 Hello and welcome to another preview show here at Vitality Stadium. Matchday commentator Chris Temple joins me and will be going through everything that's gone on here in the last week. Let's take a look at what's coming up. We'll be looking back at the defeat at the King Power Stadium last weekend. We'll be discussing the new training ground which looks to be moving closer. And finally we'll be looking ahead to tomorrow's game against Burnley here at Vitality Stadium. Well we're going to start back at last weekend and that 2-0 defeat at the King Power Stadium. Chris it was a very disappointing afternoon wasn't it? I think that sums it up perfectly. The away fans who didn't get much of their money I'm afraid. First and foremost I thought Leicester were really good. I thought they played really well. You can see they're full of confidence at the moment. Brendan Rodgers has obviously revitalised them. I know Wolves and Watford both won in midweek but at that time if you were back in a team to finish seventh I would say it would probably be Leicester with the bit of momentum they seem to have built up although they have got a bit of a tough run in. But yeah, as much as Leicester were at it in the opposite direction Bournemouth just weren't. Yes, there were a couple of key players who were clearly fatigued by international travels. I know Jefferson Lorimer had been to Asia. Joshua King had played two hard games for Norway and you can see they weren't quite at it. Obviously the squad going to Dubai adds an extra talking point into it but I don't think you can make anything of that. Only four of the starting eleven actually went to Dubai so I think that was a bit of a red herring. But certainly the international, not just the travelling but the games and the mental exertion and everything else certainly looked to have taken its toll. Leicester of course had international as well. I don't think to quite the same extent that Bournemouth did in terms of going away. I just think that everything was flat wasn't it? It just didn't happen on the day. Of course Cullen Wolves had a great chance early on which if that goes in cliché a different game. But at no point in the second half did I really believe that Bournemouth were going to get back in the game even while it was 1-0. They did well to keep it 1-0 for a long time because you know, Azmi Begavitch and Goll wasn't being peppered by Leicester shots but they had most of the possession. The threat on the counter attack from Bournemouth just wasn't there so yeah all in all it was a really disappointing day. You mentioned that Cullen Wolves had a chance in the first half it was only 1-0 at that stage and obviously as you say if it goes in then you never know what could happen from there. I mean Cullen has got to score that really doesn't he? You to stand here already how to stand here or the fans to say that he should score that. You know centre of the goal what was it? Maybe not even six yards out. It's on his left foot that's the only mitigating circumstance I can find really but anywhere else except where he put it and it goes in. Just thought it looked a little bit sort of casual the effort I don't know if it was a sort of he was trying to cushion it or something or whether he expected to score. I'm sure all strikers given that ball from Ryan Fraser and it was a great ball from Ryan Fraser. We shouldn't overlook that but yeah he has to score that and you'd expect your international striker and your joint top scorer to put that away. So yes not but it's not Callum Wilson's fault that the rest of the team you know were equally below par on the day unfortunately and we saw a change in in goal as well as my back at Begavitch back in the team. There was no indication before the game at all that that was going to be the case was there. I think that was the probably the biggest talking point of the day really and just did not see that coming. You know as me Begavitch had what I think it was 22 games and then Eddie Howe decided to make a change and Arthur Borich played the last nine and I've got to say it hasn't done a lot wrong. I was very surprised to see that change made. Of course we don't see what goes on on the training ground. Eddie Howe said he has he has two number one goalkeepers and therefore they're sort of if you like 50 50 and if one performs well in training or one you know not so good in a game. But I mean there was one or two minor question marks about Arthur Borich for the free kick against Newcastle here. But I mean we're nitpicking because every goalkeeper you know throughout the season will will have moments like that where you could just pull their performance apart. But I think Arthur Borich was particularly harshly treated to be honest with you. And you know as me Begavitch probably won't want to watch the second goal at Leicester back where he came and didn't quite get there. But you know it was it was a big talking point and we've spoken before about how interesting the goalkeeping situation will be this summer. And I think that adds a bit more intrigue to it as to the reasons why that change was made sort of back in the opposite direction because as me Begavitch was looking like you thinking well woolly want to sit here and be number two next season if Arthur Borich is the man in possession lots of time between now and then. But yeah no it adds further intrigue to what might happen over the summer goalkeeper wise. And talking of individuals we saw Junior Stanislaw come back onto the pitch last week that's a that's a positive sign that if anything that we can take from the game. Yeah really good to see Junior back well documented problems in the past with injury at this stage of the season I think any player who's injured is racing to get back. There's only six games left now. So you know you think of the likes of Adam Smith and Steve Cook will talk about later on. But for Junior to get a little run of games going into the summer it's not just the fact that getting on the pitch it's it's what gives them going into the summer as well because then they can continue to work hard over the summer but have a little bit of a breather and it just I guess it just sort of fuels the fire for for coming back stronger and making sure they're in a good place by the time we