Chris, we don't have a nil-nil draw for a year and then you get two in two weeks. Yeah, the London buses, it was better than Norwich wasn't it in terms of a spectacle, in terms of all those opportunities to win the game. Probably should have won it, I think really, with the better of the opportunities. I mean actually, by the end of the season it might look a good point, but at the moment the way Watford had been playing it, it didn't look, you know, an away point and a clean sheet in the Premier League is not to be sniffed out, but when you play the bottom two, I think you expect him better than two nil-nil draws. I think the team would accept that, Eddie would accept that, absolutely. But yeah, it was a difficult game, Bournemouth showed glimmers of some of the attacking prowess coming back. I thought Ryan Fraser had a bit more of an impact than he had done in previous weeks. He's still just searching for that form, isn't he? But I thought he looked a bit more willing, he looked a bit more hungry, he had a couple of chances, had a good chance at the end himself. Just couldn't get the service to Cameron Wilson, that was the problem. I think I read a stat, you only had one touch in the Watford box all game, which for you number nine is obviously not enough service, but that comes from everybody, because Bournemouth expect goals from, I guess the whole of the front four, really, that Joshua King, who obviously got his chance back in the team, Harry Wilson and Ryan Fraser out wide when they came on later on, and obviously we saw Dan Juma for the first time from the start in the league, so yeah, all in all, frustrating to come away with nothing, but a better point than against Norwich. And speaking of Dan Juma, that chance just before halftime, he looked a certain goal, didn't it? It did, he got caught in two-mind slightly, did nothing, he didn't know whether to dink it over the keeper or whether to go low. In the end, he said after the game, I should have dinked it over him, but that's easy to, for anybody, we're all goal scorers from the stands, aren't we, when it looks easy, but I think a few games down the line, he probably would score that. A bit of pressure under the microscope of the Premier League, he probably bangs them in in training, you make the right decision in training, but of course a Premier League match environment is completely different kettle of fish. So, yeah, I mean, all in all, I thought he had an hour which is positive, one or two flashes, nothing major from him yet, but I think he's one of those who, that's his first 60 minutes properly in the Premier League, getting his teeth into a game. So, let's not jump to too many conclusions too soon, let's give him a chance to show what Bournemouth have paid 15 million euros for. There's definitely a player in there, a couple of nice bits of footwork, got a couple of shots away, obviously he got a couple of shots away here in the Norwich game as well. So, it's just going to be finding his best position. He obviously started on the right last week, which is his right footed, which unbalances the cherry's knack for having inverted wingers, as we've spoken about before. So, I guess where they're going to get the best out of him, he prefers to play on the left. So, yeah, we'll see whether he gets his chance of going against United. And we mentioned that chance for Dan Jimmer, but also Diego Rico looked like he could have striped one from 25 yards. Oh, yeah, that was a pelter, wasn't it? It really couldn't have, in commentary I said it was elements of Charlie Daniels here against Manchester City, where it just falls and you strike it with everything you've got. It didn't quite have the accuracy that Charlie had banging it off the top of the bar, but certainly gave Ben Foster something to think about, and we should mention Ben Foster because he, again, made a few saves that, you know, kept Bournemouth out. The chance that they did have, they found him equal to it. But, yeah, Rico, you know, he had a free kick as well that forced the keeper to make a save. So, he's inching closer to that first Bournemouth goal as well. And of course, you know, we mentioned up in the attack, but in the defence, another clean sheet, and that's two and two now. Yeah, and you know, building clean sheets is, I mean, Eddie, as a defender will love the clean sheets for sure. Again, they're relatively untroubled. You know, Aaron Ramster had to make a couple of good saves, and then we'll talk about him again in a moment. But, yeah, he had to make a couple of smart stops. Dele Feuw's always tricky, you know, he's always got that chance to unlock it, but I thought Steve Cook and Nathan Aker, again, were really solid. Adam Smith, you know, again, straight back in the team, but to good effect. And even Rico, you know, the problem with Diego Rico is he has got that chance to drop a bit of a clanger for want of a better word, where he just loses concentration for a second. We saw it, he tried a back heel on the edge of the penalty area. His own box, you know, they're the things