 Welcome to this week's preview show BBC Radio Solence. Chris Temple is back alongside me as we look ahead to tomorrow's game against Newcastle at Vitality Stadium. Here's what's coming up. We look back at last Wednesday's 1-0 defeat at Moura New before our attention turns to that game tomorrow night at Vitality Stadium. Well we're going to start back at last week and that 1-0 defeat to Wolves. Chris, it wasn't quite the result we were hoping for but certainly a much improved performance. Yeah it's the sort of I can see club media accounts tweets right now not the result we were hoping for which is one of my most hated phrases but yes it was better I think most people would agree it was definitely better than Palace which was obviously something that people would rather forget against a very good team and we shouldn't forget that Wolves have you know they proved already in stringing these results together turning around game after game they went to Villa Ramona a tricky looking game as well just a few days later which obviously did ball with a favour as well so yeah I think building blocks of course at this stage of the season you don't get points for building blocks don't stay up if you play a bit better you've got to actually score the goals win the games and actually have some shots which would be great as well. So I think yeah I think I spoke to Lewis Cook after the game and you can actually tell that the player's mood was considerably different than after the Palace game. Yes it sounds stupid because they didn't have a shot and the creativity was obviously not there and that's the biggest frustration I think at the moment but I think the players felt that all in all they'd actually defended Wolves a bit better they'd locked down through already pretty well I thought Adam Smith had an excellent game against him at left back and yeah it's it's it's good you'd prefer it to be better than Palace than worse than Palace of course but the harsh reality is no goals in two games hardly a shot and no points which at the moment down the bottom is the key factor but yeah hopefully if things can keep moving in the upward trajectory we should hopefully maybe see them crack one or two of those barriers against Newcastle and obviously aside from the goal we spoke before for the game about the Jimenez-Treyore partnership they they did contain it very well didn't they particularly in the fairtale. They did but that has to come with a little asterisk because of course those two created the goal that won the game so in a minute you know in a second it takes to win the game it is a cliche. Treyore is so difficult to defend in the exact situation that they caused where he basically brought the ball nearly to a halt and then just exploded out of the blocks like an Olympic sprinter over three or four yards boom he was past the defender the cross came in obviously Steve Cook and Jack Stacey they've all landed between them they'll look at that and think they could have probably defended it better but Jimenez powering onto it you know the striker always has got the advantage there and coming from deep you can see everything in front of him and it was a fantastic header which Aaron Ramsdale didn't really have a chance with so yeah I think they the Treyore's talking back they felt they could have maybe stopped it before it got to Treyore and and dealt better with the free kick but in that that's why Treyore is so is so feared because literally you can click your fingers and boom he's gone and his crossing was just pretty much every cross that he delivered landed absolutely in the area that someone like Raul Jimenez you know any number nine would absolutely love and that's the sort of service I'm sure that Callum Wilson was probably watching from the other end thinking quite a bit lovely to to have some crosses like that to feed off in the near future so yeah everyone knew about the Treyore Jimenez partnership but knowing about it's one thing and actually managing to stop it is another and Bournemouth aren't the first or the last team to to find that struggle it was also the the first time we'd seen Philip Billings since project restart had got underway what did you make of his game well he seemed to pick up that knock obviously in the later in the first half which sort of hampered him and it was a shame he couldn't couldn't continue after that I do think he adds something extra to the to the team he obviously adds a bit of height to help deal with set pieces as well and obviously it was his first game back so I don't think we could expect too much from him in that game bearing in mind he got an injury and only played what 40 47 48 minutes anyway so the good news is he sounds like he's shaking that dead leg off and will be fit for the new castle which is which is big back in there alongside Jefferson Lerma and obviously let's keep our fingers crossed that Jefferson Lerma can get through this last game of the year before the cutoff for the 10 bookings because obviously that was why Jefferson got taken off himself at Wolves in the end you're thinking well you're trying to get back in the game 1-0 you're taking off your most energetic midfielder but actually Eddie was probably sensible in the in the grand scheme of things to make sure that having lost Callum Wilson for this new castle game that he didn't you lose Jefferson Lerma for the same two games that was certainly a blow wasn't it you know Callum Wilson picking up that yellow card I think it was in the first half and with Dasha the king now you know recovering from an injury