are to various parts of the game not only in play but when the ball is dead as well would have been huge credit to well corner if that one dropped in those are the fine marges aren't they that Alan Connell always talks about the ball is tossed up towards Winterburne the Costa Gonzalez will retrieve the ball but loses it high at the pitch again good pressure from Winterburne and the Costa Gonzalez didn't let the ball go there's no such thing as a lost cause in this ASC Bournemouth team is there no you can see sort of a culture at the club that's stuck with it for many years now and that's certainly one of them you know above and above everything else is the work rate and the commitment to put the team above yourself so we certainly seen it up to now with this group QPR throw just another thing to add looking at the team sheet as well there's actually four seconds years in the starting line-up there's going to be seven lads in this team that will be playing in this competition next season so that really is another encouraging sign yes it is a very young group we obviously look for the ones that are going to be up with the 23s from next season and as you say there are only four of them lads tonight so it's a good feat if we can get through this round it's a free kick here a chance for Owen Bevan forward it's Marcus Dawes the number 11 scored 18 goals last season in a very very good campaign 2018's won the merit league he was one of the standout performers and he'll whip this free kick in it's high towards Bevan it's flicked on he's won it goal kick but again I think we've talked so much about Owen Bevan tonight but again we haven't talked about him in attacking sense from set plays he's a real unit up there and he can get up high yes it's amazing it's such a big jump from the 18s to the 23s if you like the age difference you don't realise how big it is physically for some of these lads but when you look at Owen out there tonight he looks like he's almost ready for that very very soon if not already talk about the step up from the 18s to the 23s certain Jaden Anthony has scored for FC Bournemouth in the FA youth cup he scored the 2018 win over whole city it's a foul on Bouton there and he stayed down it's a yellow card it didn't look a very pleasant tackle it was a little bit clumsy from Dougie that's the first booking of the evening Tommy do you think it's a yellow card I'm going to be in the defenders camp here I thought he'd done well to win the free kick sorry he's power again pulling away from someone but yeah he's done well our team have actually managed this last 5 or 6 minutes quite well they've got another foothold in the game again sort of took the steam out of QPR a lot of possession has been in the QPR half so doors whip deliveries whipped in with real venom and Cherries will come again with this throw in which Archie Harris will take the number 10 Archie Harris we talked about Ben Winterburn having a sporting family Archie Harris as Neil mentioned his father's played for South End Chester like Norian but his sister also plays football for Wales so there's a little tip there for you about the flying fullback Archie Harris Cherries move it well from left to right Winterburn does well here is Harris he's got 2-24 in the middle one of them is Adu Ajay the goal scorer which couldn't quite get it under his spell talking of the family links there Matt's reminded me about Daniel Adu Ajay his uncle Tony is Tony Iboa they form a Leeds player but he's not actually his uncle he's his dad's best friend but because he knows him so well he calls him Uncle Tony Tony Iboa scorer so my iconic Premier League goals that's not a bad fountain of knowledge to have a breaker in my heart as well he's a big Liverpool fan at the time when he was banging goals in off the crossbar against him it's Gonzalez he looked like he was fouled there Harris will resume play Bouton Dawes drives forward Dawes and is fouled free kick here in a very dangerous position and it was won very well by Dawes yeah he's Marcus another one he's been up with us quite a bit he's a little bit of a hybrid sometimes plays out wide and see him tonight playing as an 8 when he plays wide he usually plays on the left cutting in on his right he actually reminds me of a certain Mark Pugh so yeah again he's had a terrific season up to now and certainly doing very well tonight no pressure there he's able to have half the career of Mark Pugh that he's done very very well club legend Pughie Dawes wits one low hit the wall fly out for Cherry's corner actively he's been to several Northern Ireland under 18's camps just goes to show the sort of pedigree that the Cherry's Academy are now attracting Dawes to take the corner it's Costa Gonzalez on screen there jostling for position and it's heading towards Winterburn it's just blocked by Adu Ajayi couldn't quite get it under his spell it's another very good set piece routine there from Alan Connell's side and a free header as Tonks now will go back to Camus the Cherry's will start again and get their shape Camus looks to ping it to Archie Harris who just loses out Anthony it's a good challenge by Harris on Doogie there and Tommy just going back to that set plate was another good set piece routine again yeah you can see Marcus makes his delivery up there he didn't whip it in he drove it that was worked on again I think it might have been Daniel who actually got in the way of his teammates headed there so quite unlucky 35 minutes in here 10 minutes to the break the Cherry's took a very early lead through Dan Adu Ajayi the QBR had a sustained spell of pressure it's fair to say but Cherry's have managed this spell of the game very very well have control of the ball here with Bever Adu Ajayi Winterberg the Costa Gonzalez which can't quite keep the ball in there the Costa Gonzalez very interesting one the Costa Gonzalez born in Alicante and lived in Spain for the early part of his life and Neil I'm sure you've got a great story about why he uses why uses his left foot well he used to be right footed and when he was 6 he was in a motorbike accident his dad was driving and he had to change which foot he kicked with it seems to have worked because he's very very good on his left as QPR will look to make something happen here but it's very well read by Tonks and a good turn by Winterberg Dawes Bever Harris to Bouton just given away there by the Frenchman and a good chance here for Rangers to keep it in but I guess Tommy the thing that you're looking for tonight is the reaction there they may have given the ball away but the reaction to win it back and force an error excellent things you want to see and it's interesting there that's obviously like we said before QPR they leave free up and Finn Tonks was involved in the first passage there and was out of position when it got switched around by his effort to get back in was superb so as you say there they're sort of standout attributes and the fundamentals of the game that you really want to see from a young lad coming through Finn Tonks he was actually scouted by district football joined the club as an under 30 Dawes does very well there and Okko can drive forward here Vernon and Okko he's got Bouton to his left said he goes to Winterberg on the right just couldn't quite play the killer ball but the Sherries will keep it alive Dawes there referee goes to his pocket again it's another yellow card and again some really good driving play from midfield that's what Vernon and Okko is all about Tommy like you've said all evening to break it up and to drive the team forward like that it was excellent would like to have seen him to make the pass because it vended a nice move with a finish so he was unlucky not to make that but good backing up from Marcus to take and win a free kick in a dangerous area now as well Sherries have Archie Harris and Marcus Dawes over the ball here could be Harris on his left or Dawes on his right or will they try a special one from the Alan Connell set piece book I think that wall is a little bit too far over I'd fancy Archie round the