 Hello, good afternoon. Welcome along to Vitality Stadium where Bournemouth's development squad are in action today in the league and going well as well at the moment. Two sides in the top three in their divisions in the north and the south and looking to get into the playoffs if they finish in the top two. Just a few games left to go between now and the end of the season. It could in theory be a dress rehearsal for the playoffs if both of these sides get through and one finishes top and one finishes second. It is Bournemouth against Sheffield United. I'm Ian Wilding here for this live coverage here with asset and delighted to say that joining me, two first team players as well, Alex Scott and Ryan Christie. Great to have you there. First of all, Ryan, how much are you looking forward to seeing the players in action? Because there's a number I suppose who have been training with the first team as well. Yeah, absolutely. Obviously a few boys that have joined us over the last, well through the course of the season to be fair. So yeah, looking forward today, hopefully a positive result for Bournemouth and I look into the future for me behind the mic. Absolutely, yeah. I don't want to have many more. As for you, Alex, when you look at Bristol City and when you were there, semi-finals you were saying that you got there as well and got to the playoffs. Yeah, I played in this league as well a few years ago when I was at Bristol. So yeah, it's a tough league and what the lads have done here, their first season in cap two and their first season in this league they've done incredibly well. But yeah, they've got to keep pushing. I think Sheffield United were always a tough side when we used to play them. So yeah, it's going to be a good game. I'm looking forward to it. They had done so well in the league and also got to the last 16 of the Premier League cap and went in front as well at the Silver Lake Stadium against Leeds United and you don't need to lose in that game by three goals to two. We brought you live coverage of that game and one man who's on the pitch was our summariser that evening and that is D'Costa Gonzalez. So Sheffield United get us underway and Ben Winterburn as well who's had a lone spell at Weymouth was also with us that evening. But it comes long this time from Pitten. Now Archie Harris back from Bournemouth, back to the goalkeeper Cal McKenna who we were sitting down with this week and he'll pair it from the club. Out to the right hand side to Tonks. Tonks is cross. And how good is this? You think that Vitality Stadium for these players to get that bit of experience at this ground, whatever way it comes? Yeah, absolutely. I think it's growing and the boys get to play at the ground. Obviously the pitch this time of year is growing as well so it helps in that. Certainly something I didn't get when I was growing up to get to play in front of a stadium when I was younger. So good experience for them and hopefully we can make it count. Now here comes Macedo now for Sheffield United who themselves have been doing really well averaging nearly two points a game in their division. That comes back to Pitten. That's the thing Ryan, I suppose the exposure with these streams we can bring playing more and more at the grounds of the clubs. It's improved drastically hasn't it over the last five to ten years? Yeah, yeah definitely. I mean I can only talk from experience in Scotland but when I was coming through the youth it was a bit of a shambles if I'm brutally honest. You know a game every second week and no real rhythm and stuff like that. So it's nice to see now obviously. It seems much more easier for the younger boys to integrate into the first team all around the country in different clubs. So we've got a few cracking boys coming through the youth now. Me and Al can say that from like we said the boys training with us and hopefully we can see them in the first team soon enough. Well Sheffield United in possession as it goes out from the left hand side from Faxons Pass. The Sheffield United goalkeeper just kicked long there aimed up towards Ryan Ohne but headed away again from Harris. But here comes Sheffield United potentially the first chance of the game. It's Tinsdale comes inside and they've had a good effort there from the edge of the box from Marsh but sales wider the post and out for a goal kick. Another look at that one again. First real opportunity in the very early stages of this game. Good first touch couldn't quite find the target. How are you feeling fitness wise now though Alex as well you're feeling good. Yeah I feel very good to be fair. Obviously I had the two injuries at the start of the season which you know didn't help me at all and it was a tough period that I was going through then. But yeah to be back now and I've been fit for a little while so yeah I'm very pleased and I'll be just looking to try and get back into the team before the end of the season. Must have been frustrating wasn't it signing for the club knowing full well that it's going to be a little while before you get your Premier League action. Yeah and that was really hard. You know you have waited two years for that opportunity to be a Premier League player and then you come in injured and you've got to wait another 12 weeks before you can actually play. So that was probably the hardest thing coming in here. You know the lads were brilliant with me when I first joined and that definitely helped me settle in and when I did get my chance. You know I was grateful and you know the second injury came at a horrible time. I'd only played three or four games and then got injured again so you know these are things that had never happened to me really in football. I'll just pause it. Here's an opportunity again now here's the penalty error. Oh no he's not live. He went a free kick here. Didn't see that one coming Ryan to be honest. Soft for me that one. I'm used to Scotland fouls are turned off. Yeah he didn't hesitate to do the referee with that one. Let's have another look at that one again. There's nothing much in there was there surely. Right on the line as well. If that was in the box with the referee have given that that is the question. You see Man United the other weekend where Ry got clattered on the edge of the box. We didn't get it then either did we? No it's not called that out. Keep up board. Could open up a can of worms that one again. So Mercedes over it and Marsh as well. The cherries are really hoping they're not punished as a result of this as well. They're not going to be that time. Wall did well. Did its job to Mercedes. Here we go. Christy Alex Scott with us for the first half here for this live coverage today to a Williams. He's a cracking young player. He's I don't even know how old he is but for the size he is. The amount of times he's come up and trained with us and I think he might be a bit small for this level. Then nobody can take the ball off him at first team level. So yeah fair play to him looking forward to seeing him today. To do that inside your own box as well shows confidence isn't it at this level. I know he's a confident young player. Especially playing centre midfield. I think you need that to be able to get on the ball and stuff. So credit to him. That is Jack Waldron. Got some space to look to exploit here. Waldron's cross. Cherries a big counter. Yep. Did well McKenna. They said we've been speaking to him this week but of a character by all accounts. Is he the goalkeeper? Yeah. He's a good guy. Right. Do you want to speak with him? You're a Scottish mate. Finally got a Scottish mate at the club. He's real Scottish instead of pretend Scottish for me. There is an opportunity now though. They could take advantage. And they do take advantage from Ryan O'Neil. Commentators care for that. They had the space through the legs there of McKenna. And Sheffield United have had a couple of efforts. They've been the side on top so far. Three kick on the edge of the box. And a shot which went wide. This time O'Neil makes no mistake. And the blades have a 1-0 lead. Yeah. Just cowl trying to play out isn't it? There we are. We were just... Good finish. Good clean the legs. I think his ears were burning probably as we were talking about in there at that point. And then a well taken finish in the end as you say. Femoni and Sheffield United have an early 1-0 lead here at Vitality Stadium. So Bournemouth looking to respond. Cherries have won their last two games both away from home 2-1 against Charlton. Tideman scoring twice and 1-0 down. And then beating Wigan 2-1 four days ago to Costa Gonzalez and Tideman on the score sheet again. And now here is Harris for the Cherries. He's got a bit off. Given away here. The flag does go up. And Louis Marsh is offside by quite a bit here at Bournemouth. So an early lead then from Sheffield United. That's given away there. And O'Neil might take advantage again but there he is once more. 2-0 Williams cleared up now towards Clark. The Isle of Whitebourne striker. Mousado down the line. Here's Blacker. Good defender. He's putting some good challenges already hasn't he? Good defender. Yeah great player. He's been with us a few times as well and you can see the quality that he's got with the ball and without the ball as well. So yeah he's a top-top player and hopefully gets his opportunity soon with us. Have you found that most of these players have stepped up to the senior side at some point and trained with you? Yeah most of them now throughout the course of the season have joined us for a few sessions and stuff. Sometimes if we're low on numbers or other boys are injured. And I credit to them that they never