 Felly, a chymaeth eich ysgol, aesib TV Y Llywodraeth, I'm here with Matchday Broadcaster Mark McAddon, and we've got plenty coming up for you today. On today's show, we'll be looking back at last weekend's 4-0 defeat at Telfmore, we'll also be reviewing the midweek game against Blackburn Rovers, and finally, we'll be looking ahead to Monday night's game against Crystal Palace. But before all of that, let's rewind the clock a week and take a look at what Eddie Howell had to say after last week's 4-0 defeat at Telfmore. So 4-0 defeat today, but I probably didn't tell the whole story of the game, what was your sort of version of events today? Yeah, it was a strange game, you know, when you look at it, we've had some good ball today, we've threatened to create great chances. I don't think we possibly executed the final pass well at all today, we're in a really good position or we made a bad decision to shoot when we should pass. I don't think they've had too many chances at goal, the stats might tell me different, but that's my gut feel now. And it could have been very different if we got that third goal in the game. Yes, we were 2-0 down and chasing it, but that third goal was all-important and we didn't get it and they did. And at the end of each half, a key three minutes at the first half, a key five minutes in the second half, how important were those sort of moments in the game? Huge, because obviously goals decide games. I think the first half we were okay, we were well in the game. It was becoming a little bit too bitty for our liking towards the end of that first half, but coming in at nil would have been fine. But then we shot ourselves in the foot, really, we conceded a poor goal and then didn't react well to that goal and conceded the second. Whenever you go away from home and you're 2-0 down, it's a tough ass to come back. And for the 40 minutes before, both of those two sloppy spells, if you like, born with probably the better side? Well, in terms of possession, yes, but that doesn't mean you're the better team. It's what you do with that possession and we were okay, as I say, to their penalty area. And then it's sort of that final ball fell apart and that's where we were in the second half, a number of really good moments to make some build-up play, but just not the clinical side of our game that you saw last week. Last week you said clinical ruthless as well last week and didn't quite have that today. Didn't have that and neither a penalty area, which is a head scratcher for me because one week we go from not creating a huge amount of chances and taking them to, in my mind, creating a number of great moments, but then not executing it as we wanted to. So that's what football does for you. One week you get one thing, the next week you get the other. The important thing for us is that we remain very consistent in our preparation and look to come back next week. One of the positives, Junio Stanislaw's introduced from the bench 60 minutes midweek and some moments today. How's he looking? Yeah, now Junio's fine. I think he came on and did really well, showed us a technical quality and a composure on the ball that we needed at that stage in the game, so I was pleased with him. And Dan Gosling didn't make their starting 11 today. How's he announced the rest of the squad today? Yeah, Gosling should be okay. He's got a slight calf problem. We don't think it's a serious injury. And a game on Tuesday night, Blackburn and the Cowbell Cup. Does this change your ulty of thinking at all ahead of that one? We'll let the game get out of our system and then focus and reflect on, or reflect on today and then focus on Blackburn and try and make the right call. Well, that was Eddie Howell speaking after last week's four-nil defeat at Burnley. Well, Mark, as he said, it didn't all go to plan, but the scoreline didn't quite reflect the performance. No, I think they were a bit unlucky. The performance was much better than the scoreline suggested, as you say there. I think it's important as well that those kind of games bring everyone back down to worth because it has been an incredibly good start to the season. Everyone was getting excited, obviously being in the top six and all that sort of stuff. And people start to get a bit carried away, but that's what the Premier League is. It can really bite you on the bum if you're not absolutely on your game. So I think it's one of those things. You draw a line under it. We've responded in the right way against Blackburn. We progressed through in the EFL Cup. So it's important now to focus on the next match and forget about that and look at the bigger picture. It's still been a great start to the season. And at two-nil down, we know what the side are like at coming back. It wouldn't have been a surprise if they had done as they had against Everton. No, that's one of the great things about Bournemouth this season and you've seen it on so many occasions. Whenever they go down, sometimes that's when they play at their best. And even at three-nil down, four-nil down, you could have still seen them sneak in it and get a couple of goals and really make it difficult for Burnley. On this occasion, it wasn't to be, but one of the characteristics of this team this season has been making great comebacks. And throughout the course of 2018, we've