it's Harris just wide it's a really good effort and Psy kicked Tommy Elford did predict that it's unlucky it's a really good effort it's just wide showing on the replay there Salomon just about clears his lines as Okko wins it winter burn it's unlucky out to Sam Bagan the left back and again Sherries bodies very quick to get behind the ball there Holly Kamis very commanding there Kamis he spent seven years at Chelsea before joining Ashley Bourne under 15 level and Sherries will come again with Dawes really good feet from him still Dawes Okko a really good piece of play there Brown and Okko combined to give Tonks time to play it to Dacosta Gonzalez flicks it on Ado Ajay the goal scorer Ado Ajay couldn't quite get his pass right in QPR can break here Sherry at things stand and Finn Tonks it's a foul it's probably a clever one he'll have to take a yellow card for the team there just goes to show Neil that in the blink of a night it doesn't matter if you've got the ball this QPR team do have the talent to counter well well yeah and when you're only one it up that's a danger I mean he's taken a booking for the team there no question about it let's see like Tommy said whether he's done the right thing let's see how they get on with this free kick just over five minutes until the break going at half time 1-0 I'm sure Alan Connor will be delighted with that this free kick's being taken we'd just like to again take the chance to thank Herne and Sons who are our sponsors today they've bought us the streaming rights for today it's a free kick is harmlessly over the bar Ben Winterburn was actually on the floor under the wall there it was harmlessly over from Riley Cotter again just goes to show the planning and the little margins of Alan Connor's team they had a man on the floor behind the wall clearly scouted QPR set pieces really well I'm not sure what's your thoughts on this tactic I'll be having a word about Connor about this one well I'm not sure I'd get up actually if it was me beat yourself up Neil it's the Costa Gonzalez it's well won by Ballat in all seriousness as an ex player Tommy what do you make of that a free kick now everyone's doing it I'm not sure really I can't remember the last time I saw someone go underneath a wall but I remember back in the day with Eddie we used to if a wall was outside of the box you would jump and if the wall was inside the box you would jump with your toes down so that you couldn't go underneath it but it was in little details where Eddie was a genius so I was always someone that would sometimes be in the wall more often than not because I said it would jump toes down so they couldn't go underneath the wall I just don't know sometimes I think in that situation if a team was switched on to another team doing that it leaves you short somewhere and you could possibly expose that brilliant pass Tommy just to interrupt you there by the Costa Gonzalez to Bhutan who's one on one with this fallback just stands him up Harris overlap and help Bhutan all evening full of energy doors Bhutan Bhutan all the way back to to Brown Occo previously of Tottenham, Hotspur and West Ham Ferdi Occo Harris finds doors on the left hand side Bhutan, clever flick Bhutan looks to get his cross into the box and QPR slashing away always had a play for a throw in and again Cherries have probably been the better team all over the pitch but like we said a number of times on the stream this evening this left hand side looks particularly dangerous Tommy Yeah they're ending the half very strongly being in front there a little bit lack of experience but sometimes you're better off resting on the ball in the opposition's half as we see now you're going to defend another attack if you give the ball up Sorry to interrupt you there Tommy as Winterburn does enough to halt the momentum of that move it's a goal kick that's where I see Bournemouth just two minutes to go until half time it's all about seeing the game out now isn't it Tommy just the word on Ben Winterburn there as well I'm not sure what sort of coverage people are seeing at home but if you had a wide view of this game the ground that he's covering is unbelievable amazing traits for youngster to have to realise the work that has to be put in really again as I say sacrificing himself a little bit great work from him so far Ben Winterburn is a housemate of Archie Harris the fallback a lot of these players do tend to live together in the olden particularly with the academy not a lot of the lads now come from the Bournemouth area so they do have to move into digs and they do want to live together Yeah well the club had to widen its net a few years ago and look how it's paid dividends now with people like Jordan Zamora Gavin Kip Kenny from Ireland Jordan Zamora London, Jayden Anthony London you know Ben Winterburn is another one you know for the first time he's moved away from home and he's living in digs with Archie Harris and Harris did play a good pass there to Bouton it's Dors, he's got three ahead of him Dors finds De Costa Gonzalez who has a crack, it's a low one almost crept into that near post but Simon had to be alive there just going to show the quality that De Costa Gonzalez has there he might have been 25 yards out without a sniff at goal but he's made the goalkeeper work there Yeah coming in on his left foot Neil said earlier you know how well he did in the previous round at Exeter and it was those flashes of quality that won us the game last time so he certainly looks a threat again Dors again with the corner, Cherries have three men standing just outside the penalty area Dors whips it high it's in towards Bevan couldn't quite get his head on to it Harris will rescue the situation Occo Brown really good pass to Archie Harris there Lewis Brown is screaming at Archie Harris to keep the ball but he whips it in Adio Ajay will get there Ajay, Winterburn onto his left De Costa Gonzalez in the area Steve still alive for the Cherries with Dors who fizzes it over that will probably be the last action of the half and that could be a very, very crucial interception from Matteo Salomon in the QPR goal Yeah now again just trying to look back there great footwork from Ben Winterburn to keep the attack alive and Michael on his left foot again who's unlucky for Daniel Real they're trying to follow up with a rebound not for it to fall to him but certainly ending the half really, really strongly again there's two balls on the pitch sure it'll be half time once Salomon takes his kick so close to 2-0 for the Cherries Salomon is taking his time here not sure what's taking so long here Salomon plays it short it's out for a throw in and the referee does blow for half time here it's been a really impressive display from Alan Connell's young side here it only took them just under two minutes to take the lead Dan Adoo adjusts 11th goal of what's been a fruitful campaign for him so far Neil what are your thoughts on that half it's been a very good half but one that they need to continue in the second oh most definitely I mean like you said a second goal a third goal you know we'd be sitting here a lot more confident it's still on a knife edge it's in the balance we've got the lead QPR look very very dangerous just seeing the replay of the goal now yeah slid in very bravely at the near post there Dan Adoo a jaa yeah that's a fantastic start now we've just got to try and consolidate it and build on it maybe in the second half Tommy? yeah now it managed the game really well showed great maturity there they stemmed the flow on a tie on about 25-35 minutes but managed to get a full hold in the game get the ball back up in QPR's half and finished it really really strongly with some good chances so I'm sure I'll be really pleased with the first half and come out all guns firing keep the pressure up and as Neil said try and extend the lead this is the second chance here for the Costa Gonzalez Neil it was so close to 2-0 just before the half time we saw that a really really good save there from the QPR stopper well he made two very good saves because just before