really look out of place which is good. You know we've had Michael up training with us most of this week and he's been brilliant. There's a chance now that again he's good running there from Macedo. And Harris does well there. A few players out on loan as well. Winterburn. Greenwood as well. He's another player Alex with potential. The left back. Yeah he's a great player as well. I think he'll get his opportunity soon enough. I think going out on loan, speaking with him was pretty important that he got some games under his belt to put him in the right place to hopefully push. You know Milos and Lloydi who whoever's here at the minute so yeah he's a great player and he's impressed. I know us players and I'm sure the coaches as well when he's been up with us. That's a good thing about the first team now as well. Fallback's now generally back in action. There was a point where I had no fallbacks at all I think in the team wasn't there? A couple of months ago. I had to try and dangle out there didn't I? Yeah. I'd say they're dangle with a kit man. Yeah he's getting close to that point I think wasn't it. Shuffle United now though with Osborne on the ball. The cherries win the throw. So an early goal it was scored from O'Nate in the penalty area. There's Williams but one bat man from Blacko and at the moment it meant him going with Shuffle United. So 45 points and 25 matches then for Bournemouth at the moment. I've won 14, drawn 3 and lost 8. You often see about 3 or 4 goals a game at this level. Let's go back to Manchester United last week. Either you've got over the last minute penalty controversy yet or do you rather I didn't bring that up? No comment. I prefer not to speak. Yeah. Very much. It's probably best though isn't it? It comes back to Faxham now for Shuffle United. Played back again from Osborne. How are you feeling about the game on Sunday? Looking forward to it. It'll be a tough test obviously. They're off a big result last weekend against Arsenal and then obviously last night they managed to progress in Europe as well. They've obviously had an amazing season villa. Obviously a really tough place to go but through the course of the season we've probably played our better stuff against the better teams which is nice. Fingers crossed we can go there and put in a good performance and hopefully that leads to a point or even three. And Alex how great would it be to beat that points Tally? I think it's 46 seconds to beat that record. That's got to be the aim now isn't it? Yeah I think so. It's something we spoke about a few weeks ago before the games against Shuffle United, Luton and teams like that where we almost thought if we get 38 points we'd be safe and that was never the aim though, we wanted to push and beat the record points Tally. That's something the managers spoke about quite a bit so we've got six or seven games left to do so so we'll be looking to go a step in that direction on Sunday and then keep pushing until the end of the season. It's a long old campaign to finish as high as you can. Here's Shuffle United on the ball now with Hampton that comes back to Osado. He's lively as well. He is and Dominic Sadi trying to get the ball off him. It's a good ball as well with the left foot. That is out for a goal kick. Mercedes. Is the problem any right? Mercedes. Mercedes, a name like that. You're normally 20 million instantly aren't you? Yeah, what to look out for isn't it? It comes back down the left hand side. As soon as you hear the word Mercedes you just automatically think Winger don't you really? Yeah. Shuffle United on the ball now with Hampton. Player wants it on the right hand side. That's Jack Waldron. Headed on. This could be Cherry's first chance here. Could open up here for Clark. Finish. Ash Clark's shot is blocked and it goes out for a corner but the first time Cherry's got in the box and created an opening that hopefully something they can build on there. It's the Iriola press in full flow right there. Love to see it. Beautiful to see. Yeah it was. It's obviously trickling down now to all levels and now it's going to be sadly to take the corner kick back again, crossed in. It's true from the training ground. Routine. It was. No farmer. Connell's obviously been working on that one. The coach for the players in training this week but now it's a chance for Shuffle United to get on the breakaway. Left hand side it goes out to Osborne. We wait for it. Mercedes is one of them and Clark does well there. Tracks back and defends well for his teammates there and then tins down now for Shuffle United. So at the moment just one goal separating these two sides. It came on seven minutes but he's got space here Waldron. Waldron's crossed and just away that time from Oney once more who was just needed the touch. Yeah, causing problems down this right on side aren't they? Good ball as well isn't it? Just needs to be attacked. Very good ball. So what do you think the main strengths of Andoni Auerlo are Ryan as a manager? Good question. Probably what? That's on the spot question that one. I'll give you a couple of minutes to think about it. Come back to me. To be fair I think it's obvious to see when you probably ask all the fans they'll come up with the same thing. I think the brand of football we're playing this season compared to last obviously a little bit different last season was more about just staying in the league and grinding out results but this season we've probably come on leaps and bounds in terms of taking the game to teams and dominating games which to play as a player is certainly a lot more enjoyable so you know bro and his training has been amazing I think all the boys love his training from when he stepped in pre-season and obviously his ideas are very clear when he's coaching so it makes it pretty easy to play under him when you know exactly what he's after. Now is a chance for Sheffield United. Macedo again Macedo certainly wasn't going to get anything from that one and he always seems very calm but Sheffield United now we'll come back to that the second is Oney again the gold scorer did well to Harris once more always seems calm all the time certainly in the interviews have you seen another side to him Alex has he Daneio Aoyolo has he been one of those where half time you see a different side to him sometimes. No never really I think what you see is what you get is a very calm guy and you know when we're not playing our best football in the first half he's never going to be shouting and screaming in the changing rooms because I think he knows that's not going to get the best out of the group we've got especially it's quite a young group as well so I think he knows how to manage every player pretty well so he's the top guy you get some of all the players joins in with you know the banter and whatever that goes on so he's a good manager a great guy as well. Good job at the Cherries this season here in this asset production development squad here in the league are currently flying high at the moment in the table but they trail shuffle united who are also flying high in the north division this behind closed doors match chance now though for Dacosta Gonzalez good defending again they've done well haven't they but good play there again from Dacosta Gonzalez to lose it and then track back a minute back hold on had a few of them still the one goal in it 7 out of chance he's playing well here Walton down this right hand side in space just seems to stick doesn't it to Artie Harris and then he clears it up towards Clark here Clark to Tideman who's got three goals in two games can he build on it here nowhere to go at the moment it was so close there from Dacosta Gonzalez good counter attack lovely shot as well wasn't it good counter attack good ball up the field and then the sensible wall back from Tideman promising promising signs let's see another routine maybe here's hoping let's have another look at that one again it was that first thought that was heading for the bottom corner well saved from Faxon in the shuffle united goal certainly scored from there a few times in the past once again to a Williams to go over this time for the corner the old routine again nearly paid off now Shuffle United the side who are on the breakaway now with Mousado they've gone from one side to the other here Tinsdale back to Waldron that's much of my life where is it there's someone coming at a distance there out to the right hand side here is Waldron again and another throw so 20 minutes in at the moment Shuffle United you say probably have a deserved lead the way they're playing but Bournemouth have had those couple of chances yeah I think we're slowly getting back into the game we've had a couple of chances on the break hopefully we get a few more before the end of the first half crossed in again from Waldron there's plenty of that ball on that right hand side so far back to Pitten that's an Oscars for Shuffle United so that's given away back from Kinsey the captain goes out to Costa Gonzalez to Costa Gonzalez forward pass some tongs and then Tyneman takes an affliction and that could have bobbed in quite easily there's three or four counters Alex as well so far I don't mind the game plan there Shuffle United you can tell they're a good team in possession so I don't know if that's something they spoke about going into this game you know soak the pressure up a little bit and then hit them on the counter but so far obviously 1-0 down but we've had a few chances off the back of it so I think the goal's coming and Michael de Costa Gonzalez is in there again and he's in the penalty area as well oh and it's well it's just time down on here get's