 to this week's preview show BBC Radio Silence. Chris Tenpool is alongside me as we look ahead to tomorrow's big game at Old Trafford. Here's what's coming up. We'll look back at Wednesday night and that's 4-1 defeat to Newcastle and our attention will then turn to tomorrow at three o'clock kind of game against Manchester United. Well we are going to start off with that game on Wednesday night. Chris, some of your thoughts on that one for us? There's just the X-rated version or the polite version. This is the family version, isn't it? It was absolutely dreadful. It really was. It's hard to come on and say that because the one thing I will say and this is the one thing that sometimes can be doubted is that players are trying but there wasn't enough fight and there wasn't enough everything about that. It wasn't enough quality. We know how brittle they are when they can see the first goal. It was a disastrous first goal. Jefferson Lerma doesn't make too many mistakes but that early in the game, it's a terrible start given the build up and how the magnitude of whatever one was talking about that game meant. We have seen the confidence is a little bit fragile and that was the worst possible start. The second one goes in 25 minutes later again. It's all too easy. There's some photos doing the rounds of 10 Bournemouth players in their own penalty area and Sean Longstaff still having a 5-yard radius around him and no one near him. Two very, very poor goals to give away and two-nil down at halftime for the second home game in a row. I couldn't for a second see them coming back. They had five minutes at the start of the second half if we're being generous where you thought, okay, well, something's happened at halftime and they've come out and now with a bit of belief that then there's a few passes pinging around and one or two tackles going in but it honestly only lasted five minutes. A new caster will not have an easier away game. I wouldn't have thought. Martin de Braves-Gurbs, second goalkeeper at a vitality in a row who could have had a deck chair and a cigar had absolutely nothing to do. So yeah, all in all, I think the one thing that urx fans is that it just didn't look like the players were up for the fight in that game. You can give your all 100%, go into every single tackle and sometimes you'll get beaten by a better team but as long as you've left it all out there and you've looked like you've absolutely cared and you've given, you know, your body and your soul if you like for the cause and I'm afraid most of the team didn't look like that was the case. I feel slightly sorry that people have to do interviews, that's part of part and parcel and then they get criticized but don't do your talking on the microphone, do it on the pitch but they have to speak and there's only so much they can say so it is hard for players to come out and try and put it into words but I mean it will be an easier task if they could put it into action on the pitch, that's for sure. And I wanted to mention that that early goal that was very similar to Palace you know going behind early and you know from there it's always an uphill task especially when you need the three points and a point isn't necessarily good enough. Well only two points recovered from losing positions all season which is a terrible record going behind and you know the tag of comeback kings remember that, comeback kings, I mean anytime they're going to resurrect that round about now would be great, it would be great to be obviously not coming from behind and actually getting the first goal but yeah it's this run with the confidence and a low as it is at the moment and feeling like the world's against you all of a sudden then you know unfortunately going two behind you know in the first half on your home soil I personally never thought they were going to come back, I think the game was over there and lots of people said the game was over when it went to one nil but obviously anything can happen in that time. Second half you know David Brooks hit the bar Dom Salanki that one that spins back off the post and Joshua Kings just offside I mean they don't officially count as efforts on target those we were I actually didn't know during the commentary the other day had to look up at the time whether they've been countered as efforts on target but they're not because the goalkeeper wasn't forced into to doing anything so yeah it was still I'm afraid a very very poor shots on target return none and that's a sorry tale at the moment without without Callum Wilson but even with him in the team it hasn't been a whole lot better so it is a case of I know Eddie's message in this press conference on Friday morning it's been we can't look back at the Newcastle game anymore we simply have to do with a quick turnaround move forward and I think they'll be looking to get that out of their system pretty quickly the players obviously had their chat after the game which the manager was trying to sort of play down and say it wasn't really you know a player's teta-teta it was just the fact they wanted to talk it through amongst themselves all the staff left the dressing room as far as I understand and left all the players to it for about half an hour before they all came out and did their post match and hopefully you know a few words were said in terms of you know trying to constructively in terms of trying to find the answers and and trying to find where it's going going wrong at the moment I just think that the leadership thing is a big is a big one at the moment the the leaders on the pitch there's no Simon Francis there's no Andrew Serb and Dan Goldson hasn't really got on the field I mean if he came on and scored but hasn't really got on the field as much as he would have liked so I think the leadership is an issue Eddie Howard knowledges they're a quiet team and obviously that's more noticeable in an empty stadium you hear other teams shouts and you don't hear so much from warmer so I do think that some leaders are going to have to come from somewhere you can't suddenly you know instill you know vocal skills into people that don't really have them on the pitch but some some people have got to stand up some of the senior players who got to stand up and just finally I want to ask you about Lloyd Kelly and on out Dan Jimmer I saw you post on social media you thought they were kind of a pick of a bunch what did you what did you make of them on I mean I'm searching Zoe to be honest with you I'm