that he made the save low down to his near post I think Michael de Costa Gonzalez is one of those players where you would say creates something out of nothing and he's just done that twice in the space of 5 minutes in the end of this first half there you know one of those goes in and we're looking at a 2-0 lead like I said it's a 1-0 lead and then we've really got to be on our toes throughout the second half some good chances there and we'll just wrap up after 15 minutes or so during the half time interval thank you for joining us we'll be back in 15 minutes we'll see you then at the break for QPR the Cherries have that 1-0 lead thanks for a very very early goal from Dan, Adwoj Neil what do you think Alan Connell said to his team at half time because they did end the half very strongly and could have gone 2-0 well I mean I've never been a football manager but I imagine he's just said more of the same that's because it's been outstanding I mean you know QPR have had a couple of spells where they've had a little bit of possession haven't really tested Oli Camus seriously yet back 4 of look very very composed very comfortable on the ball so I mean Alan it's probably one of the shortest team talks he's ever given I would imagine just do exactly the same again and Tommy what have the Cherries got to do in this second half I know they've obviously got to keep applying the pressure but they've got to control the game as well particularly 1-0 is a dangerous scoreline isn't it I think that's the words there control the game, control the possession QPR very very dangerous on the counter attack with the two wide boys so locking them out early and much of the same as Neil said really just as we get back under way here we'd just like to thank our matchday sponsors Herne and Sons who have really helped us with our streaming operation this evening we'd like to thank them for helping us get to you live on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube this evening and a special thank you of course to all of our viewers who are joining us around the world as the Cherries looks to build on their 1-0 lead here with Bouton to slip it to Harris which couldn't quite find the overlapping fallback but he's got it now Harris gets to the byline wins a corner another quick start here from Alan Connell's side the three lads down the left they have a real nice connection with Archie and Dorsey on that left side of the midfield free so like you say a good start and hopefully I've got something copy-sleeve for us again here doors to whip it in he's had good variety on his set pieces so far this evening towards a near post but it's well cleared by Anthony and Tommy we were talking about the FA Youth Cup and the memories that you had playing against such a strong Chelsea team it really could be a special experience for some of these young players yeah definitely and I go back to my youth team days all the time because so much good was installed in me and we had such a great group I think nine of us went on to make first team appearances and at that time Brighton was very much based around getting youth team lads through so it was really really important and like we've seen this year for our first team the amount that the likes of Traves and Jay-Z and Jayden Anthony to our first team in Gav Kilkenny as well and when the bench has been filled with him lads it doesn't feel like they're that far away Buton's crosses in towards Bevan who just couldn't quite get the ball under his spell in the penalty area like you alluded to there Tommy it was Christian Sadie, Zeno with some Rossy, Nathan Mariah Welch Brennan Kamp, Will Dennis, Jayden Anthony Gavyn Kilkenny and Tariq Ghidari who are all in the squad at Yovil who are featured for the cherries in this competition and that's the point during their academy careers and Adu Ajay will look to wrestle control the ball it's a good tackle by Winterburn Okko back to Bevan and Harris now goes a bit more direct Harris towards Adu Ajay who almost nicked in ahead of the centre half there Neil they're just showing that they can mix it up they're not all about keeping the ball at the back and being patient they can go along when needed Yeah and as well as that and I thought in the first half how well they got a bit of everything in the team Matt like you said go long, play it short, put their foot in keep the ball, it's got a bit of everything Here's Harris just couldn't quite slip that ball through it was a really good opportunity actually for Adu Harris if you got the pass right very adventurous fallback here's Harris QPR and out the other end Finn Tonks with another clever interception but it's a foul there on the QPR man it's a free kick to Queens Park Rangers the FA Youth Cup was won by Aston Villa last season Neil but Chelsea have dominated it over the past few years they've had 8 finals in the past 10 FA Youth Cups that's some going for such a big club and also remember a couple of years ago you spoke to Dom Solanke about his FA Youth Cup experiences and look at what he's doing now it really can make a player grow in stature this competition he remembers his FA Youth Cup days like they were yesterday remembers who he's played against, who was playing with him that's how much it means to these players just touching on Aston Villa there they've gone out already beaten by Leicester who you know Leicester or a crew for the winners of this game so the holders are already out just as Neil said there it would be Leicester or crew here at Vitality Stadium for whoever comes out on top in this contest as QPR have a corner here looking to find their way back into the game here at Vitality Stadium 4 minutes into this second half QPR very similar setup to the cherries from this corner a lot of players hovering outside the penalty area it's played short it's whipped in towards the back post it's very well headed away QPR will keep it alive it's a really good challenge by Adu Ajay the goal scorer QPR keep it alive it's a low one missed it chance on here good block by Bevan and it's just wide Omarisa sorry I should say it was actually the defender the tall defender Hawkins with the effort there narrowly wide the cherries will resume play here with Brown Tonks looking to try and be positive and play the ball forward Tonks Costa Gonzalez Costa Gonzalez runs into trouble and wins a free kick very well there Neil just a word under Costa Gonzalez he can actually play for three different countries if he wants to his mom's from Ecuador so he can play for them his dad's from Guinea so he can play for them his granddad's from Colombia so he can play for them so he's spoiled for choice really on the international stage should he prove his quality to get there he can also play for Spain where he was born it's Archie Harris now looks for Adu Ajay but it's just overcooked that pass he used to live in Portsmouth apparently Glamorous Portsmouth of course it's a foul there by Ben Winterburn and one thing that's really caught the eye about Ben Winterburn isn't just his ability on the ball but he is willing to get stuck in and like you mentioned Neil he's willing to stick his foot in as well I've been very very impressed with him I didn't see the Premier League game unfortunately against West Bond but been so impressed with him I was impressed with him in the third round away at Exeter but I was impressed with the whole team and one player we haven't mentioned is Oli Camus the goalkeeper because he hasn't done a great deal he hasn't had to do a great deal because he's got a great back four in front of him but he was absolutely faultless away at Exeter bearing in mind he's only just come into the team and he is only a first year as well so Wales under 17 international Oli Camus once again QPR will try and get their way back into this FA Youth Cup tie Murphy got plenty of numbers beyond him Murphy Cherries have every man behind the ball Kotta just a thread one over the top but it's well scouted by Bevan with Cherries, Tomia just having to do a little bit of defending here just to hold what they have yeah