away with that one I feel like guarding Evel with all these oh Neville and Carrar in the commentary box so another look well that was I managed to get down there the second time the goalkeeper but in the meantime Shuffle United down the other end De Costa Gonzalez just misses it and it's Blacker forward from to here out to the right there's another chance for Waldron Cross Dyn takes an affliction and that wins a corner kick the shot that time comes in from Luis March have won a few corners Shuffle United just wed on Michael de Costa Gonzalez and he's trained with you a few times obviously and then his brother Malcolm he's about six foot six by all accounts he's another one what position's he blow he's striker as well get him in he's been with us this past week to be fair and then you can see how good he is you know going 1v1 how direct he is and I think you know right touching it before but the young lads now they've just got no fear whatsoever I think not just here but you know around the world really I think the young players coming through just I've no real fear they're happy to go in and they know and believe how good they are and they feel they can compete at the level so it's good to see and I think it was the same Dom CD when he's come up with us as well he's a great player yeah and good to see a few of them making the step up and being in the squad at times this season so it's Jack Waldron probably the first real stoppage of the game so far let's have a look at the most recent Borm of Chance here good breakaway we've seen it two or three times already and the shot from timing did take a deflection along the way yeah it's just went a bit to the right hand side here unfortunately but certainly worth a go I suppose Alex this could be a benefit to them couldn't it a bit of a stoppage and a regroup with Alan Connell yeah Alan get them in tell them what they need to be doing better I think at the minute it's a bit of a scrappy game to be fair you know there's probably quite a bit on the line both teams fighting for first and second positions in their respective leagues so yeah good chance to get round the lads and tell them what they can what they can improve on how long is that we've got 20 minutes left so hopefully finish the half pretty strong how important is it Ryan that competitiveness to help them when they get into first team football yeah it's a big factor obviously especially at this level you know it's pretty cutthroat as an industry as soon as you get to this kind of age group so you know certainly adding the competitive edge will toughen them up and you know can only help for when they get the step up to first team football certainly helps few players out on loan as well at times this season including substitute Johnny Stuttles at Wimborn and they've got a big game tomorrow if they win their game they win the league and win promotion against second place Froome as well so it's a huge game for them forward to Dacosta Gonzalez Hampson and again oh offside that wasn't it yet should be a liner no missing about for the lines been there was it straight flag went straight up confident decision I like that yeah get them in the prime well played yeah I'm enjoying this as well it's easy to go under a little bit for Kyle you know you made that mistake at the start and that's good look at that yeah that's cool and calm isn't it yeah me Scottish man with flair yeah easy yeah he was cool as anything there that's what it is big Kyle there not faced by anything is it goes long that time mixes it up second ball game isn't it right yeah need a Christy in there runner and a cook of your people you can both get your boots on in the second half get yourself in there I don't have a place in this team man nah that's the thing as well with the Tideman Dacosta Gonzalez Sadie Clark they all kind of put them a shift on there not playing me and Ryan Planner can maybe give you 5 minutes of event child an old selection head ache it would be for Alan Connell it's Bournemouth now looking to get on the attack here forward from Tonks Finn Tonks who's actually started it to and over town has had loans at Bashley as well and Ringwood Neil Perret will be joining us in the second half for commentary and I will credit Neil with a lot of these facts because he's the one who's managed to find a lot of them on the website but now it comes up towards the right hand side to Waldron his best fact is the Dacosta Gonzalez stat getting out every game about the fact he had a moped accident have you heard that one when he was younger he's to be right footed and now because of his accident he's now left footed I've heard that I watched one of the games before and I've heard the stat have you heard it before I've heard it on here now here's a chance get me a moped I want to be left footed as well good defending that is mental isn't it he crashed the moped he was on a moped as he was younger with his dad and he came off the moped and injured his right foot and now he's naturally left footed and I asked him last game to confirm and he said it was absolutely true wow I wish I had an excuse for that from my right foot I didn't even think anything like that was possible until he told us that a few weeks ago he confirmed it but here's Masado, Masado with a pass this opens up here and looks to try and find the target and Billy Blacker goes over the bar stays 1-0 to Sheffield United another effort that time but an early goal from Sheffield United and they try to build on at first 5-10 minutes after that goal but feels like Cherry's just growing into the game slightly as you mentioned there settle down a little bit now keeping the ball better well that's the old curse again but away from Clark so a host of players have gone on into the first team over the years likes of go a bit further back, likes of Zamora and Anthony Kilkenny back from Brown Lewis Brown who was his cousin Fletcher Brown named after Steve Fletcher it's another one for you got a feel for her here comes Sheffield United the flag stays down that time and that was just a whisk away that time from Lewis Marsh good build up play again just away away from the goalkeeper there McKenna wider the post tried to put it in off the post but didn't quite work out that time there can't be many people in the world named after Steve Fletcher for what it comes maybe there's more than you think here's Masado pitton out towards to here might fall again it does towards the centre back actually Harris now for a goal kick so into the last call of an hour then of the first half any highlight games for either of you this season though I mean that comeback against Luton was quite something wasn't it this season yeah that was a special one obviously my United away was a big one for me I was a my United fan growing up so to go and get a result like that old Trapper was pretty cool yeah we've been lucky there's been a few good ones to remember from the season hopefully we can add a few more to know in the end of the season yeah it'd be great if that's the case Alex for you any ones that I mean there's been some good ones this season isn't there more highs and lows recently yeah Fulham at home I enjoyed the most yeah probably because of the assist that's about it that is I've mentioned that a few times yeah Fulham at home I think yeah we batted them really for 90 minutes for the game and then Cine scored the world he as well so it was a great day for everyone boxing day as well so perfect time to do it the assist always makes it all the more enjoyable doesn't it as well as it comes back now towards Hampson, Hampson's cross and again chance for 0-8 looking for his brace ball into the penalty area couldn't find the target this SS stream today here the development squad only four more games today including today for the Cherries looking to finish in the top two and get into the playoffs as you said before the game it could be a dress rehearsal if these two both make the playoffs but it's the blades who have advantage so far Masado again good defender did enough there to put him off did Osborne and that's out for a goal kick Cherries last defeat was 3-1 at Burnley that was on the 22nd of March and it came off the back of that 4-2 loss at Ipswich but two wins since very rarely do you get a 0-0 at this level we've not got one here either Ryan Christie and Alex Scott with us here in the commentary box for this live coverage today joining us for the first half breath we need we need a hand there right we need something still getting over the free kick that was awarded on the edge of the box early on that one might be a foul great decision you got that one right that's for sure, Pitten has fouled there 10 to half time same about that Premier League Cup run when they beat Norwich 3-2, Wolves 5-1 Chilton 4-0 then Norwich again it was a really good run from the Cherries in the group stages and lots of potential in this team for sure but Ryan to bounce back in the way that you did as well was pretty good because it was such a difficult fixture list up until about October time wasn't it you got that win against Burnley and not really looked back since yeah it was similar to last season actually we seem to get a bit of a tough start to the season and even though we've managed to actually put a few good performances together the results weren't really matching it so to be fair I think once we got that win over Burnley can calm everybody down, settle the nerves and the only way was kind of up from there and we've never looked back since which is nice obviously the amazing run we went on just before Christmas was a huge factor where we are in the table now but yeah now