get to August. Absolutely well earlier this week plans were revealed for work on a new training ground to begin imminently. Let's take a look at what Eddie Howe had to say on the matter in this morning's press conference. Morning Eddie. Morning. The club announced exciting new plans to continue with their development of the new training ground this week. How exciting is that for you as a manager to see that the owner was such a vision for the future. Yeah brilliant news. I think it's given everyone at the football club a huge lift. Something we've been talking about internally for a long time. That desperate need to continue to keep moving the club forward to keep that feeling of progression internally externally so important. And yeah, the owner Maxime and the board of directors have done really well in seeing that forward thinking because the training ground for me is the bedrock of every football club. It's where the work happens. It's where everything you do day to day to try and get results comes together. So the main thing for me for making a difference to the football club will be to the academy status and to try and put ourselves in a better position to produce our own players. Well that was Eddie Howe speaking in his press conference this morning. Chris that's some really encouraging news isn't it for everyone at the club? Yeah and the training ground of the stadium both the two separate entities of course but they do impact each other as well. You know they've been in the pipeline for a while and it's a lot of clubs have planned a lot of things that haven't happened. And of course here there has been one or two full stones in the past. So I think of course one does impact the other because the club trained just alongside where we are now here at the stadium which is on the land that would be used for a new stadium. So therefore until the training ground gets moved any sort of plans and development for the new stadium can't happen. So one does knock into the other. But yeah really important you know you just had the manager say it you know for the future in terms of bringing players through having everything under one roof you know they do train at leisure centers and you know Canford and all sorts of other places around the borough to you know to try and bring everything together and to have the facilities that other clubs are able to offer players. Because when you're signing 14, 15, 16 year olds as well often you know facilities things like that the things they can see in front of them as well as you know the potential of the club will be a big factor. So you know I just think of Southampton as an example down the road if you showed a young promising player Southampton's facilities and then Bournemouth's facilities as they stand now it's a no brainer they would go to Southampton taking everything else out of the equation. So yeah really important from that point of view and I just think overall it just gives the club you know mentally everybody at the club just it just elevates the status and the profile as well when you've got facilities that let's face it match the teams that you're playing you know in the league. Yes Bournemouth have got everything here that they need really but on a very small scale the first team they don't really want for anything they've got everything they could possibly want there but you know maybe just a lack of a bit of luxury but it's by no means a shed and you know a windy park pitch that a lot of lower league teams have been playing on the Bournemouth have had to deal with in the past when they trained over at Canfford School. And one thing that Eddie Howe was big on in this press conference this morning was the ambition of the club and that's really shown isn't it with this development? Yeah absolutely you know Eddie Howe said to me that he person he hasn't had a whole lot of impact in terms of the design and things as to what they want but he said that Jason Tindall has sort of on behalf of the the playing side of things had quite a bit of input into to what they would like to see there so yeah it's really good I guess you know then people start to talk about the stadium once the training ground at least the land's been bought for the training ground so that's a that's a positive start that is that is a sign of intent they've purchased the land so it's going to happen and now you know the plans are being tweaked they'll be resubmitted because the council's just had a bit of a reconfiguration as well so they've got the brand new Bournemouth Paul and Christchurch council or Bournemouth Christchurch and Paul whichever way round it is so now that hopefully that will go in and the wheels can start turning and you mentioned the academy as well it's something that can can really help elevate the academy from a category three status to something either a category one or category two yeah and playing better teams of course is the key we've seen Bournemouth you know against Manchester City here in the youth cup this season we've seen the under 21s playing very well against the likes of Liverpool as well so the fact they need to be playing these teams every single week is obvious for the development so by elevating themselves up to category two and then category one hopefully eventually they can get themselves hopefully into the mix into the you know the premier league academies league rather than playing in the you know the various regional leagues they're in at the moment so again that could only improve players it's one thing training alongside premier league players every day but competing against better players every week is is going to only be helpful and of course we've seen the the academy playing in the FA youth cup but for really how to have everything under one roof he can have first team training there he can have under 21s training there and for him he can you know get a better understanding of the the younger age groups and look at it that way as well and also you know you often hear about you know stories of you know the first team have a separate like roped off area there's a door that academy players can't go through you know it does add that little bit of sort of I guess here's what you could have if you keep working hard and I guess it's like not winning the lottery