seen it. So I think it's one of the key things that Eddie has embedded within this squad that never say die attitude and that willingness to always perform to the very final whistle. And a word on David Brooks as well. He was at the heart of everything that we did last weekend. He settled in well, hasn't he? It's been incredible. You know, you look at David Brooks this time last year. He was a championship player. He's taken to the Premier League and AFC Bournemouth like a Duck to Water. It's been superb. And at 21 years old, he's got so much more ahead of him. And that's the most exciting thing about him as a player. He can only get better. He started the first two games. He started the last two Premier League matches. You see his influence in the game. He's got so much technical ability and the ability to spot passes. And someone like David working with a manager like Eddie, he can only get better. So it's an exciting one. And I'm looking forward to seeing how much he develops as well. And of course, wingers at this club. We've got Junior Stanislaus Ryan Fraser and David Brooks. It's not an easy job for Eddie. He's trying to pick the team. No, that's the great thing about our wing player and our wide men. We've got so many exciting players that all bring so much to the table. Obviously having Junior back now as well is key because he has so much technical ability and experience. And obviously has the ability to get goals. You look at the way We Man has started. Ryan Fraser has been superb. He's taken his game to the next level this season. And then you've got players like Mark Pugh as well who's been scoring goals for reserve games and setting goals up as well. He had a great game in the Hampshire Senior Cup. You see Jordan Ibe as well who's got so much ability. So it's a really exciting time for us because we've got so many good wingers. But unfortunately, the gaffer can only pick two at a time and have a couple on the bench, which makes it a good thing because that level of involvement from all these players and obviously it now is raising the bar. This is what you need to be. To be in our team as a winger, you need to have these levels. And that's what's great about it is that everyone is now pushing everyone else. So the quality and standard is just going up. Well, of course that game at Turfmore wasn't the only game of the week. The cherry's bounce back on Tuesday night. Again, it's Blackburn Ravers in the Carabao Cup. Let's take a look at the short highlights. Now Simon Grant is trying to provide some assistance to Ibe on the right-hand side of Ibe's box in, which he does now. Grant is getting forward to get the cross in. Pulls it back in towards Stannislas! That crowns the comeback to perfection for Junior Stannislas. Six and a half months out. He looked to the heavens. We heard him talk about his faith before kickoff. It kept him going through the dark times and Junior Stannislas under the lights. Light up the Vitality Stadium 1-0. Jordan Ibe, left side now. Looking to get to the violin away from his man. He's done well, Jordan Ibe. He's gone down. He's won a penalty. Wel, we're a long way away from it. It didn't seem to me to do a huge amount of contact as Jordan Ibe got a little nudge up against the goalkeeper, Ryan. Ibe, no worries. Bottom right corner. Sent the keeper the wrong way. Justified his, I guess, a choice to take it. And he has put the cherries two up. Oh, it's been lost by Lerma to Conway. And now there's a chance. Armstrong three. Conway shoots Blackburn back in the game. Lerma lost it. Conway converted it. Form of two, Blackburn one. 27 minutes to play. If Brereton can make something of this down the right hand side. Rothwell goes on outside in. Paid in central field now for Conway. One more, it goes to Armstrong. Borat speaks it away. Rothwell miscues back into the centre. Comes from Butterworth, the substitute. Blocked away. Brereton in the six shot box. Great tackle by Mingz. Oh no, he's given a penalty. Wins has taken the ball and pretty short. Can Borat stand strong here for the cherries. Keep their lead. It's hit off the post. It's 2-2. And job just about done for Adam Armstrong. And Callum Wilson is going to go through one on one. So Williams just picked the ball up. He just picked it up. Otis will still have time to put it back in. Wilson in there. Over the goalkeeper off the bar. Back to pass the goal. Keep in mind, even they've got a touch on that one, I think, as Wilson's header came back off the bar. Corner left-hand side in front of the north stand, 2-2. In it comes, ahead they're up. Well, there we go. A last-minute winner from Callum Wilson saw the cherries progress. You can see all post match reaction on afcb.co.uk for free. Well, Mark, we didn't make it easy for themselves, did they? No, those cup games are always tough matches. And I think you see it increasingly now across the EFL. Any single team that comes to a big Premier League side, they believe they can win. They believe they can get a result. And they have that never say die attitude where they just keep going and they make it difficult. And if you switch off for just a few moments in the modern game, you're going to get punished. And that's exactly what happened. Obviously a couple of mistakes there. And before you know it, Blackburner level, the great