where we are in the league it would be nice to go and finish strong and who knows where's we'll end up hopefully we can keep climbing the table a top 10 finisher would be pretty nice yeah it's certainly well within reach isn't it that would be fantastic if the Cherries can achieve that this season as was born back for Bournemouth here to play there for Williams he has it's got Esk there as it comes forward do you ever get much of a chance at the moment to get back to the old Channel Islands or pretty much here until the summer still waiting for my invite you're not all going over together then everyone's been invited they're all haters no summer tour there this time this year not this year maybe next year well it comes now to Williams I think you're on a list when you have top 5 players from the Channel Islands of all time the TCA was on that list I read somewhere it's generous I'll have to get that list out half time to show you officially top 1 for me now stop bro now is a chance for Sheffield United again the 1 on 1 back good play there from Kinsey really cool and calm trying to think the TCA was another got to be top 2 haven't you surely I don't know nice to think of the other players as well tough 2 to beat there I've got time I've got time time's on my side 2 England Internationals no pressure now headed out this time from Teidman Ducosta Gonzalez now on the attack the end it had the potential to start with Cross gets away from 2 of them in the box I've only got 5 to go now before half time Bournemouth next in action when they travel to Birmingham at the end of April 2 own games to come as well against Fleetwood and crew Alexandra Fleetwood Kilkenny at Fleetwood yeah that is a long old trip for them to come down to as well from there so what does that 1 goal is after 7 minutes separating these 2 as it comes off the foot of Osborne probably not going to have that much stoppage it was just that 1 bit of stoppage earlier on for that injury there to Jack Waldron who's okay now and he's going to take the throw this live asset coverage and you'll pair it joining us in the second half in this game now is a chance Teidman's there in support I thought he was going to hit that yeah he did think about it isn't he Clark Lewis Brown goes wide to the right towards 2A Williams back from Tonks we need a goal for you to come and tell them before half time and let's see what happens well cleared no nonsense clearance don't be excited there really well it is and if they can finish it off there with the pass just away from Timon headed on from Tonks and the Cherries will win the throw here's an opportunity though this time a rare misplaced pass that time from Williams not to be that time so Villa will way to come then for the senior team on Sunday they were talking about earlier see if the Cherries can get 3 points there and build on that draw last weekend here's Macedo just going to get away from Waldron all with a play that a fair few grounds this season you see Silver Lake Stadium on a couple of occasions but here with Vitality tonight all this afternoon even with a free kick there will be some positives though Ryan and Alain Connell will look at so far from what he's seen if he can build on in the second half yeah they've certainly grown into the game I think the first 10-15 minutes was definitely going away obviously them getting the goal but we've done well, we've studied the shape and we've had a few chances on the counter attack like we've said so hopefully we get an equaliser before half-time or Al won't be invited back yeah super you get something, you hope it's not a 7-goal fuller in the second half yeah every time we spoke about a play they're giving the bone away yeah we've done that many times over the years I think it's Tinsdale now I bet you're looking forward to well not too far ahead but having a good full pre-season under your bout again Alex as well yeah definitely I think it would be important to have a full pre-season with the lads here I think last summer I came in pretty late and obviously I was injured as well so it was tough to almost gel at first and I had to learn a whole new system a whole new way of playing and those things take time but yeah now to have a full pre-season in the summer it would be good and hopefully that can really push me on to have a positive season Ryan you've got a busy summer ahead as well in the international scene yeah looking forward to actually fingers crossed at the end of the season well and hopefully get to represent Scotland again at another major tournament it'll be a pretty special experience so fingers crossed it'll be an exciting summer yeah I want to remember for you hopefully get out into the knockout stages would be fantastic wouldn't it as well yeah obviously I think that was the aim because that would make us the most successful Scottish team ever so I think that's something we all are desperate to do obviously it's a tough group you don't really get an easy group it's going to be tough to do but looking forward to looking forward to being hungry as well and putting meal-offs to the sword yeah we just had a shot there of Vandone Iola watching from the stands before he does his media duties at half past three this afternoon and that will be that for half time so we've had the nearly two minutes of stoppage time and the cherries go into this one nil down a goal after seven minutes a well taken finish but so far it is just the one goal Bournemouth slowly have grown into the game but in a moment Sheffield United have that bit of advantage we're going to have a look at the Sheffield United goal and look at the couple of Bournemouth charges as well in a second but let's have a look now at the goal that gave Sheffield United the lead and Bournemouth will hope that it's not the only goal of the afternoon so another look at that one it was given away from the goalkeeper McKenna but take nothing away from the finish Alex yeah it's a great finish through the legs gets a bit lucky with the little flick past actually here just bounces up nice for him and yeah very composed finish through the legs it's a lanky S it was really wasn't it looking at that from another angle as well as for Bournemouth they have had a couple of opportunities a couple of good opportunities to try and equalize and it feels like they have started to improve as the half has gone on particularly that sort of period between minutes 20 and 35 here's one for Tideman who's been part of a couple of good chances for Bournemouth and again there we are Ryan that was a good good build up play for Bournemouth yeah good attack good counter attack and you know Michael did well to keep the shot down it's always hard those balls coming back to keep them low so did well found the corner and to be fair to the goal it's a good save and here's another chance for Tideman deflected wide and that he'd say would probably be one of those two good chances they've had today two main ones they've had again good block from the defender there so they stood strong Chef United you know I think for being honest they've probably been the better team in the first half but you know like you said we have had our chances as well and you know hopefully we can get the equalizer and then put them to bed in the second Neil Perret from the media team is going to join us in the second half great to have you both though in the first half and enjoyed your company despite the fact Cherry is a 1-0 down at the moment enjoyed it loved it got a future in this maybe yeah I'll be back soon yeah or get your demo together and send it off there we are second half coverage to come then but a half time here at Vitality Stadium Bournemouth have it all to do but they've shown signs in the first half that they can get themselves back into this game half time it's Bournemouth nil Sheffield United 1 welcome back to Vitality Stadium then so the one goal in it after seven minutes Sheffield United taking the lead and as we said in the first half we had Ryan Christy and Alex Scott for the first half police are saying Neil Perret from the club with us for the second half Neil what about the first half then first Sheffield United it's well taken finished to be fair Bournemouth have had a couple of opportunities you'd say yeah I think 1-0 is probably a fair score line at half time Sheffield United will probably argue that they may have had one or two more goals they had some fairly good chances but like you said we had a couple of chances everything to play for isn't there in the second half yeah there is they can hopefully get back into the game no changes as far as we can see in the second half here at Vitality Stadium and so much at stake as well isn't there here with both of these teams trying to get into the top two yeah Millwall leading the way in the south division at the moment and we're second and Sheffield United our third in the north group they've got two or three games in hand on the teams above and they you would have to say that they are the favourites to finish top of that north group the way things stand at the moment and I think we have about six points behind Millwall so second place is probably what we're looking to achieve after this is three more games so I've heard you say that this could be a dress rehearsal for one of the playoffs semi-finals yeah they could well be so it is the cherry's who are going to get us underway here in the second half looking to make it to three wins in a row as well and here we go then let's see if Bournemouth can get themselves back into this game as it's come back this time from Brown and all the way back towards Cal McKenna the Scottish goalkeeper