but you know it's it's the the one place that people will aspire to they'll see Calamels and they'll see Joshua King and Ryan Fraser David Brooks you know players who've making a mark this season you know that they can watch them on the training ground so I think it's really important and also for younger you know going right down to you know 9s 10s 11s 12 year olds they get to train at the same place the first team get to train at rather than you know halfway across town and again that's hugely exciting for them and I think that you know it all buys into the fact that everyone wants to be part of the Bournemouth story and for new signings as well when you're trying to get a player to come to the club you can go to the training ground training this amazing complex and you know it can it can be a decisive factor it can be I mean I don't think anybody would come to this training ground at the moment and not sign because of what the training grounds are like because as I say they do have everything they want the pitchers are in great condition and the only thing is it's it's plonked in the middle of a public park so you know you've got the black screens up and everything which is a bit unsightly but um yeah of course if you've got a spectacular facility that's brand new and shiny um you know just look at Spurs new stadium this week and everyone's been raving about that and what a new facility you can do to invigorate a club and an area um so yeah no for signings as well it can make a big difference um but yeah it's they're not by no means scrimping and saving on what they've got at the moment here but uh it's definitely it's definitely a big priority getting this training ground sorted absolutely exciting times indeed well next up for the cherries is the visit of Burnley here at Vitality Stadium let's remind ourselves of one of our more memorable performances against Burnley there's a chance to deliver across it comes in towards the oh it's deflected in Chriswood's going to take it it was Westwood with the initial shot and it diverted off Chriswood who didn't know much about it completely wrong with you Bigovitch and Burnley have taken the lead and some entertainment at last here at Turfmore albeit not in the net you want to no and again you know Burnley have taken the lead and I'll go and keep my son safe to me because he was nowhere near that one it's the way he flexed it just went completely away from him and he's on the floor bow territory still a chance kings on side left side of the penalty shoot for goal and Joshua King equalizes for Bournemouth what a goal that was it puts him clear as the cherries top scorer with nine for the season and Joshua King pulls Bournemouth back on terms here at Turfmore one one well it took the remainder for him to come on and hit the goalkeeper with it you would have fancied him to score with his from the on his first touch but he got his foot we got it away but one gallant to Kingi let one player go flying high and just curled it into the top corner excellent stuff Charleston would it here squeezing to Kelly Wilson what a moment for Helen Wilson it's stop it's time at the end of the season his long wait for a goal is over and he's going to send Bournemouth back to the south coast with a sunny smile on their face Callum Wilson his teammates mob him delight for him and for Eddie Howe his 100th league winners of manager Bournemouth take a two one lead absolutely fantastic by Callum I've never seen so many people give up at once and they're going out and staying and I know it's it's it's a late goal and it's a real sickness but no leaving well of all the people that could have fallen to in the 95th minute of the season ending finale that did you mean you know how old selfish was he he certainly defended well goals from Joshua King and Callum Wilson there Chris they'll be hoping for more of of that performance as opposed to the one that we saw rough at Turfmore earlier this season went there you can say that again yeah I mean the one earlier in the season it wasn't great the two of the goals came in the last seven minutes so the four nil was a bit of a false gloss but just looking back at that game last season I mean for Callum Wilson particularly having waited quite a long time for a goal having come back from injury to Nick one in before the end of the season was great for Eddie to get one over Sean Dyche at his old club as well will have been nice I'm sure too so yeah that was a real positive way to go into the summer last season nice day at Burnley as well and the fans had it all had a good day out on a nice I guess a nice memory to take into the summer for them Burnley have been pretty sticky opponents actually for Bournemouth in the they're probably they're actually the last non big six team to win here which was way back in I think it was November 2017 so they are you know we know the way that they play they've got their their big physical strikers their Chris Woods their Ashley Barnes Sam Vokes of course from from here in yesteryear so they play a certain way but for them it's been a bit of a disastrous season off the back of a brilliant one last year and they come into this game of course it's not been the best season but a two-nil win against Wolves will really you know give them a lot of confidence yeah I mean how many times have we heard that anyone could beat anyone I mean Burnley beating Wolves you know Burnley had lost four in a row I think Wolves have been absolutely flying recently you know that seemed to get it to get it together in the in the chase for seventh and then Burnley turned them over so yeah you really can't quite predict what's going to happen but yeah Burnley they've just been I don't know quite having not seen enough of them but maybe the squad isn't big enough to cope with let's not forget they've been playing since what the 25th of July or something like that where they played Aberdeed and the Europa League qualifiers so it's been a long old campaign I think they're 16 points worse off at this stage than they were last season when they were chasing Europe there are only five points above the bottom three as it stands at the moment now they've got a bit of a buffer to Cardiff but they play Cardiff next week so that is a huge game and after that I think