having Callum Wilson certainly out for the next two games is a huge blow yeah I'm not I'm no I'm no I'm no centre forward but I'm not I'm not sure he needed to get booked there I'm not I think that was a silly booking really I'm not sure the referee necessarily needed to possibly book him but I don't think it's a challenge he needed to make I think he could have put the brakes on again I'm not running at full tilt I don't have the power that Callum Wilson has Patricia the goalkeeper obviously made a meal of it as well but I think that would be the frustrating thing that it was a bit of an unnecessary booking really um how many times have we said that Jefferson Lerma's guilty of unnecessary bookings and I think Callum should have been possibly a little bit more street wise there knowing he was on nine yellows um so yeah disappointing for him he misses you know this game is is massive united away obviously I'm sure everybody loves to go and play at Old Trafford so he'll be um he'll be kicking himself about that and obviously I'm sure kicking himself that having got himself back into into shape and the seasons have got back going that he now has to sit out the best part of a quarter of the matches that were left but you're right it does you know create a situation up front where you know there's going to be some choices for Eddie how to make um which I'm sure will come on to in a moment Dom Solanke Joshua King's fitness is touch and go I hear a lot of people tweeting and talking about Sam Surridge um yeah Sam's a great player that Eddie writes we've seen no little bright glimmers when he's played and come off the bench he's only played 16 minutes of of Premier League football and as we said I think with Lewis Cook in the past every player that is not in the team is always rated a lot higher than you know they would be if they were in the team you if things aren't going well it's always the player that's not playing that will be the answer so I think Sam is you know he's going to be a great player in the future he's already making some great strides it will be a huge gamble to throw him in I'm sure we'll see him on the bench because he's the next the next cab off the rank with him with Kevin Wilson out but uh yeah I can't see Eddie throwing him in and just finally a word on Lloyd Kelly a Premier League debut it has taken a year to come he's been hampered by injuries do you think he's someone that we could see feature a bit more in the next few weeks I hope so I mean he played 10 minutes and it sounds stupid to say I really liked what I saw in 10 minutes but I really did um he got a great long throw as well I hadn't actually seen him in the flesh because his only game obviously was at Burton um and I didn't I wasn't at that game so I hadn't seen him play in the flesh I obviously seen him in training and um you know around about the place and he's a he's a athletic figure but I just really enjoyed the way he got down the left hand side you know even a way at Wolves who are very well organized and late in the game he had confidence in the situation that Bournemouth are in you know you can make a mistake he doesn't seem to have that um sort of effect hanging around his neck um and I just like I liked his sort of energy I like the I liked his uh his left foot as well he played a beautiful ball down the line at one point as well and obviously we've talked before about the balance of that having Adam Smith on the left as a right footer and sometimes how that just leaves you a little bit unstable with the balance and obviously Riko down the left hand side is the more natural left footed option I wouldn't be massively surprised to see Lord Kelly start a game in the next couple of games if he's fit then I think he I think he brings something to the to the team and certainly can do I wonder whether it's been tough on Jack Stacey in the first few games um first couple of games back you know tiring energetic efforts up and down he's been good going forward maybe a little bit more suspect at the other end he's had a tougher time so it's not beyond the realms of possibility we might see Adam Smith go back to to right back and and Lord Kelly coming on the left at some point but it was notable that I thought he went for Kelly on as a Sarva over Riko um at left back late in the game where they're obviously looking to make that change so but good for Lord Kelly to get on the pitch and I guess for him a little bit of a shame that is long awaited Premier League debut came in front of no fans but it's certainly a day that he'll remember well certainly you want to look out for now then next up for the Cherries is a home game against Newcastle and Eddie Howard been previewing that in this morning's press conference yeah so we got Josh King with an ankle injury um he had a scan nothing serious um to report back so he still hasn't trained with us so he's going to be touch and go for the game Philip Billing will be fit after his dead leg we have to act we have to take control of our situation and our destiny and get results it's the only thing we can't rely on other teams we can't look at other fixtures that's all a waste of energy and a waste of time we just have to play the game yeah the whole team we've got an opportunity to deliver in it in the absence of Callum it one person's disappointment is always an opportunity for another player and I so many times throughout history you've seen that um be a change for someone or a team um I feel we've prepared well for this game I think we've hammered home certain points with the players