good position there from Ferdy and now these are the moments where it's very important to try and keep the ball and try and gain some control again you can see that QPR moving the ball a lot quicker and a lot slicker around the 18-yard box so somehow through possession we need to keep them away from our goal a little bit more Tonks back to Lewis Brown who is usually a centre midfield player so lovely ball up towards the goalscorer Adu Ajay I said didn't I just after half time Alan's probably had his one of his easiest half time team talks their manager's probably been quite the opposite he said to them you know you want to go for it at the start of the second half come on we want to start creating some chances Meeker Hyde is their manager here so he probably had quite a lot to say half time I would imagine if you recognise the name Meeker Hyde he's a former Jamaica internationally won 17 caps for them he's probably most known for his time at Watford made over 250 league appearances for the Hornets the ball is driven high towards that left hand channel but Camus is there to mop things up he's done really well I know Neil said he's not had a lot to do Olly but a couple of times he's had to be on the edge of his box and tidy things up he's done it brilliantly Bevan drives forward so confident on the ball Owen Bevan really impressed Scott Parker and his coaching staff on the pre-season tour this summer the first team here is Brown Tonks Tonks just can't beat his man it's a throw in just asked Tommy about that Owen Bevan spends nine weeks training with the first team over pre-season goes on a pre-season tour what's that going to do for his confidence Tommy when you have such a big transition like we've had this summer with new management team in place as well and it helps that lad and this group so much to relay their messages and what he'll do for his confidence and what he'll learn in them nine weeks will be absolutely unbelievable for him going forward and if he's ever used to jump up which he has been since he's already primed and prepped for what's expected so it's a testament to him at that age to be trusted like that speaking of the first team setup as this shot goes wide Neil spotted Jefferson Lermer earlier but we've also got Leaf Davis Chris Mepper Morgan Rogers we're sure there's a few other first team members of the squad on that far side watching as part of the crowd Tommy that's really nice to see isn't it the first team actually coming here they don't have to be here but they want to be here to support Alan Connell and his team that's a really nice touch yeah brilliant and again that's one of the jaws of the FA Youth Cup and why it is so special I remember when I was a youngster and the club captain would always turn up to the games and the senior pros would always be there and they'd be in the dressing room after congratulating you or commiserating you so that's again what makes these nights special for these young lads and they'll appreciate that like no other really it's a bouton no way bouton does well to try and wrestle the ball back the referee penalizes the Frenchman you keep asking Tommy about his FA Youth Cup memories Matt but you've not asked me about mine yet was that the 1959 quarterfinal no I did play in it once I played for Paltown and we played Bournemouth we lost 5-0 and the man I was marking scored a hat trick so I've done all this research here this evening and I don't know that my co-commentator actually played in the FA Youth Cup that is we need to communicate better Neil I think as back onto the action on the pitch as QPR will look to test the cherry's defence with this set play it's a high one just missed by Bevan they can't quite clear their lines but Bevan does get there and it's a corner to QPR it's a very good delivery actually by Murphy there for the visitors it's hard to early anticipate where it was going to go and unfortunately just missed it but done well to recover and concede a corner QPR have had a number of set plays to start this second half they've really come out with a real intent to get that equaliser the corner is low almost a carbon copy of the cherry's first corner of the game which didn't go to plan here is Cotter he did look offside there and the linesman did raise his flag and it is offside and the cherry's have defended that very well again a good line there Tommy yeah a good line and just before that as well Lewis Brown was alive on the edge of the box for sure and intercepts it well he's had a seamless game so far dropping back like we said before in the first half dropping back from midfield and he looks really comfortable just to give a shout out to Lewis Brown's cousin who is actually named Fletcher Brown and who is named after Tommy really that is true yeah so Fletcher if you're watching thanks for tuning in and Steve if you're watching I'm sure you'll be delighted Cole Fletcher QPR will look to again try and make something work from this throwing round as well there to shake off his man Tonks shows great composure there he's shown great composure all evening really in that right back area and Harris wins a goal kick just joining us on Twitter, Facebook or YouTube firstly thank you very much for joining us myself Neil and Tommy here at Vitality Stadium we're just approaching the hour mark so we'd just like to say another thank you to Herne and Sons who are taking the time to sponsor us this evening as know our bouton goes down and stays down on the far sides as well won by Winterburn by Adu Ajay Adu Ajay there Tommy showing that you're not just a goal scorer in the modern game you have to press for the team you have to fight to win every ball you can't just be a poacher anymore really depending on the style of play in the modern game especially at this football club when you see the work of our current number nine and he looks like he's got that mindset as well chance on here for the visitors couldn't quite slip it through and again Camus confidently up up the situation just over an hour played here Tommy when will Alan Connell say you know we need to sit back we need to control the game when will he start maybe perhaps being a little bit more defensive in his approach yeah it could be a little bit dangerous I think at the moment we are a lot of the ball has been in our half so I'm not sure sitting deep is the right solution at this stage we need to try and this is the way we need to try and get up the pitch one by Winterburn so low on towards an ear post very well struck Venom behind the strike Solomon was there to parry it away yeah that's back to the tactics from now you know you see Ben Winterburn in the phase before him and Daniel pressing from the front they've done exactly the same there and got us up the pitch so I think that's the way forward for us in this second half to if you sit back in your own half for too long it can be a very dangerous game especially at 1-0 just seen on the replay there that the keeper should make but how do a Jai looking very lively a former Fullerman Brentford striker Marcus Dawes will take this corner again what does he have up his sleeve this time around it's a higher one towards the far post and Bevan will rise and he'll keep it alive Bevan, still Bevan just wide he made the most of that second opportunity there in Bevan he didn't quite strike it cleanly but another clever set play routine just seeing Bevan's chance there just wide, unfortunately couldn't make a clean connection QPR make a substitution here on Ryan Colley who will play, looks like he's going to play as a striker, QPR changing things in the attacking department Bevan another monstrous header from him Winterburn very good challenge from him Occo who has looked very composed he's not afraid to start things again Ferdinand Occo formerly of Tottenham and West Ham Winterburn again, good feet from him very good play to find Marcus Dawes Harris Bouton Dawes Occo, now Finn Tonks wide to the Costa Gonzalez move a sort of slow down, just a little bit here on this right hand side Winterburn Occo it's a foul there on Marcus Dawes