 Hello and welcome to week four of AFCB TV's preview show. It's been a very busy seven days and we have plenty coming up for you today. We'll be looking back at the games against Everton and MK Dons, as well as previewing this weekend's game against Chelsea. And we'll also be seeing what happened when Dorset Children's Deaf Society visited Vitality Stadium earlier this week. Well, Chris, let's start back at last weekend's game against Everton. Still undefeated. Still going to win the league, as we said this time last week. But yeah, it all happened last week, didn't it? I think everybody saw afterwards it was a great point to come back and get from a situation they probably shouldn't have found themselves in in the first place, being 2-0 down. 10 against 10, lots of drama, lots of debate about the red card decisions as well, which still go on even now. I still can't quite work out whether Adam Smith should have been sent off. I think once Theo Walkout goes to ground, the referee's got a tough decision to make. So yeah, I think as a defender trying to avoid contact, but it still was pretty harsh for me. So we're looking back at a couple of decisions over the last couple of weeks, the West Ham penalty, sending off against Everton, decisions that could have gone the other way. But yeah, as you say, still unbeaten. So the four momentum keeps rolling on, and everyone I think would have taken seven points from the first nine for sure. And of course, Eddie House side, they've now picked up 25 points from losing positions since the start of last season. What is it about the side and comebacks? It's amazing, isn't it? That comeback king's tag was sort of launched last year, if you like, and nothing at the moment to the signal that it's going to be going away anytime soon. I was speaking to Josh King after the game actually last week, and he said that definitely what they did last season helps them in those situations where teams sometimes they go 2-0 down, particularly at home against 10 men, you'd expect them to fold. But actually, Josh King said it actually almost motivates us in a way that we know we can do it. Obviously, they'd like not to be 2-0 down. He did it, also say, by the way, I'd like the fact that we could be ahead in games. That would be lovely. But yeah, so at the minute, I think everybody, when Bournemouth go 2-0 down, depending on the opponents, if you go 2-0 down to Man City, it's a long way back from there. But 2-0 down against anybody else, you've always got a feeling that Bournemouth can come back. And obviously, we're just three games in, and already both centre-backs have scored, so we've got goals coming at both ends of the pitch. They are, which is good to see. Yeah, obviously Josh King getting off the mark as well, at least Moussail, though he's an injury down for this weekend. Again, confidence for all of those players as well. Ryan Fraser obviously just keeps popping up and keeps impressing everybody at the moment. So yeah, the goals are coming from lots of different areas. Nathan Ake, that six-yard box behind us at the north end of the ground is becoming his prowling ground, isn't it? That very important goal against Liverpool, tapped in in there, and then the same against Everton. So we saw him come close with a couple of headers already this season as well. So yeah, he's one who I know is looking to add a few more goals to his game. Well, without further ado, let's take a look at both goals from last weekend in the short highlights. Towson on the right side is a clock chance to put in Walcott here, and Walcott has snuck in beyond that game. Is there any support from him? He doesn't need it. Theo Walcott puts his finger to his lips and silences the vitality stadium. Everton on the counterattack. Walcott down the right-hand side, beat Begavitch, it is near post. And after 10 minutes to the second half, it's the 10-men in front. 100% record under threat here, and then Terry's a switched off, and all of a sudden, Everton had two men spare. Sigurdsson to the back post, with keen powers. At the game, Sermon drags the defender away. Kings floats the ball in towards Wilson. Pushed over, that's a penalty. No doubt whatsoever. Wilson barged in the back, wins the penalty. He missed the last one. It'll be Joshua King who gets the responsibility this time. You're absolutely right, Chris. It was a great call to him. He was going to take it down on his chest. If you've just seen it again, it was definitely barged in the back. Try and reduce for your rears here for the Cherries, which he does into the bottom right-hand corner. Pick from the right way. Joshua King halves the deficit. Big 15 to come, born with one, Everton two. Well, he was for a lift. Excited, plus 10, 15 minutes. He'll be delivered by Iron, in towards the head of Callum Wilson. Well, there we go. Goals from Joshua King and Nathan Ackay entered the Cherries, still remain unbeaten, three games into the season. You can watch the full 90 minutes now on AFCB TV for free. Now, Chris, that wasn't the only game of the week. MK Donnas came here in the cup, and another brilliant performance. Yeah, and it was... I felt a little bit sorry and inverted comments from a lot of the people who would have come for the first time, because it was so comfortable that it almost wasn't an entertainment spectacle. It was for half an hour, as the Cherries got themselves, you know, clear in the game. MK Donnas, you know, they're a developing side under a new