in the cherry's goal unchanged second half still got five on the bench Howard William Noah Crisp Reece Dottin as well Bailen Johnson and Johnny Stuttle on the substitutes bench and a good afternoon for him tomorrow still with the Wimborn team could win the league tomorrow do? Yes I see Wimborn against Froome that'll be a cracking game at New Cuthbury Johnny's done really really well since he's gone there on the work experience loan just there's an opportunity there from Hampson shop I watched him being interviewed after a game recently as well and I thought his interview was brilliant easy guy to interview he's a really good talker as well so hopefully they'll pull it off tomorrow Wimborn at New Cuthbury Talking of good characters you got some bit of information about McKenna didn't you in goal this week when you sit down chat with him? Yeah I did a program piece with him it was quite funny really because he was saying how he's struggling in the heat down here he says that you know 11 and 12 degrees where he comes from people walking around sort of with their tops off he says obviously from Glasgow he said he's struggling a little bit with a 11 and 12 degree heat searing heat so it'd be like us going over to Mallorca equivalent of that Yeah it's nice for him today because his mum has come down from Glasgow to watch this game and spend the weekend with him so that'll be nice for him Yeah certainly will they can get the three points here today as well as it comes back towards Tinsdale who finds to here here he is again then for Shuffle United big game for both of these teams then today Shuffle United I'm told they've got a few players missing maybe first team call up duty and things like that Timing them with a cross though it's not a bad cross and it nearly resulted in a own goal at the back for Shuffle United it is a corner though for AFC Bournemouth Yeah they've got some strong plays in their team as well haven't they I thought Mercedes number seven looked pretty lively on that right hand side the first half Yeah and it's like you said it's that time of year where lots of players are out on loan they're obviously missing down you know Juerger leading goal score as well he's on loan at Orient at the moment although he does play some games from time to time So corner to be taken then is going to be Brown with the corner headed away to Williams does well show this strength there for such a little guy as well he does well to keep the ball Did I hear Ryan Christie say you can't get the ball off him in training is that right Yeah Yeah even when he's training with the first team nobody can get the ball off him as Tonks has it but for the Cherries it is looking to get back into a game which Shuffle United took control of early on they had that free kick that very arguable free kick which went over on a two or three shots which missed the target Yeah I don't think I would have been happy with the free kick he just seemed to was almost like the end of the Man United game with Ryan Christie and the defender there Yeah They probably sensibly both said no comment when talking about the Manchester United incident last week Now here comes Shuffle United again now Sado with a pass and then Waldrum with the shot goal kick to build up play there from the blades they couldn't extend their lead that time One thing Cal McKenna was telling me that before the last game in the evening they had this forfeit wheel and they spin the wheel and various forfeits come up and Cal spun it and he had breakfast butler so he had to choose one of the other players to serve him breakfast the following day That was a charred style shot comes in Well that's pretty impressive Yeah and he was telling me that he chose to serve him his breakfast He said him and Finn had had a few words during a game so he thought he'd get his own back on him and made him serve up his breakfast There you go you see you never forget there's always a way to get your own back on somebody Now it's a chance for Shuffle United brought forward from the midfield They all colour boots now there was a point I think it was the under 18s isn't it the black boots Certainly always used to be the case I imagine it's probably the same the under 18s they can only start wearing coloured boots when they're in the developments Now here's a chance for Bournemouth it certainly makes it easier from a commentary point of view if they've got different coloured boots It comes back to Brown I suppose it's a sensible thing keeps them grounded I suppose Yeah I mean they're very well they're very well taught off the pitch in the academy I know that they're all very polite always handshakes and good mornings every morning when you see them in and around the car park or the stadium and stuff like that Here's D'Costa Gonzalez Finds Sadi Shuffle United go out towards Louise Marsh Sadi as well who's really impressed last couple of years to D'Costa Gonzalez I had to mention the old Moped incident to Sadi as well in the first half and Alex Scott him having the accident and then his favourite foot becoming left instead of right they couldn't believe it the two of them that was new news to them Keep them off the Moped I would imagine wouldn't it It would Although Ryan Christie said he wouldn't mind having a stronger left foot said he might get on one but it goes back towards Oh no you've got the opening goal with a tidy finish in the penalty area in the first half but that time straight towards McKenna Bournemouth have won a good chunk of games this season so far this campaign they've got just two points behind going into this game and now well played here from the defender but it gives it away though Max Kinsey the skipper he's got three balls on the pitch at one point but goes for the curling shot that time for Louis Marsh and it's never going to find the target just going back to Michael DeCosta it's been a great week for him memorable week from on the bench against Manchester United scored away at Wigan on Monday in the 2-1 win up there as well so a memorable week for him having a great experience for him especially against Manchester United as well as you say two games now over the next few years Sheffield United won back from Tonks Sadie now for Bournemouth good to see the first team manager and his staff watching on as well and Donia Rowler and Tommy Elfic and Sean Cooper down there yeah just beneath us the three of them before his media duties at half past three this afternoon and here's Harris he's had a good game so far he's kind of been everywhere here and everywhere in the first half Archie Harris Andy was a professional South India United late Norway into some bit of a family kind of connection with sport there's a few of them involved in sport Neil yeah and his dad was on the Brain of Britain competition and Carol Vorderman many many moons ago I know Archie's a bright lad as well I did a program piece with him as well well educated maybe you'll join us in the commentary box one day if he's ever unavailable I'm sure he's got some insightful things to say if that's the case he had a good loan spell at Torquay earlier in the season as well and Harris has come back again does well it's a good level at Torquay as well isn't it when you're playing for a former football league club I don't know if they've had their problems this season but National League South yes I had quite a close eye on it this season what with Weymouth and Yoval and Torquay there was a real south-west bias in that league this year so it was quite interesting to follow and Truro where we send quite a few of our loan players as well down there some of the lads been turning out for Truro this season as well Yoval have obviously romped it Mark Malsey's gone in now at Weymouth so it will be interesting to see what happens there next season because he had so much success there people like Jayden Anthony went on loan there he did have a good connection didn't he with so many Bournemouth players in must have been a big key to Weymouth's success with their bat to bat promotions got substitute going on here looks like Bailen Johnson's coming on and Ash Clark he looked as though he was limping towards the end there Ash Clark so Bailen's come on and replaced him so first change for the Cherries Lucky was struggling a bit Bailen Johnson we've seen him make an impact many times is Harris word for the women as well are in action on Sunday against Sal Ziu they beat got into double figures on the first game of the season and now here come Shuffle United Yeah that's at Ringwood Community Hub at 2 o'clock on Sunday we're in free entry and free parking there as well so make an afternoon of that it's always good fun watching the women's team playing win their last three games of the season and they're going to get promoted it's as simple as that it's getting exciting isn't it and whoever doesn't win the league it's going to be cruel on isn't it Bournemouth have dropped four points for season Exeter have dropped just two well it could be that the two teams remain unbeaten and one of them won't go up how about that how often does that happen and I mean I don't know if you know but Exeter lost the title on goal difference last season well to lose out again would be quite something but that will be quite a game meet at the end of the season so Cherries have the throw now which Tonks will take Tonks throws it towards Brown so Sun comes out here at Vitality Stadium we're nearly approaching the hour mark Kama Kenner certainly won't like that Sun out will he he'll need a cap wonny in a second can't see one in the goal forward it comes towards Tonks again goalkeeper under enough bit of