it was a really good piece of play there again like we've mentioned before Tommy that left hand side the link up between that trio on the left hand side looks very promising really good spell and me and Neil were just pointing out here that the longer this game goes on the TPR really leaving free up top they're not even paying no regard to us in possession so it's going to be very very important that we switch on to counter attacks you can see what they're trying to do when we push a full back on they leave two front men high and wide of the focal point so reactions need to be good when we lose the ball but we need to be super diligent in our passing and make sure the details are right and make sure we're not giving it away too cheaply Harris takes it short to Dawes who's got Harris running alongside him Dawes will go for a goal it was a good effort was fairly central but Ben Winterburn stops the counter attack there maybe got a little excited there that is a good yellow card because we was 3v3 at the back and it was an excellent decision from Ben to stop that and break it up that's taken on for the team Ben Winterburn goes into the book Second Cherry's yellow card of the evening we're just seeing this shot again from Marcus Dawes Neil, you really can't strike a football can't you Dawes been very impressive it's straight down the goalkeeper's throat I'm just watching the replay again because I'm trying to work out what Ben Winterburn has actually done wrong you just missed it there if it was handball, can you jump in front of the keeper like that I don't know why not changing the rules all the time aren't they if you watch the African cup of nations this afternoon referees blowing up on 85 minutes that was absolutely bizarre of course we do have representation in that tournament via Jordan Zamora and sure Neil and Tommy you join me in wishing him all the very best for his tournament with Zimbabwe the ball goes out for a throw in here I'll just mention Jordan Zamora there he hasn't actually played in the youth cup for the Cherries but he's been a real story of the season hasn't he alongside the likes of Jade and Anthony Gavin Kilkenny in particular just to highlight three of the names who have really impressed from the academy set up but just to deviate from that point as Tonks drives forward to Costa Gonzalez looks for Adu Ajay he just couldn't quite get the pass right Ben Winterburn maybe does have to be a bit more careful now he's on a yellow card but to Costa Gonzalez does well again great bit of composure there from Ferdinand Ocho Gonzalez was all alone there and he's done very well to buy a free kick for us there Tommy he's done very well and that's your point about how well the young lads have done for us this season and that's why the academy football and these competitions are so important to prime and for those days hopefully if and when they come about it's a huge testament to all the coaches right through the academy been blown away really since I've come back to the club to see the worker at first hand the likes of Sean Cooper and Al Connell led by Joe Roach still and Bruce Sriratchi and going down further you know some real good coaching that these lads get for where we are in terms of the academy pound for pound we're punching well above our weight boys high towards Bevan again Winterburn did get a touch Bevan will keep it alive he's done very well in Bevan Harris' cross is claimed by Solomon and he'll look to go from back to front very very quickly but Brown is there to head it away and Tonks will clear his lines it's actually a good ball and a great touch by Marcus Dawes he's done exceptionally well there but just ran into traffic QPR will come again with Murphy Y2 Anthony Cherries have every man behind the ball apart from the gold score out of a J but the ball is in the box and it's a good block by Owen Bevan and he's alert again to show great composure to clear from what looked like a potentially dangerous opportunity there for QPR just ask you tactically Tommy here is this it now when the goalkeeper gets the ball QPR goalkeeper he's just going to boot it up to those three yeah I think they look to go from back to front really quick with direction they're not just punting it long though they're really playing for the counter attack just to interrupt you here Tommy sorry Tonks has got the ball very very good opportunity to make it 2-0 great ball in by Finn Tonks Nadu Ajayi just couldn't quite apply the finishing touch it's a great opportunity there Tommy for 2-0 Nadu Ajayi unfortunate there not to add to his tally he's got 11 goals this season he's also attended a number of England under 15 camps during his time there's a lovely passage of play here from the Cherries great composure at the back as Brown drives forward now still Brown goes for goal it's just wide Tommy has a centre half when you pass the half way line what are you thinking you're thinking go on the headlines are there for me yeah I wouldn't have got that far to be honest I've been turning back at some point ball is wide with ball up wide in field Kota, Y2 Anthony again the Cherries are showing real good defensive shape here not panicking almost looks like they're allowing QPR to have the ball in certain areas Tommy yeah it's going to be tough this next 20 minutes because the two wide men for us Noa Bhutan and Michael both just come back from slight hamstring injuries as well they haven't trained as much I'd like to have done over Christmas Marcus Dawes looks like he's cramping a little bit so I'm sure Al is going to be forcing a couple of changes at some points I'll be interested I know I'm in Parmas on the bench he was unlocking up to start today he had a little bit of an illness just before Christmas as well he's quite well versed and quite experienced so I'll be interested to see what Al does in the next 20-25 minutes just a reminder that if this game is a draw it will go to extra time and penalties but as things stand AC Bournemouth will face either Leicester City or crew Alexandra here at Vitality Stadium in the fifth round not counting our chickens just yet Neil No we're not just talking about the bench there's a Charlie Osbourne is one of the options off the bench obviously a young player whose son Ben Osbourne scored hat falls of goals in local non-league circles certainly for Christchurch and Wimborn as well I think so another local lad nice to see him maybe come on I think you mentioned there in the first half Neil about Lewis Brown's dad as well born with poppies manager it's great to see so much local representation across the front here going back 20-25 years most of the lads in the youth team were local lads but as the teams progressed first team wise the academies had to progress as well this used to be a one man band with Joe Roach doing everything loads and loads of staff and one of those staff is alongside us Tommy Elfic which just goes to show how far the academy has come it's made great strides as Marcus Dawes on the left hand side now buton who we haven't seen as much of in this second half Tommy Noah Buton I think that's complement to QPR the amount of territory that they had especially early on in the first half but they've definitely nullified that left side a little bit you could spell a possession here for Alan Connell's side Winterburn here is Dawes Buton in the penalty area cuts it back, Winterburn it was a clever cross from Noah Buton and Winterburn just couldn't keep his shot down a really good cut back but unfortunately for us Winterburn skyed his effort still 1-0 I'm not sure how much we're paying for his fee today but right at the start of the game he said players start cramping up after 70 minutes, 70 minutes and 45 seconds Ferdinand Ocho is cramped up Experienced Neil again it's just the occasion they've had hours tried to treat it as much like a first team game as possible today I know he had them in early took them for a walk down the beach he builds it up which is the right thing to do to expose them to that sort of build up like it would be in a first team and