thing about it is, and we've already said it so many times, that Bournemouth do not give up until the very final whistle. And obviously Callum Wilson has had a great start to the season. At right place, right time, clinical header. And there's no better feeling, particularly here at the Vitality. I've seen it a few times over the years. Those last-minute goals where you pick up all three points or progress through in the cup, they mean so much. And it gives everyone a real lift and a huge game and now progression in that competition. And I think it's one of those situations where we could be a surprise package. You've seen Liverpool knocked out. You've seen Manchester United knocked out. The draw starting to open up, maybe it could be our year. And one of the big talking points from Tuesday night was of course, junior Stanislas. He got himself back on the score sheet and that would be really good for his confidence, won't it? Yeah, junior is one of those lads. He's so popular in the dressing room. He brings so much to the pitch. He was out for what, six or seven months. So it's a long period of time to be out of the game. And I remember when I did an interview with him after he played in the Hampshire Senior Cup, I said, are you now looking at the Blackburn game? Is that now your focus? He said, no, no, no, Mark. There's a game between now and then that's Burnley. I'm looking at the next game. I'm fit, I'm ready. And Eddie won't like me saying this, but I want to play. And he's so ambitious and he's so enthusiastic and he wants to be involved. And to have him back fit, firing, scoring and looking as sharp as ever, it is superb for this football club. And of course we talked about junior Stanislas, but is there anyone else that states a claim for a starting position? I think there are so many players that did well in that match and there are so many players within the squad. I think the quality of our squad this year, Eddie Howard said it on a number of occasions, is better than it's ever been. I think there are so many good players that are on the bench and on the fringes of the 18 that are dying to be a part of it and have so much to give. I think it's going to be so difficult for the gaffer to pick a team for Monday night football and Crystal Palace because there are so many players that are doing well and looking good. So I don't envy him at all in that respect. And of course the draws on Saturday night, is there anyone the side will be hoping to avoid or come up against? I think the key thing with cup draws is you play at home. I think that's always a big thing. You don't want to be travelling all the way up north, although as a Premier League club it's not quite the same as sitting on a bus for six or seven hours. Obviously they get a flight these days. But anyone at home, ideally you'd like a lower league club. But as you've seen, Blackburn weren't easy to beat. So there's no guarantees. I think the most important thing is you play well. The players that aren't in the Premier League squad stake a claim and try and prove to the manager that they should be involved in the Premier League. And that way you get a better level of performance. So I'm excited about it. I think again this competition we've always seen to do well in quarterfinals, semi-finals we've always been there or thereabouts to progress and do well. And hopefully this can be our season. Well, over the weekend the Cherries will turn their attention to Monday night's fixture against Crystal Palace. Let's take a look at what happened last time the two teams played. Milovoyevic is there. He's going to take it. Whitefoot is big of it's close to his left but can't get there. And as he did earlier in the season, the Serbian Luka Milovoyevic has scored against Bournemouth. Daniel's into the feet of Joshua King once more. Mousset, rather. Plays it out towards the left-hand side. At the right side, I should say. Francis swings in. Poe tries to steal in. Topkins rises to clear though as far as Fraser. Pulls it back to Mousset! And he leads Mousset! The Fritzman's done it before and finds the north stand net again. Less than a couple of minutes after being introduced. 25 minutes to play. The Cherries from behind level at 1-1. Now swung down the right by Milovoyevic. Onside Townsend, no plaque. Townsend's got no one with him at the moment. Wait for support. Zahar comes into the penalty area now. Faced by Lewis Cook. Gosling helps out. Gosling then falls to the ground. Zahar with a little bit of skill. Then shoots left-footed and that will silence the Bournemouth fan. 90 seconds to play. We're heading towards the magic 89th minute barrier. In it comes. The heads are up and they're back! Cherries claims something from seemingly nothing. Well, there we go. A 2-2 draw here at Vitality Stadium. Saw the points shared last time that Cherries played Crystal Palace. Mark, last season we had 2-2-2 draws. Do you see it playing out the same again this time? I think it will be tough. I think Crystal Palace are aside with some incredible players and I've obviously notably Wilfred Zahar. I watched him two or three times in pre-season this year. I've seen him in the Premier League and he is such a game changer. He has so much ability. He's got so much place. I think the one thing about Wilfred Zahar you need to remember is