pressure there finds the Costa Gonzalez headed on from Kinsey going away from Tinsdale and now might be picked up here from Brown giving away to Macedo got space to run into here, Macedo two options in the box he might try and go it alone really well timed challenge good defending there at the back from Charlie Osbourne yes really come on this season Charlie Osbourne still an under 18 I'm not I'm not entirely certain that he is a recognised left back but he's certainly been playing there a lot for the development squad like I said he's really made some great progress this season yeah Ringwood born player he certainly feels like he's grown into this game as well this afternoon it's 1pm kickoff looked on to Tideman now here's Sadie yeah his dad Ben played lots of non-league football around here scored lots and lots of goals he was on Portsmouth's books as a youngster as well hopefully he can really start to develop his game as well over the next year or two comes back now Johnson comes back to Harris then so an hour gone and it's been one of those where second half has been not a great deal of attacks but we'll see if we can get one here, here's Tonks that's given away couldn't quite find Sadie been very even this half I would say not much in it at all as is so far in the second half Sheffield United had the better of it in the first that will give Bournemouth some hope at least that they've restricted Sheffield United to not very much going forward second half so far yeah I mean one of the benefits of this professional development league is how you get to play the teams in the south and the teams in the north where you're not just restricted so it's now we're at the time of the season we're playing Sheffield United we're playing Wigan, we're playing Birmingham and the fleet would accrue teams like that whereas the middle part of the season was Jamil Walsh and the Queen's Park Rangers it's like Johnny Stuttle might be coming on now so we have been talking about Stuttle early on in the second half he's ready himself to come off the bench any second and then an effort not a bad effort either that time for Fin Tonks but over the bar it goes so Stuttle's going to come on imminently I suppose that's going to help Neil as well those trips up north for the players you know all helps with that step up to the first team with all the travelling that you've got to do I think it's you know added to the education of what it's like to become a professional footballer like you said overnight stays and team meetings and etc etc team meals and stuff like that all those things that you learn about that are commonplace when you're a first team player so Ducosta Gonzalez has come off for Stuttle so a second form of change and it's come after that earlier change as well where Clark came off and Johnson came on I'm sure the Wimbledon manager will be keeping a keen eye on Johnny Stuttle and what about for him as well a great experience if he can win the title at the weekend that would be something else on the back of score and a Hattrick at St James' Park in the FA Youth Cup yeah it would be quite a period for him that's for sure towards Stuttle sure the instruction would have been can you only play him for half an hour at a tomorrow yeah the same could be said of Michael Ducosta gone off after an hour you know we're not sure what the manager's plans are for him he could be in the travelling party to Aston Villa he obviously was on the bench against Man United we know he's been training with the first team as well so it might be that Alan was told an hour and then take him off if he would yeah get the feeling that might be the case exactly how a mark he was taken off no that's what the development squad is all about bringing players through hopefully for the first team you know it isn't about winning development squad leagues and things like that so ultimately it's all about trying to get players into the first team fold which you know the manager at the moment has shown that he's not afraid to bring them in you know training on the bench etc important that though isn't it gives everyone hope that they could be the next one yeah I mean that's an attraction of being here you know the category 2 status now as well which has been a real eye-opener for all of us you know players as well as media staff without you know proper league games every week sometimes two games a week Saedo plays it back now for Shuffle United could go all the way one back from Tonks and then behind Brown the flags up you know it's not just like that it was the Premier League Cup in years gone by they were the only really competitive league fixtures if you like that the development squad had and they had to put lots of friendlies on and but now it's a regular league you know you're going to be having 30 league games and the Premier League Cup and the Hampshire Senior Cup yeah this category 2 games by the time you've done all of those you're looking at about 40 odd aren't you a shot comes in and they might get a rebound they'll be disappointed not to have hit the target the shot originally from Louis Marsh and Louis Marsh looking to try and get Shuffle United in front then Louis Marsh's shot and then Billy Blacker's rebound going over the bar but that's a stunning one handed save from Cal McKenna there it was isn't it good goalkeeping Marsh with the first shot and then Blacker with the second keeping Bournemouth in it Bournemouth are still well in this game they're still just that one goal and it came within the first 10 minutes of this game away from Kinsey now to Johnson Bailey and Johnson looking to get in the game on that left hand side to Williams we've certainly got some goals in this team with Don Sadie and Johnny Stuttle Keane Tiedman's got a few goals this season as well you know there's goals all over the place in this team yeah Tiedman with those 3 and 2 isn't it feels like he's been the two or three good ball of chances he was in amongst it in the first half certainly players can turn things around here and here's the substitute Stuttle he did really well there to hold the ball up and then had to make the foul in the end it's a massive feature of this game and like I said a revert go back to that Wimbledon interview the interviewer said you know it's amazing to see someone at your age roughing up these hardened non-league centre halves and it doesn't take any prisoners he doesn't you know reputations count for nothing when it comes to Johnny just you know plays this game and plays to his strengths he does well there to hold the ball up as well yeah he looks mature doesn't he really physical striker Osbourne to Johnson back from Bailen Johnson I think it's all that fishing that he does down in Plymouth and Portland Bill it's all he does as well on this part of time it's got his own boat probably helps him to take his mind off it for a bit is Sheffield United with Waldron with a pass so the best chance of Sheffield United coming second half when it was a shot which was blocked a couple of minutes ago and then the rebound over the bar after a brilliant save from the goalkeeper and it's Tinsdale Sadie who did well to win the ball made his debut then for the first team Sadie about 18 months ago now just over that takes a wicked deflection game against Norwich for Sadie but it's a corner kick for Sheffield United seems an age ago that game doesn't it it was only 18 months ago there was a few last play that night Brooklyn Genesini I remember him had a hand in the goal one of the goals at the end but the cherry is really come on massively in that 18 months as a team as well really moved up another level yeah I mean all over the you know the progress that the club is making almost like on a daily basis it's incredible to see now it's Sheffield United now with Mercedes free kick for this behind closed doors match tonight half way through the second half some of the footage we've been seeing in the new training ground recently as well is breathtaking to see what's gone on down there I mean I've been lucky enough to have a look around the dome and it's just incredible club's just moving on as you say on and off the field at a real rapid pace at the moment with the training ground as well you know I mean the development squad and the women's team and the under 18s are all using that facility now certain parts of it in the dome the dome is just vast just incredible when you walk in there it sort of takes your breath away I remember playing golf there at Canford make the golf club to see it all now it's just incredible yeah now everything is allowed with the development team and the women's team now with category 2 everything seems to be moving in the right direction when you can establish yourself in the Premier League now a third season to come now and next season in the top flight as Sheffield United went back from Harris marched with the shots and then it fell to One that's another fantastic save did well right goalkeeping it's had a really good second half so far McKenna as Harris is on the floor at the moment let's have another look at that one again did well good instinctive save there for McKenna it just only turned 17 in December and you know when you look at him it's almost like you're dealing with a hard and professional already but it's difficult to grasp that he is only 17 and you know you look at some of the goalkeepers that have come through here people like Mark Travers and Aaron Ramstell and people like that well you know you don't want to put too much pressure on him but if he's going to be in that bracket then we've really found a gem it's easy to forget isn't it especially looking at