that can really cost you. But I thought, actually, he defended pretty well against the likes of Dele Feuw who are tough customers. So, yeah, I continue to think he's grown with every game. And perhaps just one slight concern for Eddie House side, Jefferson Lerma and Philip Billing, both on four yellow cards each. Yes, it's a tightrope for sure. I mean, good in a way they didn't get it before this game coming up against Manchester United because you want your best players available for sure. And the hope is, of course, they're not suspended for the same game. The good news on that front is Dan Gosling is now back and available. So there isn't some more options in there along with Lewis Cook. So, yes, they are going to pick up yellow cards. I think you have to take that with these kind of players. You've seen Jefferson Lerma get suspended for big games before. That's part of the game that they are going to run that risk. So, yeah, the key now is hopefully for them not to be suspended for the same game. And just finally on Watford, a nil nil draw away from home. Yes, they're bottom of the league, but the cherry is just gradually adding points week after week in building that tally. And last week went up two places for drawing nil nil at bottom of the table. You know, that's the league table. I hadn't actually noticed the draws column, but there have been so many draws in the division. You know, apart from City and Liverpool at the top and maybe Chelsea and Leicester, of course, in the top four. But apart from that, everybody else is drawing. No one's really winning that many matches. I think Arsenal are fifth and they've won four out of 10 matches. So everybody's sort of, you know, three wins, four draws, three losses or something. Just Bournemouth's record. So they go into this game against United in that real tight cluster level on points with United in the middle of the table. So, yes, one point can count for a lot at this stage of the season. Absolutely. Well, one player who has had a great start to the season is, of course, Aaron Ramstell. Earlier this week, he won our Player of the Month competition. So let's take a look at his October highlights. Aaron Ramstell, his October highlights there. Chris, just how impressed have you been with Aaron Ramstell this season? Really impressed. Yeah, he's been fantastic. He really has. I thought last week against Watford, there was a nice tweet from Schwann Jallau. The former Bournemouth keeper about Aaron Ramstell's performance. Just saying that he's just growing with every game. And I thought he encapsulated it really well. The thing about Aaron Ramstell is he's not just his saves. The saves are what get the headlines. But I can't remember the last time he dropped across. Again, I'm touching wood as I'm saying this. You know, last week in really greasy conditions at Watford, he didn't put a foot wrong. Some of his playing out from the back. Willow was absolutely purring about one of the balls. He just pinged halfway down the field. Just picked out Adam Smith on the run. He didn't even have to break stride. So his distribution is improving. I think his communication has never been in doubt. But I think one of the question marks against him at the start of the season was his ability on the floor. And of course, with the new rules of the, you know, the goal kicks and things, that can come under a little bit more pressure as well. But he hasn't been found wanting at all in the area at the moment. So, yeah, fully deserving of that new contract that he earned. Fully deserving of the player of the month award as well. And when you look at the three players of the month that have been voted for already, Harry Wilson got the first one, Diego Rico got the second one, and Aaron Ramstell got the third one. At the start of the season, if you were forcing me to predict things as you do at the end of every preview show, and I usually get it wrong, I probably would have got it wrong in suggesting that none of them would have won a player of the month. You'd have been looking at the Callen Wilson, the Ryan Fraser's, Steve Cook, Nathan Ackay, some of those kind of regular stars, if you like. So I think it's really encouraging that some of the players you wouldn't have expected have really stepped up to the mark. And it's worth mentioning with Aaron Ramstell, he won it with over 50%, which is a huge margin considering, you know, how strong the defence had been. Steve Cook and Nathan Ackay both in that vote as well. Yeah, and saying that, of course, the goal of the month hasn't got many contenders, is it? So, from that point of view, it had to be someone at the other end of the field who was going to be in contention. So, yeah, for those clean sheets, I think absolutely right that he should win it ahead of some of the defenders as well. But I think again, you know, the fact he's established himself and that, you know, Bournemouth fans will have been unsure at the start of the season. They'll have known what he did last year at Wimbledon. They'll have seen him in and around the