that we want to improve and work on we've done that um as I said we have to be um a lot more creative as a team we have to be full throttle to to impact the game right from the start well that was Eddie Howard speaking in this morning's press conference Chris given other results last weekend and you know games tonight it's a real opportunity isn't it for for Eddie Howard's side to make a statement at the bottom yeah those outside the situation I'll be saying no one wants to stay up no one can get a point between them at the moment and I think that's probably partly the pressure of the situation um partly a bit of rustiness partly the opposition that they've been playing but yeah apart from Brighton who obviously had that that amazing win over Arsenal which is amazing what one result can do and that's what Eddie Howard you know has been I guess reiterating in all of his interviews that he's done pre and post match so far is that just one result away from things turning around and actually of course former fans will be sort of looking through through their fingers at the fixture list of those coming up after this game and that is why people are putting so much emphasis on this home game against Newcastle who've put nothing to play for um as as being absolutely massive because the fixture list Man United Tottenham Leicester Man City even Southampton at home you know um Southampton are a much better team away than they are at home and they're obviously having a bit of a charge at the moment as well so the next four games United Tottenham Leicester City and I think the interesting thing as well is not just to look at those games but to look at who else what the other teams have got in those games coming up as well now Villa have got quite a tough run they've got United they've got Palace and then they go to Everton uh as well uh in fact they've got Liverpool away as well so Villa have got a tough run I think I'm looking at sort of game week 34 which is two weeks on when Bournemouth are in the middle of this United Tottenham Leicester Man City run look at Watford's games Norwich at home Newcastle at home and then West Ham away West Ham have got Burnley Norwich and Watford in the same times that Bournemouth have got Tottenham Leicester and Man City so that is why people are looking at this game to say you've got to try and get yourself ahead of the pack here because this weekend Villa have got sorry Villa have already played of course um West Ham played Chelsea in this round of games Brighton have obviously in a short while played Manchester United on on Tuesday night as well so there's some tough games in this round for other teams this is why Bournemouth absolutely have to take advantage of this game coming up because there will be a bit of this there'll be a bit of teams moving up and down but at the moment everyone's locked together and that is so it's so tight down the bottom that even a draw you know even Watford's point against Leicester at the moment from that last minute equaliser is enough to keep them out of the bottom three um I think Villa Villa look like they're struggling um Dean Smith already started to trot out the sort of fatigue factor and they obviously had to play a bit of a turnaround I think I think the physical demands at this stage of the season with the short turnaround everybody's had uh that will have an impact and the next four games are actually quite a tight turnaround as well obviously because they go to Manchester United on Saturday then it's Tottenham on Thursday Leicester on Sunday and we're still waiting to hear when the City away game will be but it will be in the early part of that middle week because City have got an FA Cup semi-final the weekend after the Cherry's game so it's going to be a quick four game turnaround and again that's why I think it puts even more emphasis on this game so yeah not to build out massively but it's absolutely huge and speaking of Newcastle how impressed have you been with the way that they started back after the break you know they've had had some good results and three against Sheffield United I know they had 10 men but it's it's certainly an impressive result isn't it given that or yeah they could easily have got sucked into it couldn't they they were in that uh that group just above the uh the sort of bottom six if you like and a couple of results for teams below them and a couple of bad results for them and all of a sudden it you know it could have it could have sort of got a bit sticky for them but they've like Southampton have eased themselves away just with that one result really taking four points from their first six obviously they had a tough a tough run around against Manchester City in the FA Cup at the weekend obviously they changed quite a few but there were there were a few players in there you think of the spine of the team the cells uh played that game Isaac Hayden played most of that game as well obviously Joe Linton came on later on Sam Maximam played most of that game as well we didn't see Matt Ritchie of course who had a role to play uh down at the Vitality last day last season but yeah so they will have had a you know a few of those players have got an extra game in their legs they did a lot of running against Manchester City because they didn't see a lot on the ball so that I think will be a factor at this stage of the season um but the other thing about Newcastle much like Wolves is deceptively they've actually got a very good defensive record um they've conceded two goals in their last five Premier League games so you