searching to try to find somebody to pick out and not make it a completely negative set of reflections which is very difficult and I always like to try and identify a player or two I think it's done well and I thought I like Dan Jimmer you know with what he had available to him in terms of the service he got and the time he got on the ball I thought he looked at threat to the fallback a couple of times he you know he's certainly not a Dharma true or real and so maximum or whatever in current form anyway but he does when he gets the ball look like something could happen and just with that better decision with the final ball maybe trying to take on one too many players or or do one too many mark pew cutbacks you know sometimes that's the that's where he falls down but certainly he looks like if you can get in the ball with every game he'll get better because he hasn't played a lot of football so I continue to to think that Dan Jimmer is a threat on the left whether he'll play this game I'm not sure because I have a hunch that Bournemouth will go you know quite defensive in this game and I think there's probably other choices who would be better suited wide on the left than him for that and Lord Kelly I thought you know I feel a bit sorry again for him that he's his full Premier League debut was that game he won't want to remember that I wouldn't think he's obviously played two full games now the loss at Burton and then the 4-1 defeat at home to Newcastle so not a great start results wise for him but I thought he did okay I thought he you know he did fine defensively there'll be some question marks he was up against Sam Maximan for the pretty much the first half he played on the right rather than the left so he certainly had his hands full I thought he got forward pretty well when he could he's obviously comfortable receiving the ball I do like the look of him and I think he'll I think he'll continue to to stay in the team absolutely well next up the cherry's is that trip to Old Trafford tomorrow and anyhow has been previewing that in his pre-match conference got a couple of players we need to check today Jeremy we'll see how they are before we name our squad we've been written off and we've managed to overcome that that that mindset and against the odds we've come through and achieved great things and we're going to have to call on all of those resources now I'm still very much with the team I'm still very much on the positive mindset that we can do it but certainly we're going to have to elevate everything to a new level from what we've seen in the last few games yeah I think they're a very strong team and they're developing from their perspective very nicely they've signed some top quality players and I think their momentum is certainly with them at the moment historically if you look at our journey in the Premier League we've always been able to pick up big results against big teams and ultimately at the end of the season they have made the difference we're going to need to do that again probably at a greater scale than we've ever done before but it is possible and if it's possible we have to believe we can do it so yes we need a good start to the game and there's no doubt about that we need to imprint ourselves and our strengths on the game and we need to defend with the right mindset I'll be urging my players to do that I think we're capable of doing it well that was Eddie Howe speaking in this morning's press conference Chris it's a it's a huge game at Old Trafford and they're in fine form don't they we've seen it a few times and we were teams have clicked into gear all of a sudden just as they play Bournemouth I mean not just into gear they're 15 unbeaten in all competitions Manchester United they've really seem to have got it ticking Bruno Fernandez has obviously come in and made a huge difference having Paul Pogba back fit whatever his future holds and at the moment he seems to be sort of fully invested and committed to the cause Matthew Chelsea in there as well as the third part of that sort of midfield trio so yeah they really seem to have got it moving in the right direction to resurrect their Champions League hopes and you look at the table you know Chelsea getting beaten by West Ham in midweek which is obviously terrible as far as Bournemouth are concerned and I mean that just compounded the night didn't it West Ham scoring that last minute when it was just the worst possible night on Wednesday but yeah United 52 points two behind Chelsea wolves on their heels it looks like a sort of a three or four horse race with Leicester for that to those Champions League spots so yeah certainly from United's point of view they've they've kicked on really after a sticky first half of the season which of course includes a defeat at Bournemouth and I think that's the one positive that we're able to to drag up in this in the build up to this game is that Bournemouth are going for a double over Manchester United and obviously have never won at Old Trafford but and it would look at all order on this occasion but worth pointing out that that United win early in the season came off the back of that sort of horrible little run of poor results including the nil nil at home to Norwich and the nil nil against Watford wherever on everything sort of ground to a halt they stopped conceding goals but they stopped scoring them as well and when you look back at those two points dropped at home to Norwich and that nil nil you know that then those two points are looking pretty big right now I think we probably said at the time let's hope we're not coming back to talk about these two points later in the season and here we are doing exactly that so I think you know Bournemouth's ability to pull a shock result out from you know seemingly nowhere is is definitely there they've done it in the past there's nothing in their recent three games that will tell you they're going to go to Manchester United and have a chance of getting anything the one thing you can say is you while you'd like to say they couldn't be that bad again having been poor against Palace slightly better against Wolves they went backwards against Newcastle the the saving grace I suppose is that the expectation is not on them in this game in terms of the the 11 against 11 is the pressure is on a bit more now than it would be if you were just going to Manchester United generally because of the way they've played in the first three games so it does add that little bit more heat