they've got Tottenham maybe Arsenal Chelsea they've got a tough run in Burnley so they're going to be looking at this game as well as the opportunity to put a bit of clear water between themselves and Cardiff in that one remaining relegation place and if they you know if they've got a result here and then beat Cardiff next week that would pretty much be them safe so it's a huge motivation for them but from the Bournemouth point of view you know Eddie Howe is we've gone to them this week about that couple of percent they've dropped moving into that sort of end of season drift that we've seen a few times before Eddie Howe said you know in the first Premier League season they'd put absolutely everything into the first 30 games and did run out of steam a little bit he actually said this morning that rather than accelerating over the line every season they've been dribbling over the line which I think is something that fans are starting to get a bit frustrated with why all of a sudden the does the team switch off if you like you know consciously or subconsciously probably the latter but yeah so with the running they've got you know the one thing that's getting interesting for me all of a sudden now is the the possibility of finishing below Southampton which you know Bournemouth have been the the top South Coast club for a couple of seasons now Southampton had a dreadful first half of the season Bournemouth had a very good one but if you compare the two now the two clubs are in moving in opposite directions Southampton five points behind with a game in hand and a game at Southampton to play between the two sides and that all of a sudden has got Bournemouth fans looking over their shoulder and of course for Bournemouth being back at home how much of a boost can that be we all know about the away form this season but being back in front of the home fans that's something they can look forward to yeah and it's a proud record against the non big six teams I mentioned of course the Newcastle last minute goal into that net just there from Matt Ritchie you know again sent everybody away from me slightly bitter after the the last game it's been some tough visitors here but as we say the long run against the non big six teams has been impressive here unbeat it in in quite a long time best part of 18 months so yeah and I think the I think the fans are owed a performance those that went to Leicester last week are certainly owed a performance this weekend and you know don't forget they're not at 40 points yet as well I mean they're not going to go down but at the same time just get to 40 points and 7th has gone now I mean it's a shame last weekend 7th we were stood here saying 7th is an outside possibility if everything went really well 7th's not going to happen now the one frustration is that Bournemouth have lost their place in that in that neck the best of the rest group if you like they're now four points off that little pocket of teams between 7th and 11th and they're sort of drifting back into the Crystal Palace Newcastle sort of group here and sort of in no man's land really so yeah those who say that safety is the first priority will be pleased but I think it's a bit disappointing to having having been in the chase for 7th all season to then not even be in that little cluster so a couple of results would be nice just to get things back moving Burnley this week and then of course Brighton away next week who of course are banging trouble still themselves so they've got two teams who are going to be scrapping and fighting for absolutely everything coming up and of course the 46 point mark that's something that's that's still realistic isn't it you know getting the the most points they ever have done from a Premier League season nine out of 21 was what was needed for last week it's now nine out of 18 available which is still very doable of course that's three wins out of six games and the fixtures again you'd say are you know quite favourable in terms of that but the points are starting to run out so if if I think they need to get something this weekend probably a win this weekend if they are to keep realistic hopes of getting to that 47 which as you say would be the previous best of 46 and again that would be a shame because that's been that's been on for a long time and to to Peter out and full short of that again would be would be a disappointing way to finish and really when you should be finishing you know probably eighth ninth tenth on the reality of the first half of the season it still could be possible to finish 14th 15th which I don't think would reflect what a great first half of the season the team had and just in terms of tomorrow we've obviously got had Adam Smith out injured for for a good while now he's touched and going for tomorrow and we've also had Junior Stanislaw and Dan Gosling back last week as well so things are looking a little bit more positive on the injury front than they have been yep great to have Adam Smith back in contention the other one I'll throw in there not for this week but for potentially for next week is Steve Cook who I mean he was pretty much told his season was over and he you know he that anyone was expecting really to see him again this season he looks like he could be back this month I mean he'll be very keen for Brighton away next week his old club that'll be for sure whether he's quite fit enough to to make that game it might be full him here over Easter instead but that's a huge boost as well for him as I said earlier on about players trying to get back when the games are running out so that's a remarkable when he's it's an amazing story really that he you know ended up in hospital from just going up for a header and picking up a groin injury you know if you haven't heard the Steve Cook story you got a hospital infection and you know it got quite serious for him at one point so yeah it would be absolutely amazing for him to be back on the pitch before the end of the season given what he was going through about a month ago absolutely positive signs indeed well that's all we've got time for today if you are coming to Vitality Stadium tomorrow we hope that you enjoy the game but if not make sure you keep an eye across all of our social media for the latest updates thanks for joining us
