 our second preview show of the week where BBC Radio Sonets Chris Temple is back alongside me. We'll be looking ahead to Sunday's game against Leicester but we've also got plenty coming up. We'll start back at yesterday and that Nill Nill draws the Spurs before we then turn our attention up to Sunday and that game at Vitality Stadium. Well let's rewind the clock to 24 hours and go back to yesterday's game at Vitality Stadium. Chris it was a Nill Nill draws the Spurs and certainly a much improved performance yet again. Pleased to talk about wasn't there? Goodness me. Yeah I mean let's start right at the end all the drama where it could have gone one way or the other right at the end. I mean Harry Wilson's chance obviously the one that people will look at because the VAR interventions of the the Callum Wilson goal was obviously correct. Harry Wilson coming on as a sub taking that chance it could have been so different right at the end and of course you know the Callum Wilson goal in inverted commas as anyone who's probably watched the AFCB TV highlights will have gathered I mean as a commentator you have to commentate on what's happening in front of you at the time and I called that as a last-minute winner because we had no angle at all to see there was a handball in real time but of course as soon as you see that the replay your heart sinks and everything sinks and Willow I think was ready just to throw his microphone on the floor after that because as soon as you saw it back you realize that that goal wasn't gonna stand so yeah those are the small breaks of course when we look back earlier in the game Tottenham should have had a penalty at the Premier League say anyway I mean it's still it's not clear cut but I think you know if you if that was the other way around you'd be you'd be asking for a penalty there and Joshua King felt he was slightly impeded and sort of fell into Harry Kane but the Premier League obviously have come out and said there was a multitude of VAR mistakes on Thursday night so maybe that little break went born this way but overall I think yeah again we spoke about the performance is getting incrementally better and the Manchester United performance was better again and last night was the best performance of restart by a long way all of the fight and desire and heart and press and energy and everything that was has been missing sort of sporadically over the last few weeks was there and Tottenham good side but not firing on all cylinders at the moment of course some high-quality players they had to throw on son half-time which you know tells you what they thought of how the game was going so I thought it was yeah an excellent performance just short of that final product and plenty of attacking intent intent there as you say but the other end a clean sheet as well and and a very solid performance from the back for yeah I saw a stat tweeted last night after the game that's the first time in 186 games in the Premier League for Bournemouth they've ever restricted a team to no shots on target so you know when you consider the attack in progress that Spurs had on the pitch there and you know throwing on their 60-odd million-pound man and Don Ballet and Harry Kane obviously played the 490 and was largely shackled having to come very deep to get the ball so you know what a what a credit sir again Lord Kelly we talk about Lord Kelly and Nathan Ackay the center half pairing and to be fair the whole defensive unit I thought Diego Rico got some very important blocks in Jack Stacey obviously came on and was thrown into the fire a little bit because Spurs were having a good spell at that time after that horrible situation with Adam Smith as well so yeah defensively I thought you know Lord Kelly looks like he's played 50-100 games I think the expectation levels are already starting to rise with his performances so far we slotted in so well and Nathan Ackay as we mentioned another day has seamlessly slipped over to the right-hand side on his on his non-natural side if you like for a center half he's gradually worked his way from left back when he was at Watford to left center back and now he's at right center back so he's it'll end up at right back at some point soon I'm sure but yeah all in all to keep a clean sheet against against that team and Farron Ramsdale as well we should mention him he didn't actually have anything to do really there's a worrying moment when he started to clutch his hamstring late in the game but hopefully he's okay but yeah I mean he think of having let in nine in the last two games and sort of faced a multitude of shots and didn't have anything to do which is just how you like it so all in all for the defensive unit and the team and it was it was a massive clean sheet and hopefully a big psychological boost and someone I want to mention as well is Dan Gottling he came into the team's first arts and project restart what did you make of him thought it was excellent I thought his energy was you know infectious he just gets around the pitches everywhere and it was a real big physical effort last night as well and we'll come on to that a bit later in terms of the turnaround to the Leicester game but I thought yeah it was a huge a huge shift from from Dan Gottling we've been talking about I've talked for the last couple of preview shows excuse me that it would be you know he's got all the characteristics you'd want in that team when they're the down on the dumps a little bit someone to lift it lift the energy lift everything show a bit of fight I thought he did all of that last night he hasn't been fit Eddie actually said this morning that he's missed up probably three weeks of training which is probably more than we realised so I think they wanted to get him into the team realised that last night was the one I hope he can sort of turn around and go again against Leicester because they certainly do need him I thought Callum Wilson you know showed the sort of shift again that the guy who's been frustrated to sit out the last two games and freshened up if you like or