him from up here you would think he was probably 23-24 let alone just 17 and he can still play for the under 18s as well I mean he's played for the under 18s this season in the youth cup made his debut in the youth cup played some league games for them as well I mean he's worked it out I think he's played in six different competitions this season including the Scottish Championship the Scottish League Cup played for Queens Park in that four competitions down here so certainly getting some great experience finding it a bit hot yeah absolutely these conditions today for sure he wouldn't have certainly liked the sun coming out as you said earlier in the second half he's having his own drinks break now look he is he'll be relieved that this drinks break has come along here in the second half only 20 minutes it's gone quite quickly this second half just get a draw from this match get something from it that'll be quite something yeah I mean like I said I think Millwall are six points clear at the top the teams below it's not like anybody's on a phenomenal winning run by any means winning and losing and drawing games here and there so second place is still totally up for grabs in the last three games yeah QPR just two points behind and the moment has run in third the final game is here at Vitality Stadium the final regulation league game against crew next month so you know I know tickets are already on sale for that game and they're going quite well so that could be a decider as to whether we can make the playoffs yeah that'd be a good game hopefully get a good crowd here as well more and more of these matches at Vitality Stadium it's Kinsey Harris for the pass he's got it again can't bring it under control though up towards Saddy difficult difficult ball for him there so Ducosta Gonzalez and Tideman both on the scoresheet in that 2-1 win against Wigan away from home it's 1pm kickoff it's Essence TV live stream we can bring you today online now is Mercedes on the ball Mercedes went far off in the end at first he thought it would sell well over but dipped down but just not dipped down enough goal kick looked like it just maybe clipped the bar possibly looked it was a nice chip out to him as well just over there good effort nonetheless and he looked lively for minute 1 down that right hand side Mercedes there's Tinsdale trapped back there from Saddy he's got to be careful here but he does win the free kick for a foul there on Tideman good to see some of the first team players watching as well Lewis Cook here and Max Aaron's Adam Smith earlier yeah that's all got to help isn't it for these youngsters as well to know that they are taking an interest in having the manager and the coaching staff watching on I just thought you know if you're a player and you catch the you know you see the managers watching does that add an extra 5 or 10% I don't know it's got to make a difference isn't it with them doing the oiler watching on especially as you mentioned the fact that he's giving opportunities to some of these players and allowing them to train with them a stuttle with a pass back to Kinsey Saddy let's get the feeling there's going to be one or two chances still for the Cherries maybe stuttle you can get them into attacking final third and bring that ball down but now it's out towards Mercedes I mean he's held the ball up well O'Neill for Shelford United today marsh with a pass and a deflected shot from Hampson means Shelford United win another corner here in this development league fixture yeah it's on the knife edge isn't it it's you know then I know it's a cliche but the next goal is going to be absolutely massive it could not the win out of ourselves if they score it and you know if we get it then obviously we're going to be right back in it with a chance to even go on and win and they've come close a few more times recently Shelford United that was an opportunity from Hampson but from Harris timing on the floor so a free kick for the Cherries great to get into those playoffs born with who actually you've been used to winning some silverware the cup double in 2021 and it's Tideman who is on the floor so there's going to be another stoppage here another chance for the goalkeeper come on McKenna to have another drinks break but at 1-0 Neal as you're saying certainly chances for Bournemouth to get back into this game yeah and it looks like Remi Ristotten is warming up over there as well so he's another attacking player that Alan Connell's got an option off the bench whether he's going to give him 5 or 10 minutes at the end here possibly nothing to lose really goal difference unlikely to come into the equation here I think the other the teams nearest have got slightly better goal differences than us so Alan will certainly want to be getting his attacking players out there and going for this equaliser I was just looking back at those saves from come McKenna there they look better than all you watch them that first one was excellent that second one there just tipping it straight to the Sheffey Knight and player who missed his opportunity and to be fair to him it shows good character after what happened on 7 minutes he's dealt with it really well and I'm talking about people in the crowd who are watching got Neil Moss and Gareth Stewart both keeping tabs on in here so they're going to be delighted with those seeing him make those saves here's Kinsey, don't find Stuttle and Tim Snell does win the free kick for Sheffey Knight Ristotten getting some instruction so I'm pretty certain he's going to be coming on very shortly Alan's there with him now talking to him so he'll be on any minute another player with lots of potential yeah it's another under 18 did well in the FA Youth Cup when they beat Newcastle beat West Brom and then lost to Tottenham some great results for Bournemouth this season under 18s and the developments side yeah the group campaign and the development and the Premier League Cup was the best that the clubs ever had so finishing top of the group playing the likes of Wolves Charlton and then losing to Leeds Ding Dong game in the last 16 and they gave a good account ourselves against Leeds, nearly got a late equaliser he had to Costa Gonzalez and Ben Winterburn, thought they'd scored jumping up when it just went just over the bar it was fine margins yeah that was a really good, it was a great competition because once again you know you're playing different teams invariably as well so great experiences Stuttle tries to get there it's Saddy goes shuffling United's way still Bournemouth looking to break the deadlock we're seeing the first half you don't get many nil nils or one nils at this level you often see four or five goals at this level but we might still see some between now and the end of the game so a defender being sacrificed here for an attacker is Charlie Osborne making way and Remy Restotten coming on so off he comes it's going to be Bournemouth's third change Restotten coming on to the field so we've already seen Stuttle come on and Bailin Johnson then with Christopher Goldkeeper, Harold Williams the other substitutes for Bournemouth Saddy is switching wings Restotten coming over on the right Saddy going more forward even central see what that kind of change that kind of impact it will make for Bournemouth 10 minutes to find that equaliser for Bournemouth, a big game this afternoon really keep them writing it in that battle to finish in the top two in the South Division Stuttle does well to get back up on to his feet here's Tideman Tideman won't find Saddy good challenge there on Johnson from Pitten and to be fair to Sheffield United they have defended really well there that was a real old school blood and thunder tackle that one there don't see too many of those now do we no it's a shame you don't that was a proper won the ball crunching challenge here comes Sheffield United though once more with Marsh they've all done their job Sheffield United defensively they've been very sound at the moment holding on to that clean sheet Bournemouth have got 8 minutes to do something about that setting the first half though now it's a big game on Sunday against Aston Villa and Bournemouth are getting closer to that building on that highest ever points tally in the Premier League will be some achievement wouldn't it and I didn't actually see the Aston Villa game last night I only followed up on it this morning and reading what was going on in the penalty shootout never heard anything like it and the goalkeeper getting booked twice and not getting sent off which was remarkable Martin has got booked in the normal game and then got booked in the penalty shootout but the booking from the normal 90 minutes all extra time didn't count which was remarkable I think that's unprecedented I can't remember that ever happening anywhere else before I'm sure it has before but I can remember Stuttle there got two or three players around it yeah I was quite flabbergasted by that but they're certainly on fine form aren't they Aston Villa you know beating you know Arsenal last Sunday and then going through last night in the Europa Conference League as well you know you look at Arsenal on the flip side they lost to Aston Villa and then they get knocked out of the Champions League but what a week in football for you yeah how things can change so very quickly and here is Tourette Williams for the throw so Sheffan and I are getting closer here to the three points but still time for Bournemouth to get back into this game and have been favourable fixtures for Bournemouth recently Sheffan United Luton Burnley but you've got to take full advantage and they would have been looking