place, but haven't really seen him that much in action. What can this guy do? Might have watched him under 21s or England under 20s matches. But now, you know, he is a popular figure already. You know, he got a great reception last week from the fans at Watford. I just hope tomorrow, you know, against United. He's already proven himself against the big guns that they've played already this season. So, I'm sure it will be a big stage for him and he'll be up to it again. And of course, he's had his lone spells. He's been out at Chesterfield, out at Wimbledon last season. He would have learnt an awful lot to now prepare himself to play against Manchester United. And I think there's probably, as a goalkeeper, you probably, the key is that you treat every game the same. You know, whether you're at Wimbledon playing against whoever, Fleetwood or Morkham or whoever, to something playing against United or City or, you know, dealing with some harsh away fans as well as he's had to do at Aston Villa and Places and Southampton already this season as well. So, yeah, the occasion doesn't seem to be anything that bothers him as a goalkeeper. You know, sometimes there can be nerves. Sometimes you think, oh, do they want the ball back to their feet? But it doesn't display any nerves at all. And I think if you back yourself and you back your ability, and obviously you've got the faith of people like Eddie Howe back in your ability and the players around you, I think that's really key as well. He's obviously instilled confidence into the back four. And as a unit, yeah, I mean, yes, the goals have dried up at the other end, but you can't, sometimes you can't have everything. You have to, there has to be a bit of give and take. So solidifying Eddie Howe would like to win 1-0 rather than 4-3 every week. Absolutely. And it's worth mentioning with Aaron Roundsdale. Yes, he's very young, but across the whole squad, Bournemouth have the youngest average squad in the Premier League with 25 years and 66 days. So it's not just him, but across the whole squad we've got youngsters coming through and really showing their potential. Yeah, and you look at, you know, some of the bigger clubs. You look at Chelsea under Frank Lampard this year and they're trying to obviously move towards a younger model and promoting some of the players who've been working hard in their youth teams to earn their chance. Manchester United, who we'll see here, we'll see some of their homegrown youngsters as well because Oligodd O'Solshaw is going that way. So as we've said before, you have to produce your own players. Sometimes, of course, you'll, you know, sign some in. Aaron Roundsdale will sort of class as a Bournemouth product because although he hasn't actually played that many games here, you know, he was signed before he'd played too many for Sheffield United and obviously went out on loan and really earned his trade. So the hard work that Bournemouth have done on the training ground with him, you know, has obviously played a huge part. But yeah, now's the time of Bournemouth hopefully to see some of those in the under-21s, making the step up. Sam Surridge, of course, is the obvious example who's out in the championship at the moment doing well and obviously, you know, has earned himself international recognition as well. So yeah, I think, you know, to have one of the youngest and obviously a predominantly British sort of base squad as well with one or two foreign imports as well, I think he's really encouraging. Absolutely. Well, next up for the cherries is the visit of Manchester United here tomorrow. Let's take a look at what Eddie Howell had to say in his pre-match press conference. But the players have really given two good defensive performances, actually three because I thought for the majority of the Arsenal game we were pretty good as well. So that's good signs for the future for us. And then you look back to last week and we had chances again against Watford. So in two of the three games, I think we've had opportunities to score, hasn't quite happened, but I back our players. And I think that's the simple message from me. I think we've got good enough players to score goals. We believe in the team and the way that we attack. And I think the goals will come. I think from our perspective, we're relatively happy with what we've done so far this season. I think there's a lot more to come from the team. I genuinely believe that we can play better and we can achieve some really good things this season. Certainly looking at the last few games, which I have in great detail, I think they've played really well. Last year was a really tight game. Swung their way in the last few seconds of the match, but I thought we gave them a good match. Yeah, Dan's getting closer. Really pleased to have him back. He's a real energiser, great character, really upbeat guy. And it's been great to have his energy and personality in training this week. Well, that was Eddie Howell speaking in this morning's press conference. Chris, Manchester United. They haven't perhaps