manager, their League two. But actually, things worked out as they probably should when a Premier League team plays a League two team in that Bournemouth ran the legs out of them, were just too sharp. And it was great to see, you know, almost a fully changed team bar, by the wee man who haven't played together, will have trained together, you know, a little bit, and will come together so quickly and put in such a fluid performance. So, yeah, job done. Blackburn at home in the next round is, you know, that's another sort of... It's a good draw, but it's another step up in terms of a decent championship side who have got a bit of forward momentum. So, in terms of the competition, yeah, and in terms of getting people game time, it was all in all a very positive Tuesday night. And 1,000 extra people here who had never been to Bournemouth before to see a game. So, again, getting through gives a lot more people a chance to come and see them again. The only player to keep his place was Ryan Fraser. And is he in the form of his life at the moment? You have to say he is. I mean, he was absolutely frightening. I mean, even against Everton, you know, some of the early runs he makes, when he gets the ball at full tilt, you would not want to be a defender defending against that. And, again, just speaking to a couple of the defenders, you know, Steve Cook and other people, about trying to defend against the wee man in training, they say they're just so pleased that when it comes to the crunch, he's on their team. You know, he's in the Scotland squad again. He's got a real chance to forge himself to be a major player for Scotland and really talked about. And, yeah, the minute he's just in absolute blistering form, he's so fit, he looks fit as well. I think he's a real confidence player. I think a lot of the creative players often are, you know, the ability to take people on. We saw it with Jordan Ible last season when he got a bit of confidence. All of a sudden, we started to see the £15 million worth coming back. So, who'd want to put a price on the wee man at the minute? I mean, he is key. The fact Eddie House said after the game that Ryan Fraser asked to play in that game, almost to, you know, get himself, keep that momentum rolling forward. He got himself a goal off his left foot as well, which is becoming an increasing weapon for him and being able to use both feet very strongly. So, yeah, he is, he's boxed himself into being one of those first names on the sheet at the moment, which, with Junior Stanislaus still to come back, of course, as well, and the likes of Jordan Ible knocking on the door. There's a lot of competition out wide, but he, at the moment, is, I would say, the number one. And, of course, debuts for Diego Rico and Jefferson Lerma, what did you make of their performances? I thought Lerma was really good. I mean, again, let's put the context. It was the league two opposition. It was a great game for him to come into together, you know, having had an under-20 runs run out. First chance in front of a full house here, his own fans get used to the surroundings, you know, communication. I don't know what communications like in midfield when you don't speak English, but it didn't seem to be a problem out there. You know, he looked so comfortable on the ball. He put himself about. He was energetic up and down. Eddie House says he's Premier League ready in terms of his fitness and his sharpness. It's just a question now of whether Eddie is loyal to the players that have started the season so well or whether the £25 million price tag, you know, it says he needs to go in, really. So, yeah, I thought he was outstanding. I think everybody was pretty impressed. Rico, you know, I would say he was good, but maybe not as eye-catching. Maybe it's more difficult to be as eye-catching. What I would say is his fitness looked good. He was up and down the whole time. Most of his crosses landed in the right area as well. They didn't always hit a red shirt, but most of them you didn't see him blow many over the top. None went behind. None hit the first man. Most of them, albeit by a one or two, possibly landed in an area that the likes of Callum Wilson, Joshua King would thrive off. So, and obviously that set piece, I think the crossbar is still rocking now from that set piece that he crashed against the bar. So, yeah, I would say an outstanding debut from Lerma and an excellent debut from Rico. And of course, last night we discovered it was blackburn at home next. Really good to be at home in the next round, isn't it? Yeah, I think that's first and foremost what everybody would like. Chance to get a bit more money through the gate as well. Of course, Eddie Howe has a bit of history against blackburn. It was 14 years ago that he scored that winning penalty up at blackburn, the same stage of the competition actually, but the roles were reversed then because blackburn were the higher division team and Bournemouth were the lower league opposition who no one fancied. So, I can remember that night so clearly. A DVD was made just of that night, the 3-3 draw after extra time. And Eddie Howe, I think he was penalty number seven or eight. He said he was hoping it wouldn't get to him, but he walked up and drilled it down the middle. So, a famous night then. Hopefully not quite as famous in terms of an upset this time around. But again, as I said earlier, it'll be a next level test from MK Dons, but another one that the Cherries should come through