at Bournemouth potentially as a chance to get points and Bournemouth have come out with a good points tally as a result I just think the 2-2 draw with Man United just speaks volumes about how the club is progressing because you know everybody was disappointed that we drew with the 20 times English champions you know having won 3-0 at Old Trafford earlier this season it was just that set it all for me really could open up here though and it does open up here it's a second goal for Sheffan United and the player has played so well Macedo with his left foot takes full advantage and it looks like it is going to be the blades who come away with all three points and that is a lot more comfortable for them now good build up play good finish to Neal Sheffan United just having a look again like you said very very well he's turned in and found the bottom corner there not many people would have saved that one I don't think so he's played well like you said when he got the ball there that he was going to take advantage it was tucked away really neatly into the bottom corner and now it looks like it is going to be Sheffan United's afternoon that 2-0 lead so a goal in the first half after 7 minutes from a second from Macedo on 85 warm-up now have it all to do to Johnson found there on Sadie you know and top 10 still within reach for the senior team Neal remarkable like you said the record points tally would be one thing and then finishing the top 10 would be another it's just another memorable season like you said so Tideman plays it out Williams gives it away here's Hampson finds Sadie but it will find Marsh who had that chance early on in the second half which was saved in the rebound over the bar from Blacker Sadie got booked there as well he's kept the cards in his pockets the referee but he had a card there the whole season for the senior side which ends in the middle of May but three games to come for the development squad after today three big games and Neal said Fleetwood and crew to come at home, Birmingham away next at the end of April Birmingham at the top of this group north as well at the moment so that's another test to try and come through you can kind of see why Sheffan United are where they are in the table Neal are they? and if it's true that they've lost a few players as well to the first team as well then they must have been pretty strong when those players were available I can imagine so even Easton and San Aston are coming on for Sheffan United as well so they're going to make a double change their first changes of the game the goal score of the second goal is coming off players played really well from the very start that's Misedo Fernando Misedo makes way and so too does Louis Marsh is also going to come off for Sheffan United two players who have made an impact here for this live stream Bournemouth Sheffan United for Sheffan United now it's just all about game management to see this game out but for Bournemouth can they get just that one goal here to get themselves back into it but Sheffan United very much looking now like heading for these big three points out to Tonks Reese Dottin throw Bournemouth I've seen Bournemouth score fives and sixes at times this season as well then if really taking the games to teams at times even against sides they weren't necessarily expected to beat as Harris out to Johnson Tideman back to Tonks heading into stoppage time soon here's Williams Reese Dottin's pass let's cut it out this could be an opportunity though to set up a grandstand finish not quite it fell nicely for Tideman couldn't find a finish low down one hand yeah could play from Faxon but open up for him there it was well laid off to him that would have made injury time quite interesting wouldn't it if that had gone in naturally then the momentum would have been with Bournemouth giving them some belief but as it is two-nil comfortable lead for Shuffle United feel like that might have been a chance Neil just to make something of it there for Bournemouth yeah it was a good save yeah so stoppage time imminent up towards Stuttall and Johnson that's cleared again from Waldron I know now you've got Shuffle United going with that first goal early on in this game I don't think the board goes up this for seeing the first half I'm not sure even there's a fourth official is there there is so we'll have to guess how many minutes we're going to have I can't imagine maybe three or four you think I haven't seen a physio on the pitch or game have we or maybe yeah one we had a couple of drinks breaks that's it two or three substitutions but we haven't seen a lot of stoppages really plenty for Alan Connell to think about after this game what's food for thought there's certainly some positive displays out there Neil I think certainly at the back there Harrison Kinsey have played well to note today yeah I mean I think Alan's you know Alan's team is sort of picking itself at the moment he's got his core of players you know there's some other players who are out on loan like you said earlier Ben Winterburn and Daniela Jua J the Orients so they're gaining experience out on loan but I think at this level it's sort of all about sticking to the principles and that's exactly what they've done today okay they may not have won at the moment but you know they're still playing the way Alan wants them to play and coaches them to play and they're coached all the way through the academy to play like this so you know that's going to be one big positive there's a proper look at that opportunity for Taidman there into the box another angle to see that save from the goalkeeper Faxon did forward to Taidman who's looking for another goal having scored so many this season but Faxon stood up to it stopped Bournemouth of scoring and Halblon at the moment to that Sheffield United clean sheet she looks like it's going to be maintained at this rate it's a third minute stopper Shami go into Neil Perot with me we had Ryan Christie with us in the first half and Alex Scott Ryan Christie talking Neil about how much he's looking forward to the summer with Scotland busy summer for him yeah I mean it's going to be great isn't it I mean all to play for us it's going to be really exciting now Bournemouth might get one more chance before the end of the game from Rhys Dotit Archie Harris might be out to Tonks won't find Taidman might find Johnson Tonks again Rhys Dotit to his right tries to get the cross in and there is the flag is out had a play goal kick manager and his coaching staff still here still watching on and that will be that full time as Sheffield United have one by two goals to Neil one goal on seven minutes another on the first from Onay the second from Mercedes you'd say it deserves Sheffield United win they've come and played really well Bournemouth have had their opportunities but it's Sheffield United who've won this game by two goals to Neil and Bournemouth who've won the majority of matches in the league this season they've drawn three of their matches but they've lost here today at Vitality Stadium and Neil it's one of those where Sheffield United just came here and played very well very disciplined weren't they very defended very very stubbornly restricted how many chances we were going to create took their took two of their chances as well and that's probably why they are favourites to win that north group with a few games in hand and if we can get second place which is I think the target now then I think that we will probably be playing them again Here's the highlights then the goal it was finished there from Onay after it was given away but then Bournemouth coming forward this was in the first half as Tiedman with a pass this is probably Bournemouth's best effort at the first half the Costa Gonzalez will have another look at that from a different angle in the second Yeah we talk about the saves that Count McKenna's made but their goalkeepers made a couple of importance so that's a good straight save there He did and he's done well he's played well and kept Sheffield United with that clean sheet and he's done well to do that but there's a good finish Felt like he deserved a goal the way he's been playing Macedo and a really well taken finish and this was the big chance at the second half as it fouled to Tiedman on the edge of the six yard box just try to place it under the goalkeeper but as you say Neil, two good saves there from Faxen Yeah that was the difference if he doesn't make those two saves we score there's a different complexion on the game but Sheffield United will be leaving very pleased with a solid workman like professional performance so they take the points So a busy weekend for Bournemouth started today you've got Sunday two big games the senior men's side in action going to Aston Villa and the women's they've got three games left in the key pressure on Exeter at home to bottom of the table Salzi that's at Ringwood so those are two big games for the Cherries to come Neil if you can't make it to Aston Villa well you're not going to make it then get yourself down to Ringwood so a great venue like I said it's free to get in and it's free to park there and there's always some good football on offer so I can highly recommend that if you can't get to Villa certainly is well I've been pleased to bring you this stream here today unfortunately for the Cherries it is defeat but they've still got three games left to finish in the top two and move their way into the playoffs to the north division thanks so much for watching here at Vitality Stadium with myself, Ian Wilding and Neil Perret full time here at Vitality if finished Bournemouth and Neil Sheffield United too