had the start to the season that they would have wanted, but it's Manchester United. They're going to be a threat, aren't they? Yeah, and they've just oiled the wheels, haven't they, in the last three games really? It's amazing to think they hadn't won a waste in February before these last three matches. But yeah, I mean, three games on the bounce. They've done a bit of travelling, obviously, to part of Zambill grade and then to Norwich and then down to Chelsea. And actually, to be fair, you know, a hard game at Chelsea on Wednesday, back up north, back down here for a Saturday lunchtime game. And they play quite a strong team against Chelsea as well. They didn't make that many changes. So, you know, hopefully, you know, that might give Bournemouth a little bit of a percentage edge somewhere. But yeah, I mean, they've had a tough start and everybody's already talking about the fact that the biggest thing they can hope for this year is Champions League qualification, which if you think of Manchester United going back five or six years, I mean, it's unthinkable that they would be happy with just qualifying for the Champions League next year and maybe winning a trophy. And I think, you know, the winning of the trophy was probably why Solcia went quite strong in midweek. They've obviously built up a bit of momentum as well. He wanted to keep that going, I'm sure. But the League Cup is a very realistic opportunity for them to win a trophy. So not surprising at this stage to see unlike Liverpool and Arsenal and other teams who made a lot of changes, who've got bigger fish to fry, higher up the league probably. For United, the League Cup could be a big competition this year. So from that point of view, let's hope that one or two of those players have got a bit of a hangover from that, albeit you don't get many hangovers when you win usually. So, yeah, three wins on the bounce away from home. Obviously nicked it in the last minute here last year, which was really heartbreaking for Bournemouth having worked so hard to get a point. And to be honest, the games here against United have been relatively competitive. There's been one or two that United coasted to a two-nil win a couple of seasons ago, but Old Trafford's been a difficult place to go sometimes. But here, they've always been pretty entertaining games when we go back to the one that has been out on social media this week as the Thursday throwback, the two one from the first Premier League season. That will be a great memory for everybody to have. And it's about time that obviously Bournemouth haven't beaten United since then. So it's about time that stat was rearranged. And you mentioned there that, of course, you know, there are three unbeaten. They have done a lot of travelling and playing a Wednesday night and then a Saturday early kickoff. It's not ideal for anyone, is it? Not great. No, we've already seen, you know, Jürgen Klopp talking about pulling out of the next round of the Carabaugh Cup because it clashes with the FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar. So, you know, the big, I mean, they've got big squads. That's not, you know, mess around with that. I mean, the travelling for Bournemouth and the fixture schedule for a squad like Bournemouth would be a lot tougher. But there's no reason that the big clubs should have to play their, you know, their weaker teams, if you like. You want to be seeing the best players play. So, you know, no problem at all with Solskjaer playing that team on Wednesday night if they obviously get a result tomorrow from a United perspective. Obviously, we're hoping that the players are shot from the last three games they've had and come down here a bit, you know, a bit leggy or whatever it is. But I'm pretty sure the luxury jets that players travel on these days aren't so bad as sitting on the coach on the M6 coming down. But yeah, ultimately, you know, they have, they've missed the car coup, haven't they, this year? They haven't replaced him. They've lost Pogba through injury. So that's two pretty big holes in your team. Obviously, Harry Maguire has solidified things at the back. So Cullen Wilson tomorrow up against his England teammate who, you know, they've played a back three, which has been taking a little bit of time to settle in with Lindelof in there as well. MacTomone seems to be, you know, inking himself in as a sort of a bit of a replacement for Pogba and is one of their rising British stars, obviously a Scotsman who's impressed in the last few games. So, yeah, and of course, Rashford, you know, scored a great free kick in midweek, scored the winner here last year, scored against Bournemouth at Old Trafford last year. So, you know, when given the chance in the right position, you can't keep someone like him quiet. It's difficult. Absolutely. And as for Bournemouth, they'll be given a massive boost by the fact that Dan Gosling is back in training. And, you know, David Brooks isn't too far away. It's all coming together quite nicely over the next few weeks. I think the medical staff are