because there were a lot harder draws in that hat than blackburn at home. Absolutely. Well, before we move on, let's take a look at all the goals from the midweek game against MK Dons. Bowls it out down the centre to Defoe. He's got options to his right. He sees Moussé. Moussé takes it down well. Gains his balance. He's across the halfway line. I obsess, but he's trying to get up with him. Goes into the feet of Fraser once more. Fraser head down back to Moussé. Inside the penalty here, poor first touch. Not a bad second one. And not a bad third one. Lease Moussé. Puts the Cherries in front. It looked like he'd lost it. And then suddenly he went past the defender. He rolled it through the legs of Lee Nichols. And that came all the way from the goalkeeper Boric via Fraser. And Moussé opens his account for the season. And Cherries lead against MK Dons. Jordan Ive now all of a sudden laid off by Lerma. And it's Ive who's chasing away on the right-hand side. Ive into the penalty area. Park by Moussé. Lerma back to Ive. Still in the penalty area. Chips one in. He'll break for Fraser. And that is 2-0. Easily done. Jordan Ive this time deserves the credit for the assist. Had a couple of stabs at getting into the penalty area. And it sat up sweetly for the Scotsman, Ryan Fraser. His king. Halfway over the half. Into the penalty area, I should say. Now Ive. But Ive shoots low. And there is the third. It's been coming for a long, long time. And in stoppage time at the end of the game, it's Jordan Ive who provides it. A left-footed shot. Arrowing to the bottom left corner. And the Cherries are sailing into the third round of the league cup. Three up on Dons. Well, there we go. A convincing 3-0 win for the Cherries mid-week. You can see extended highlights of the game on AFCB TV for free. Now then, whilst everyone was enjoying their bank holiday Monday, the Cherries squad came in and had their team photo taken. AFCB TV went behind the scenes and you can take a look at what went on. Indeed. Also this week, the Dorset Deaf Children's Society visited Vitality Stadium and were given a tour of the ground. Let's take a look at what went on. So we've got Dorset Deaf Children's Society here today and what have they been doing? Yeah, we've welcomed to the stadium this afternoon. First of all, we've taken them behind the scenes, taken them into the changing room, brought them pitch side, get to see all the bits they don't normally see when they come to the stadium. So that's been great. And of course, they want to play their own game as well. So we're going out onto the training pitches now and we're going to put a little coaching session on for them. It's what we pride ourselves on here at AFCB. If we want to bring people into the stadium, we know we're slightly restricted on the number of people that can actually see a game. So if we can open our doors throughout the week and in the evenings and weekends, bring people in, let them all feel close to this football club. Dorset Deaf Children's Society came in today. They had a quick tour around the stadium and then they all just sat down just over to my right. And we just had a bit of a questionnaire kind of thing speaking about my career and what the club means to me really. I supported Bournemouth, I came to all the games. So I think it's great that the club can give back to the community and give these kids kind of the opportunities that maybe some other clubs wouldn't. Obviously for me, when I first joined, it was kind of a, it wasn't really too serious. It was like a community type academy kind of thing back then. So to see where I've come from, I think it shows to anyone that they can also do it. So I think it's great. Yeah, it's really important. You know, we've got this partnership with BT and the Premier League where we're able to operate and offer disability sessions throughout the week and we've seen our numbers increase rapidly throughout the season and we hope again the following season, this season coming, that they will rise again. We're really about giving players the opportunity to feel safe in a nice, comfortable environment and develop their football. And we've got a number of the players that are with us today that have gone on and achieved great things through our FA talent hub as well. Well, a busy week off the pitch. We end it by a trip to Stanford Bridge and Chris. It's produced some good results in the past, hasn't it? It certainly has. I mean, if there can be a lucky ground in the Premier League, obviously, Bournemouth had a couple of great results there. The question now is where do you go from last year? You know, the best result in the club's history, one of the best performances we've ever seen. It's hard to know where to come now. In terms of expectations, we'll be massive. Of course, it's a new Chelsea team. We shouldn't forget that. And obviously Maurizio Sarri is someone Eddie Howe knows very well indeed. He actually went out to Italy when he was an employee to study him. He was aware of him even back then. This was three years ago, I think. Napoli obviously came here to the Vitality Stadium for a pre-season friendly last year. So again, Cherry's fans are probably a few of them will be, oh, yeah, that was Sarri. So putting that all together, all by all accounts, he's a very impressive guy. His team played great football. So a new challenge. And actually, interestingly, it's the fourth successive new manager that Bournemouth have faced this season because