seeing Ferdinand just went down a little bit earlier Daniel could you see stretching his calves there as well it's the first time like we said these lads are playing in front of four or five six hundred people whatever it is tonight and it means a lot to them, means so much to them we've had the actual attendance Tommy it's 891 which is really really special for these youngsters yeah excellent on my way in I got here a little bit late and I saw him queuing up to get in so again it's another element that these boys are going to have to deal with hopefully in their career and just to say I know they can't see us or hear us but 891 we'd like to thank everyone for coming out tonight it's it's ultra special for these youngsters but hopefully they've been treated to a good showing as well this evening as after a brief break to get back underway Cherries will make a change at some point but referee blows and Occo is back on for the Cherries and Bouton does really well gets a rubber the green is able to get to the byline Bouton low cut back to Winterburn doors oh what a save it was a special move matched by a very special save from Matteo Salomon great set by Ben Winterburn he could have gone on and took the shot himself but he's wearing this to set Dorsey as well it's the first time we've really sinned over this half to show him what he's all about to pick someone out beat his man pick someone out on the edge of the box but really unlucky not to get a goal from that because it was a lovely move it's a really really good save from the young goalkeeper there so Cherries have a corner and this time it will be Winterburn who will take doors has taken all of the corners so far this evening but a change of pace with Ben Winterburn on the set piece it's high towards Bevan again wins the head up Harris look to whip a clever one into Adua J and the Cherries will have to drive back in numbers as QPR have left three up like Tommy said on a number of times this evening but Bouton does extremely well to extinguish that threat and it's Occo who shows great composure there the Costa Gonzalez but again the relentless work rate and desire from this young side to get men behind the ball to regain their defensive structure and shape it's QPR look to find a way back into this game it's 1-0 to the Cherries here on ACB TV Occo now couldn't quite get the pass right to the goal scorer Dan Adua J has 11 goals this campaign and is the Cherries top goal scorer it's a good pattern of play there from QPR and they look to head towards the Cherries goal again Marcus Dawes there good defensive work from him the shot comes in harmlessly over yes definitely it looks like Balin Johnson coming on Michael looks like he's holding his hamstring a little bit here Ferdy looks like he's running on a little bit of empty so see where El gets Balin on QPR are also making a change as Murphy makes way Murphy is replaced by Dan Sir and Michael de Costa Gonzalez will make way here for AC Bournemouth he was the hero of the last round against Exeter City with two brilliantly taken goals and he will be replaced here at Vitality Stadium Tommy what do you make of Michael de Costa Gonzalez this evening yeah he's hardly trained to be fair to him over Christmas the lads get a little bit of time for the youth team off over Christmas and he actually come back a little bit early to try and get himself as fit as possible so it's a testament to him that he's got to 75 minutes he's worked his socks off the ball tonight we haven't seen as much of what we saw at Exeter but there's definitely been glimpses to see why we all should be quite excited about that Balin Johnson comes on Tommy just gives a little word on him yeah again he'll work his socks off he can play down the middle or wide he's got a bit of pace so hopefully we can see it now there's a chance on here Tommy to interrupt you with another bouton he's got acres of room bouton 2-0 to AC Bournemouth and the Frenchman had it all the time in the world in the penalty area and he makes it count a really good finish and it's AC Bournemouth 2 QPR 0 great to see the pace and power we were talking about QPR's tactics and how bad they can leave themselves at the back and they certainly did that and tactics absolutely spot on from Al Connell because he's been talking about that all week and exposing them areas and when we got into this position on his left foot really did fancy him lovely clean strike and left the goalkeeper no chance we said about 5 minutes ago that we'd hardly seen him in the second half and there he is making what could be a match winning impact for Alan Connell's side Neil a great finish what a really talented young player what a fantastic finish it was I did a question and answer with Noah Bhutan and Marcus Dawes before the game and I asked both of them what they knew about Alan Connell's career as a player Marcus knew loads Noah just said sorry I don't know anything I'm really sorry Gaffer well hopefully this can be rolled the boot will be on the other foot one day and we'll be asking Alan Connell what he can tell us about Noah Bhutan's career just a word on Noah Bhutan Stoke City to sign for us which again shows what great work is going on in the academy set up here rejecting a lot of category 2 academies to join us here at AFC Bournemouth yeah I think that's we have discussions about what we can offer these lads you know we haven't got that status as of yet I know we're working hard to try and get to that sort of level but once you get these lads down on trial they're not left with clubs and you show the attention and the care and the detail and the work you get putting into them you know it's hard for them to turn that down it's a really good piece of pressing there from all three of the Cherries front players as Bhutan slips indoors this is a chance Marcus Dawes very very good block there and the Cherries could have had three there but for a great piece of defending yeah fantastic block there Marcus Dawes looking to follow his housemate there Noah Bhutan onto the school sheet but I think you know Tom we will agree that it's important now 12 minutes to go bit of injury time Tommy the game is not won no definitely not personally I think it's the most dangerous score line possible because it can it can lull you into a full sense of security you see now even they're still leaving three up three and a half with the man sort of halfway there but you know you have to pay respect to that and see this game in a professional manner now corners whipped in it's cleared by Anthony Harris Winterburn what a lovely ball how do I try missed it and Bevan just couldn't quite capitalise but he'll keep the move alive done well there it's a low cross into the near post area and it's very well cleared but a really bright impact from the substitute now but I'm so glad he's come on because I've got a great start about him you know in the 2013 Champions League finally was a mascot and walked out with Bastion Swine Sliger I don't know where you get half of this information from Neil but it is outstanding outstanding what was the score Neil I don't know I don't know that take away from a very very good statistic Neil well not even a statistic just a fact Winterburn will look to whip this ball in drilled in it's a great area but Solomon is able to punch it clear and QPR will look to counter very very quickly here and it so in Bevan there with I don't know if you'd agree Tommy maybe a very good foul there as QPR had numbers forward yeah just stop the momentum again and yeah he's been very very mature in his performance tonight he's like you would expect from Owen put his body on the line and the thing I've loved about him tonight he's been really composed and made some really really good decisions and we've just seen another one there just to show that we're not by us here I'm really not sure how Bevan wasn't booked there for that foul he clearly stopped the break away I mean probably not going to complain but surely a definite yellow card as QPR will look to get down the left hand side but Fin Tonks who