Sir Alex Ferguson signed him. And Sir Alex Ferguson didn't sign many bad players throughout his time as manager of Manchester United. So for Sir Alex to sign him gives you an indication of the quality and you've seen it on so many occasions. He's recently signed a new contract with Palace so he's going to be there for some time. He seems to be getting better and better and you've seen the statistics when Wilfred Zahar doesn't play. Crystal Palace don't play very well and they don't pick up points. So the big part of the game is going to be stopping him. I think at home we've got that expansive free-flowing football. We'll be going forward. I fancy Jermaine Defoe to get a goal. You see the two goals he got up at Palace last season. Two quality goals. Particularly that second one was particularly special. It would be nice to see him involved and have an impact on the game. I think it will be a high-scoring affair. I think both teams like to get forward, you know. So it's going to be good in that respect. I think it's going to be a cracker and I'm looking forward to it, yeah. And you mentioned Jermaine Defoe that Eddie Howe just talked in his pre-match press conference about his influence off the pitch as well as on it. Yeah, I think that's one of the great things about Jermaine Defoe and it was the same when he came to Bournemouth as a young 18-year-old on loan from West Ham. Everyone spoke so highly about him as a player. He had the right things. He did the right things. He was a great addition around the dressing room and he had such a willingness and desire to perform and to better himself. He'd always stayed behind in training and this is going back to 2000-2001. So this is a long time ago before sports science was heavily involved in the game and before players were conscious as much as they are now about what they eat. Jermaine Defoe was doing that 20 years ago and that's why he's still playing at the age of years well into his 30s and still having the impact he has. And it's quite interesting to hear Eddie Howe talking in his press conference about the influence he has, the things he says in the dressing room and on the bench and obviously to the younger players, the younger strikers at the squad that he's putting an arm around and pointing them in the right direction as to what to do and how to do it. I think that's fantastic to hear and that gives you an indication as to the type of character he is. He might not be involved week in, week out playing 90 minutes like he would like to but he's still having an impact on the game and he's having an influence to the other players. And all that experience he's got, England matches, Premier League matches, all those goals he's scored still proving to be a vital part of this club and that's great to hear. And something else Eddie Howe talked about in his press conference was that there are a few injury concerns to the weekend, Dan Gosling and Charlie Daniels and even Diego Rico. Yeah, it's a shame for Dan Gosling. Obviously someone up until a certain point had played every second of every Premier League match so far this season so for him to get a little niggle would have been frustrating particularly when he looks at the competition for places across the middle of the park. You know, Jefferson Lermer's come to the club, Lewis Cuckoo. He was on the verge of going to Russia and being a part of England. Obviously finding it tough to get match action at the moment. So yeah, it's a shame for Dan but I think he's coming along nicely. Obviously Chaz again, another little niggle with him but I don't think it will be too far before he's backing contention as well. And obviously one or two little other niggles as well. It's just proving to be that time of the year where everyone's now played sort of six, seven, eight, nine games. They've had a full pre-season. They're getting back up to a full match sharpness and action as well. So there's going to be these little niggles but the great thing is here at Bourmouth is we have so many players in reserve that can come and step in. They all understand the philosophy, the way we like to play. So one or two injuries hopefully shouldn't affect us too much. And being back here at Vitality Stadium in the Premier League, home form has been so good this season, unbeaten in five in all competitions. That will be really good confidence as well, won't it? Yeah, absolutely. I think every single match here at the Vitality is key. There's something special about games here. You know, we know it's a small stadium. We know that we don't always have the biggest crowds across the footballing pyramid. But one thing's for sure, when the Bourmouth fans getting full voice on a Tuesday night or a Monday night as this one is, under the floodlights, it's superb. And I can remember some really special matches out on that pitch behind us under floodlights. And that's what's exciting about this game. You know, you've got the Monday night football. You've got the feel of the live TV cameras here. You've got a buzz around the stadium, particularly off the back of the way we started as well. I can't wait for it. It's going to be a cracking game and I'm super excited. Well, that's all we've got time for today. We hope you'll have a lovely weekend and we'll see you here on Monday night against Crystal Palace.