they had Pellegrini at West Ham. They had Marco Silva of Everton. Paul Tisdale in mid-week of MK Dons. And now Sarri at Chelsea. So they're certainly getting the new manager test at the moment. I think the thing for Bournemouth is, is it a free shot these days? That's the question. Are these big games away from home still a free roll of the dice? Because the expectation is that really on paper and on the squad talent, Chelsea should beat Bournemouth all the time. But having gone there in one a couple of times, all of a sudden now, there has to be a bit more belief that that is a more important game than possibly, it would have been. We say, well, it doesn't matter if you lose 3-0. They can be crucial points come the end of the season. So what I will say is last season, all three games, don't forget the league cup game out there where Dan Gosling equalised in the last minute and then Chelsea went straight to the other end and scored, was a tight affair. Bournemouth won there in the league. Chelsea only won here 1-0 in the league in what was a reasonably tight game as well. So Chelsea are one of the big teams that Bournemouth have managed to get close to on occasions. In terms of what to expect this weekend, Chelsea unbeaten obviously they've won their first three. So they have started in ominous form. A few big-money signings, you know, Georginho who they bought from Napoli in the centre of midfield who, by all accounts, is a very metronomic midfielder, adds a bit of stability to the centre of the park. 70-odd million on a goalkeeper, Reza Balaga as well. So there's a lot of money for a goalkeeper for sure. The likes of Kovacic, he hasn't played so much yet as well. So some big-money signings to bed in there. But by all accounts, they're much happier in looking on paper, a much better count they were last year. So it will be a tough arse to go there and repeat last year's performance and result. But, as I say, sometimes they'll freak one off results, but Bournemouth have won there twice. So, hey, who knows what about this weekend? And you mentioned Georginho there. He seems to have really settled in well at Chelsea and he has already gotten the score sheet for them. Yeah, obviously, when you're a foreign manager coming into an English club, or sometimes you do dip back into what you know, we see it quite often with foreign managers going back to their old clubs to bring players in who they think will be suited to the Premier League. Georginho is the one in central midfield who he's brought from Napoli. I haven't seen him yet, but we'll see him this weekend. But only the clips we've seen on match of the day is that he does seem to have fitted in pretty well in the centre of that midfield, which is ominous. So whoever gets the nod for Bournemouth this weekend, whether it is Lerner, whether he does get the nod, or whether it's Sermon and Gosling carrying on, yeah, they're going to be with Conte in there as well. It's a tough old test, but it always is against these big guns. And in terms of the Cherry's team use, of course, Adam Smith is back. How much of a plus is that for Eddie Howe? Yeah, I mean, you say he's back. He wouldn't have played in midweek, I don't think, if he wasn't suspended, but the fact he's available, he's another one who's had a good start to the season. He'll be frustrated, obviously, by that sending off here last weekend. In terms of where Eddie goes, I mean, we've managed to call it quite successfully the last couple of weeks. I would say this week is probably the most unknown whether Lerner gets a go or not. Again, as we stand here recording this, I think he probably won't put him in for that. I don't mind to click this up and send it back to me on Twitter to say you were wrong, because we have no idea. Eddie Howe is loyal to players that have done well. He did say in his press conference and to me earlier on that Rico and Lerner, he does consider them to be Premier League sharp and ready to go physically in terms of the tactics, they're up to speed. So they're getting close. Rico, I would say, is more 50-50 whether he comes in. I think Charlie Daniels has had a little bit of a niggle. So whether Rico comes in, I would say, is more on balance. But I just don't think he'll throw Lerner in at Chelsea away, but I could be completely wrong and probably will be. And the Cherries are taking almost 3,000 fans up to Chelsea. That'll be a really real plus for the side, won't it? Yeah, and it's great for anyone who came on Tuesday night because there were still tickets available and by getting a point for coming to this game, it meant they could have a chance to go to Chelsea away, which hopefully it being the holidays and not too far away. I know Premier League tickets aren't cheap, but yeah, hopefully a few more there will get to experience another great day. And the fans, again, I remember the days when we'd probably taken 150 to Macclesfield or something. So 3,000 fans away from home is absolutely brilliant. They all huddled around the corner flag, of course. And that end of the ground at Chelsea, where the Cherries fans are, is where most of the drama has been with the Glen Murray goal and most of the goals last season as well. So yeah, hopefully it's some more drama to come there this weekend. Well, certainly a lot to look forward to this weekend. If you're going up to Chelsea, have a very safe journey, but that's all we've got time for here today. Have a good weekend and thanks for joining us.