has been very diligent on this right on this right hand side sees it out for a throw in there's 10 minutes left to play here on ACV TV and if you're joining us on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube would like to thank you very very much for your support wherever you are around the world and again just to say another thank you to our match day sponsors Hernan Sons who have helped us to get this stream online and free for all of you so we'd just like to thank Hernan Sons for their support there's a couple of really nice touches from Baelin since he's come on and like we said we build these games up and it's tough for these lads when they're left out at the start in 11 when you see him come on and contribute like he has done in in the last few minutes it's really pleasing QPR will look to come again boot on applying the pressure here and again it's that never say die attitude of this football club that you need to succeed at this football club Tommy you know all about that yeah underpins everything that we're about you know working hard and being together and and yeah you can certainly see the hallmarks of that in this team just under nine minutes to play here I don't want to curse things it will take a huge effort from QPR to get back into this one but we've seen weirder things happening football particularly in the FA youth cup and again good work from boot on and doors on that left hand side not giving QPR an inch to breathe and again forcing another error it's a hallmark of Alan Connell teams isn't it Neil that never say die attitude relentless from minute one to 90 well yeah I mean it's a hallmark of the club you know the development squad the under 18s the first team as well you know and it's the first team manager will be absolutely delighted to see that the under 18s and the development squad are playing exactly how we want them to play so when players come into his environment they're ready and they know exactly what they're doing Scott Parker did actually manage an FA youth cup game here for Tottenham Hotspur back in 2018 it was back when he was in the Tottenham Hotspur setup they won on the evening the AFC Bournemouth squad features the likes of Nam the Offerbour Gavin Kilkenny, Jaden Anthony and the Tottenham lineup had Oliver Skip and Oliver Skip yet, he was a name on that night and he was actually quite impressive on the night as well remember Rio Griffith scored he's one to look out for the future playing in France a brief pause in play here as Finn Tonks hobbles off the pitch but we're just seeing the replay here of Noah Bhouton's goal it's a great angle this the composure he's comfortable as a left winger or a left back Noah Bhouton there's no left backs finish is it Tommy? no a fair play to Al Conor as well he's sort of transformed in this year into being a winger as opposed to a fullback he was very much a left back at the start of the season but with the pace and the power and the quality that he's got in the final third it's clear to see why I was converted in the way he has we've just seen a substitution here Finn Tonks unfortunately won't be able to continue he's had a very very impressive night Finn Tonks and I mean Palmer will come on in his place but Tommy he's been really impressive Finn Tonks he's done very well in his 1v1 duel in particular yeah I think he has and Al was very wouldn't say worried but he was very aware of the threat that QPR had out wide and there was a massive onus on the two fullbacks having good games tonight and Finn's been very steady away being composed with the ball and definitely took away the threat of QPR out wide today just add something else about Noah Bouton there it's just not what goes on on the pitch and on the training for pitch with these players it's the education side of it off the pitch that came over 18 months ago from France couldn't speak a word of English I interviewed him a couple of weeks ago and he's fluent now so that just shows you how dedicated and committed these lads are and have got to be when I actually come back to the club I was standing in a hotel for a couple of months and at the hotel was a gym that the youth team use and I was sitting there one evening and I had my dinner and I was watching the game it was nine half nine in the evening and he was just walking out the gym that's how dedicated he is to to his game and improving himself so you can see the work that he's doing he's getting the rewards QPR's chances continue like that for the final five minutes of the game I think we'll be quite pleased with that just under five minutes to go here Tommy it's always a dangerous position isn't it you might be 2-0 up but you don't know whether to stick or twist what would you be telling the players in this situation in your role there's no need to go chasing the game now stuff like this with Olly with the gold kicks showing maturity slowing the game down I've squeezed up here to get us up the pitch but managing the game with the ball for me was always easier than without the ball so if we can keep the ball for the next five minutes then we'll keep a clean sheet that was always set and show a bit of composure we should see the game out if we're sensible with it in comfortable fashion now hopefully doors unfortunately just slipped on the ball there and QPR have got bodies forward they need to throw them forward to get anything it's a low drive comfortable for Camus Wales under 17 international just slowing the game down there but again for a goalkeeper it can be such a great evening and then you're called upon in an instant and Neil you had to make the save well just looking at the clock 87th minute we're in tune and we think that's the first save that he's had to make yes they've had a couple of shots which have been on target probably but they didn't find their way through to him because the back four in front of him have been absolutely outstanding as have the whole team but I think that's the first save he's had to make the cherries again have been very energetic and diligent in their defensive duties this evening doors just couldn't quite beat his man there QPR will come again Ben Winterburn he's won it high and Neil you just wanted him to keep the ball there because he'd done all the hard work but just couldn't quite keep it well he had it you know he didn't have any no danger not being closed down just keep the ball there or hoof it in the corner anything just to you know wind the clock down now because like I said one save from the keeper in 87 minutes and they now got to try and find three goals from somewhere there are a lot of tired legs out there for the cherries as we approach the final two minutes here at Vitality Stadium it's a really clever pass that but just overcooked a little bit and again Camus playing almost like an experienced pro there just taking his time slowing things down telling the team to calm down you can see Alan Connell on the touch line as well as just telling his team just to stay calm the cherries will make a substitution when the ball next goes out of play just see off the screen Camus goes long it's intercepted and Winterburn brings down his man he has to be careful because he's on a yellow card the substitution will happen now and it is Marcus Dawes who has looked very lively in his central midfield roll slightly different to the wing position that he's played over the years and the QPR player is pushing Marcus Dawes off the pitch maybe a little bit extra there but Torre Williams comes on for him Tommy just gives a little bit of background on the Torre obviously we can see he's quite slight at the moment and he's a really lovely footballer he'll be a little bit more defensive mindset than Dawes and hopefully help us to keep the ball now because he's very very tidy and a clever player there's a great ball into the box and the offside flag is up can I give you a set about Torre Williams is it as good as the mascot stat though not quite so he qualifies to play internationally for England, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago Republic of