if you get a point that Manchester United that's a brilliant result and then I think Spurs and Leicester are the home games now where obviously Spurs have lost to Sheffield United in middle week Leicester a bit in and out at the moment they seem to have started to struggle a little bit as well so you'd say that both of those games are not you know not would be on the realms of possibility that Bournemouth could get something so I think we reinstall it restoring sorry a bit of confidence or a lot of confidence or some confidence has got to be the key going to United if you get beaten by the better team they are you know on paper they're better footballers and all being equal they'll win the game but if Bournemouth go there and perform well they show the hunger and the desire and the fight that the fans and the manager want to see but still come out on the wrong side of it yes it doesn't help in the table but it probably does help for those remaining five games afterwards so yeah the West Ham result you know middle week taking them to 30 points was a disaster so now it's out of Bournemouth's hands everyone's played the same amount of games and of course Bournemouth slipped a place in the table by conceding those four as well so yep one point to find on Watford gold difference now level with Aston Biller and West Ham you know probably Brighton need one more result they played Norwich on Saturday lunchtime before Bournemouth play Manchester United so Brighton could probably be safe if they win that game West Ham need two more wins I mean Bournemouth need to find three wins from six games at least and you mentioned just there a shock result I want to take you back to March 2017 where Bournemouth not in great form they're going away to Old Trafford and they put a 1-1 draw out of the bag and you know they really need to draw on on the passion they showed there the desire they showed there and and do the same as Aston Biller yeah amazingly I managed to miss that game which was a shame because you know the one-time Bournemouth had got a result at Manchester United it was the time I didn't go but yeah Andrew Sermon got sent off in the after borage things over penalty so yeah it was that's the kind of you know when you go down to 10-minute Old Trafford you would perceive yourself to have no chance but you know to be able to get a result those are the kind of you know the Chelsea away games a prime example there absolutely no chance that Bournemouth on paper before that game at Chelsea back in December going to go there and win no chance absolutely none and yet somehow pulled out a 1-0 win a clean sheet so those are at the moment that they are the crumbs of Bournemouth fans to hang on to is it's happened already this season we can keep trying to build it up and you know instill a bit of hope so far all the hope we've had has been sort of knocked down and flattened but I'm keeping the faith that there is a shock result in there somewhere you know if you have a fiver on Bournemouth this weekend then they do pull off a shock result you will be laughing all the way to the bank let's put it that way and in terms of our team he's obviously we know that we know Callan Wilson he's having a second game of his suspension Geoff's and Landmark will be available having a not pick up the yellow card on Wednesday night and Philip Billing, Geoff and David Bricks they'll they'll both come through come through the first few games on injured as well don't they yeah it is not too keen it wasn't too keen to name names in his press conference just the one or two who were just they were checking on ahead of the turnaround I saw Jose Mourinho this week was saying that the quick turnaround of matches should actually help players fitness at this stage of the season when they're trying to sort of get back into top gear and not many teams you've actually managed to find their top gear so far so yeah Eddie says probably the likes of David Brooks and people know it'd be not as easy just to turn around very quickly they had Friday morning on the training ground that's it between the Newcastle game and the Manchester United game so no real time to to go through anything other than a few set plays and you know a bit of a bit of talk if you like but yeah in terms of the team I think they'll I think they need to go defensive I don't think you can go to Old Trafford and be too open because if they get done three or four and it's the game is over early then that is going to be another sort of blow to the confidence so while the expectation isn't there this weekend at Old Trafford I think the the manner of performance certainly is in terms of there has to be some some fight there has to be some leadership there has to be some showing that you care and it's all the cliche showing that you care for the badge and for the fans and you know I heard Jose Mourinho again I'm reading off Jose Mourinho quotes because last night Tottenham didn't play well against Sheppard United and he was saying if these players have any respect for their job and for their professionalism that's a bit strong in terms of how Bournemouth are approaching things at the moment and sometimes you know bigger ego players at the bigger clubs can be accused of sort of downing tools occasionally maybe unfairly but from Bournemouth's point of view it is a case of showing they care and I think from that point of view I wouldn't be surprised to see a 5-4-1 with sort of Joshua King maybe up on his own I personally would see Junia Stanislaus in the team ahead of Dan Duma from a more defensive point of view with and I'd also definitely bring in Dan Gosling 100% he has to play if you ask me in terms of everything they've been missing which is that drive and then energy and enthusiasm someone who cares spoke well to you guys on AFCB TV after the game on Wednesday even though he'd only come on for the second half and I think I wouldn't be surprised to see Chris Mepham get thrown in as a third centre half so a sort of a cook aka Mepham back three with Smith and Kelly either side Lerner and Gosling central midfield Stanislaus Brooks King I'm not picking the team for Eddie obviously but I haven't heard anything but that's what I would do well plenty of options for Eddie how that now then that's all we've got time for today if you are around on Saturday listen to Chris and will I want AFCB TV they'll be bringing live updates from Old Trafford we'll be back next week to preview our midweek games bats bye for now