pleased to see the door keep revolving and another one heading out and not coming back in. So brilliant to see Dan Gosling back. He had obviously a pre-season worked so hard to get to get ready for the start of the season and then had an injury just before the start of the season. So, you know, when you see some competition come in in your place as well, you'll feel building obviously coming in, albeit a different type of player. So, I think it's, I think in the midfield we are going to see with Dan Gosling back in there now and Lewis Cook available as well. We're going to see a bit more of Eddie's sort of horses for courses for a particular game. A particular player is going to be more suited for tactical reasons. So, the one thing about Dan Gosling is he is different to the others. You know, Lermer and Billing pretty similar. Lewis Cook, bit more that creative sort of player. Dan Gosling, all energy, all over the pitch everywhere. Often is the one who covers the most ground. You know, it does offer that slightly different option. And sometimes people feel like, at the moment I think, the sort of the drive from central midfield is maybe one thing that's lacking slightly. You know, with Jefferson Lermer and Billing doing so much hard physical work up and down, sometimes Dan Gosling is the one who does pop up from midfield. He'll be there on the penalty spot to finish it. I think of that Southampton goal away last season, brilliant goal. He was the one who'd run 80 yards to get there. He's the guy that can do that. So, at times you need someone like him, whether they'll get thrown straight back in tomorrow, on the bench, I would think would be the sort of percentage play from Eddie. But yeah, really good to see him back. He's ready to go, spoke to him before the game, and he's absolutely itching to get going, I can tell you. So, the start I wanted to throw in, by the way, is that Bournemouth haven't drawn 3-0-0s in a row for 20 years. And Eddie Howe played all three of the ones that they did draw. Back in 1999, there's probably some cherries fans watching you. Went to those, Charlton in the league cup twice and Blackpool away. Cherries won on penalties, I said to Eddie this morning, you must be happy with the three clean sheets. And he was more happy to blame Steve Fletcher for the fact they hadn't scored at the other end of the field. So, yes, hopefully not another 0-0 tomorrow. Well, anything can happen, can't it? And just on Manchester United, obviously, no Pogba for them, but you mentioned Rashford and Marcial as well. They've got threats all over the pitch, don't they? Yeah, Marcial scored here, of course, last year as well. So, he's another one that Bournemouth have just struggled to pin down a little bit. But yeah, Rashford, I mean, you look at the guys like Lingard, who can't really get in their team, you know, he played in the league cup but can't really get in. Some of their youngsters, you know, the likes of Brandon Williams, who's been involved, James Garner was involved as well. So, yeah, I applaud SoulShar for, you know, having the boldness, if you like, for a team like Manchester United to promote some youngsters. We haven't mentioned Daniel James yet. I know he's not a homegrown youngster and import, but he's been the one player. Actually, if you read United's sort of blogs and listen to podcasts and things, he's been the one player, I think, who has actually managed to maintain a level of consistency after making that huge jump from Swansea to the glare of Manchester United. So, you know, again, he'll, as a Welsh international, he'll be well aware of, you know, Harry Wilson and David Brooks and Chris Mepper, I'm sure, obviously not all of whom will be involved tomorrow. But yeah, so we'll have to keep an eye on him as well and those curling balls inside the far post. And just finally, what's that school prediction? I should always give up doing these predictions because it's not been going that well actually. At least the one thing that people can use if they aren't having a go on mansion bit, they can basically completely ignore what I say. That's very true. So I've never yet predicted Bournemouth going to lose a game because why would I do that? So let's say it's going to be a draw this week. I'm going for 1-1. What we're going to end the 0-0 run? Well, there we go, a 1-1 draw. If you are over 18 and you want to have a go at predicting the score this weekend, head over to cherrieschampions.com. You could be in with a chance of winning a signed Bournemouth shirt. It's also worth mentioning that if you're coming here tomorrow, we will be giving away Cherry Rolypolys in association with Mansion Bet. Rolypolys? Your eyes just lit up right there. I am, straight into the Rolypolys. Here we go, fantastic. Is Harry giving them out himself? Well, you're going to have to ask Mansion Bet that one. Come to the ground. They'll be available from 10.30am. That's all we've got time for today. If you're not coming, make sure you listen to Chris on BBC Radio Solent for free live commentary. Bye for now.