Ireland and Pakistan I can assure you that Neil wasn't reading those lists of countries he remembered those all off the top of his head the Modal Pro has Baylin Williams looks to get in behind here and we're into the final minute here at Vitality Stadium 2-0 Tawasi Bournemouth and Tommy I don't want to jinx things but if you could give us a man of the match your choice for a man of the match we're going to put you on the spot right now with a minute to go, who's your choice and why that's not far away neither is that one no for me that Ben Winterburn has to stand out again his energy and his quality and his work rate has drove this team forward 30-0 for 60-70 minutes was absolutely superb we haven't seen him as much in possession in the second half but for the first half was really clever Archie another one works his socks off, Owen Bevan's been massive at the back Lewis Brown playing out of position so there's plenty of candidates Daniel getting his goal Noah with his goal as well taking us forward but I think Ben Winterburn has to stand out for me Nolly Camus claims the ball just as the fourth official puts the board up four minutes of added time surely I don't want to jinx things but surely the Cherries will be progressing to face either Leicester City or Crue Alexandra here in the fifth round in a couple of weeks time, Neil well, yeah fingers crossed but like we say, a lot can happen in four minutes we've seen that in a couple of first team games already this season some late goals, four and against but yeah Leicester against Crue is going to be played on Friday night Leicester play the FA Youth Cup games that they're training ground receiving strategic solutions so fingers crossed if you could just hear on the Tannoy there Ferdinando Co has been given the Sponsors Man of the Match award by Strategic Solutions so different to what Tommy Elfit thinks here on the stream as QPR looked to try and salvage a really late goal here that could change the tide of this tie but the ball reaches Camus and again, Neil use his intelligence to play down the clock I would imagine Matt, seriously if you asked 891 people in this crowd you would get 11 nominations for Man of the Match it just goes to show the standard of play that we've seen here this evening across the entire team and like you say it's very difficult to pick up one standout performer in this game and again, look at the relentless energy here and Ben Winterburn can drive forward here he looked to thread it through to know a boot on with the back heel but couldn't quite get it right but again, he's driven this team like you've said Tommy, we're in the 90th minute here and he's still looking to win the ball high up the pitch yeah, just like he could be a serious player for this club going forward you know and the chance on here for the visitors very well scouted by Owen Palmer the substitute it's a low one very comfortable for Camus again, and the 891 people in the crowd will have been very very pleased with what they've seen tonight Tommy across the pitch like we've just said I think the most pleasing thing I think you come, you see a team that's really really working hard you see a style you see a game plan everyone buying into it no egos, it's nice to come and watch and if you've watched tonight why wouldn't you come back and watch the next round that's the way I see tonight's performance it's been brilliant from 1 to 11 and the lads that have even come on as well they've all added to the performance so big big compliments to the whole group the chance on here for the substitute Johnson I just couldn't quite wrangle his feet together the crowd wanted a penalty for that and Archie Harris has done very very well there to win the ball he doesn't need to get involved in that 2-0 up with seconds left on the clock few unsavory scenes here cherries are winning 2-0 don't need to get involved in that as Archie Harris did very well to win that free kick he's been a bundle of energy tonight Harris he's overlapped Bouton several times he's been diligent in his defensive work the whole performance we've said for the last 5 minutes it's been absolutely superb and I think the biggest point of the night is what Neil said before there's only 4 second year scholars in this group and it makes a huge difference I know from experience when I was coming through the youth teams when you have more second years than you do first years and it tilts that balance it's a massive advantage it's actually going to be better next year and there's the full-time whistle it's been an excellent night for Alan Connell and his young team they've won 2-0 and it was a performance as we've said over the past 5 minutes that really really caught the eye they took the lead within 2 minutes thanks to Daniel, Adouer J's really really good practice has finished at the near post this is 11th goal of the season before Noah Bouton finished a brilliant team move really well with his left foot in the second half to make it 2-0 a very very impressive performance from Alan Connell's man Tommy, a good night all round absolutely superb leads to a lovely tie against either Crue or Leicester as I said before I saw Al's preparations for the games and QPR, big threats and down from London have some great players and you can see what they're trying to do and what they're about but I think we nullified them in every sense of their strengths and really imposed ourselves and made the game about us this evening and just a great performance all round and just a word Neil from you on Alan Connell you've known him for a long long time from when he was a player back here all the way to his coaching journey he's really excelled in this under-18s role hasn't he it's been an absolutely the job he's done here has been fantastic the club have given him the resources as they have the club coming through through the Premier League they have to put resources into the academy as well Alan has used them so wisely this team is an absolute joy to watch I'm lucky to have watched the last round and they were brilliant in that game as well but it's like Tommy says when you see the work that he does behind the scenes and people don't see that I'm not saying it's 24-7 but it's just the detail and every player knows exactly what they're doing on the pitch and they're doing a beach walk at 12 o'clock and when we went to Exeter for the third round it's on a coach and it's pre-match and everything is done like a first team game would be done so these lads know if and when they get there they know exactly what to expect and I just can't give him enough praise we're just seeing Bhutan's finish on the stream here but a really nice moment for these young players with their supporters, family, friends the 891 people in attendance this evening will be leaving Vitality Stadium satisfied and hungry for more FA Youth Cup action as soon as we get details of the Leicester City or crew Alexandra game we'll let you know it's a fantastic scene to hit Vitality Stadium and we're just seeing Ben Winterburn a fantastic display from him in particular Tommy this evening so just getting drowned out by the music there and he was absolutely fantastic he burst on the scene with us as I said he only trained a couple of days before our Premier League cup tie against West Brom really burst onto the scene that evening and he backed his performance up tonight along with others like asked me for a man on the match there but there could be 5 or 6, there really could even more Ben, Ferdy, Owen but they've all played absolutely superb credit to our Connell and the club and full time here at AFC Bournemouth whether you've joined us on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube we really appreciate your support around the world and a big thank you to our match sponsors Hearn and Sons who have helped us to bring this stream for you for free Neil, Tommy thank you very much for joining me in the Contribute here this evening a great night for AFC Bournemouth a great night for Alan Connell and a great night for the Academy thank you for joining us