know that is a they've got a solidity there um in the cells and Fernandez at the back you know two big centre halves uh they like to play you know some good football Sam Maximam's an absolute pest um Joe Linton obviously a bit like Dom Selanke really yeah he's got the number nine on his back but it's a struggle for him at the moment to find the goals so yeah um functional side play some decent football obviously like always at Newcastle have off field distractions with the the Saudi takeover that seems to be going on forever which can be used as an excuse as well but the fact they've got themselves safe gives them a bit of you know breathing space and Steve Bruce you know I don't have any how you know it's big respect for Steve Bruce as well so the danger is they have got nothing to play for they can come and play however they like and have a have a go and let's hope they do have a go because that hopefully would help Bournemouth you mentioned how solid they were at the back there but also at the other end of the pitch pitch Richie's been popping up with goals so Maximam he looks absolutely key for them doesn't he as well yeah so Maximam has been a great signing to be fair I remember that game uh up at St. James's Park earlier in the season when Bournemouth took the lead through Harry Wilson and then unfortunately uh saw it turn around but so Maximam rattled the crossbar in that game I think it's still rattling now even we're running through and smashing one off the bar but yeah he looks an absolute live wire and again they're overseas recruitment you know it's been in and out there's been some good signings and some bad signings but you have to say that Sam Maximam would be one of those who who has been a positive um Alan Ron obviously as well and then close to the home Isaac Hayden had a had a had a good season John Joe Shelby I haven't mentioned either he's one of their their top scorers with five goals this season and obviously uh Matt Richie who I know spent most of lockdown you know back down here on the south coast um with his uh with his family down in Hampshire so yeah he's he's a popular figure out there hasn't played a lot this season actually Matt when you look at the good number of games he's played he's he's actually had quite a few injury problems this season as well I'm sure he's a player that uh the Bournemouth fans would love to be able to have back at at the club in the time of need because he's always someone who could with that left foot make something happen but it's time for the the post Matt Richie era it's time for someone like Harry Wilson or maybe David Brooks to to step up now and uh and make sure that somehow Bournemouth can find the performance and the creativity they need to get those technical players back on song they need to be making things happen in the final third and in terms of our team news obviously we've talked a bit about Callum Wilson he's not going to be available Joshua King it remains to be seen whether he's going to play Philip Billing obviously went down with a a slight knock and a dead leg at at Wolves so there's certainly some decisions to be made around the cherry score doesn't know yeah I mean the way he likes to play of course he just plays with the one up and then either the four one four one or they obviously played a different way it's uh the four three three if you like or which becomes a sort of a midfield five away from home so it'll be interesting to see who who he chooses in the number nine role if Joshua King's fit I would play King as the nine um as we I think we discussed last week there's enough creative wide players now to flank him you know you can have Brooks on one side and Harry Wilson on the other or Stanislaus on the other or Dan Juma maybe from the start as well so there's enough wide options that Joshua King could be released if you like from his wide role obviously he's a threat he's a threat wide you know full backs wouldn't want to come up against Joshua King that is for sure but I just think with the struggles that Dom Salanki has had um at this stage of the season a premier league goal would be massive for him of course I feel he struggled when he played as a as a lone number nine um previously in the past he probably can do it as a as a two we often see him playing in the number 10 role um which you know he has to come short to get the ball and therefore a bit like Joshua King it does limit sometimes your goal scoring threat yourself and Joshua King will tell you you know if you look at his goal stats the amount of time he's played as a number 10 um he probably has turned out a good ratio for for goals so yeah if it was my choice and King was fit which we you know he may well be we're not sure yet we haven't heard um then I would play him there I think he liked Wilson as a nuisance for defenders um but whoever whoever it is I'm sure Surridge will be on the bench lots of people call him for Surridge I'm sure we'll see him on the bench this time as well but it needs to click from from elsewhere as well it needs to click from you know Lewis Cook pulling a few strings it needs Brooks to click it needs Harry Wilson to to maybe step up as well so yeah some of those other players um need to need to make it happen absolutely well there's no doubt about it it is an absolutely huge game at Bytelegy Stadium tomorrow night you can log on to AFCB TV and listen to Chris and Willow doing live commentary from the ground that's all we've got time for today make sure you tune in on Friday to catch our preview of Manchester United bye for now