sharpened up whichever one you want to call it I thought he put a real shift in Joshua King had had a better game in terms of the home performances we've seen in there was still took him a little while to get into it but I thought he he showed some you know some good moments as well to be fair you could probably pick out most people and say that they contributed again the only one that's still just finding it tough is David Brooks who you know one one or two fleeting moments but again had to come off didn't manage to last the 90 minutes but it does appear that was only cramped so again hopefully he's getting stronger but he does seem to be sort of hitting the wall if you like at the same stage of every game at the moment but yeah to answer your question I thought Gosling was was super as you as you just said we've got a quick turn around ahead of the game against Leicester on Sunday such a strong performance last night that that can really help carry the momentum in such a quick number of days until the next game yeah it's a hard balancing out now between recovery and preparation for the the next game up with they won't do too much physical work if any I wouldn't expect between now and that Leicester game because they're all back in today they've been training Friday and then obviously Saturday they they'll probably do some set plays or something I'm not sure exactly what the schedule is but yeah it's a case of rest of recovery as much as they can and mentally because there's a lot of mental concentration went into that performance last night as well because again you give Harry Kane an inch you give some of these players an inch they will take it so yeah I think physically it's gonna be a big ass to go again so quickly but hopefully they are recovering and as you say Callum hasn't played for a couple of weeks or you know a week or so so he's um hopefully fresh the likes of Dan Gosling are the ones who haven't played many minutes so you just hope they can be fit to go again. Jefferson Lermer I haven't mentioned but again he was popping up everywhere as a bit of a nuisance yesterday as well so the only one we know that won't be available will be Adam Smith after that pretty horrible looking clash. Absolutely well that game against Leicester is one we're going to preview next and Eddie Howe has been talking about it in this morning to pretty much press conference. So who have we got? We've got Adam Smith will miss the Leicester game for sure with with the injury that you suffered last night and we've got a few bumps and bruises from the game obviously David Brooks came off we think that was just cramp but we'll wait and see today to find out more. Steve Cooks had a hamstring problem that's still not 100% even though he was on the bench yesterday the physical effort the heart endeavour showed the the quality we showed at times as well so I think there was that that will give the players a huge lift no doubt. Yes we want another good performance but we want to turn those you know that that building of momentum into into goals and obviously into wins. I was really really you know proud of the players pleased with the players a lot's been chopped at us a lot of questions have been asked and the only way only place you can respond I keep saying it but is on the pitch and I thought we did in the right way so you have to believe that you're good enough to keep clean sheets we haven't kept enough of them this season I think that was a huge step in the right direction as you say it wasn't just the way sorry that the fact we did it is the way we did it we limited some of the best attacking players in the country to to minimal goal mouth action so I think that's going to bring my message again to the players that we're going to need to function as we did well against Tottenham we're going to need to back that up with another performance. Well that was Eddie how previewing the game against Leicester on Sunday Chris they seem to be building and building with each game and more minutes in their system could this finally be the one where they get the three points. I think it needs to be I think a lot depends on what happens on Saturday as to what pressure is put on the Leicester game to be honest with you because the games going on elsewhere all three of the cherries direct relegation rivals have got winnable games coming up on Saturday before Bournemouth play Villa play on Sunday but in terms of the other teams on Saturday West Ham go to Norwich Watford are at home to Newcastle on Saturday lunchtime and then Aston Villa play Palace so all of those three teams all at home so apart from West Ham go the tour at home so you'd be looking at you know probably a couple of those might win which is going to put the heat on the Leicester game if none of them get win then you'd say okay a draw against Leicester and just keep you know trimming that gap or keep the gap at three then it obviously keeps it still alive but suddenly if those teams win and the gap goes to six and then Bournemouth don't win against Leicester or get a draw then that gap five points with three games remaining I'm sorry that's looking that's looking a long way off so I think what happens on Saturday really does dictate what needs to happen on Sunday but we did say probably need to win at least one of these games and get probably four points from the six they've got one of those those points so I think three against Leicester you know it's going to be very important given that it's Manchester City next and you wouldn't be putting too much money on Bournemouth going there and getting too much so yeah there's a bit of pressure on the game but I suppose you know that pressure is offset by Bournemouth actually having performed now as well because the pressure has come before from not only what was needed from the games but also the fact that Bournemouth hadn't performed at all so you're putting pressure on yourself through your poor performances as well as the external pressure and needing to get points if you like in the table so I think it sent a bit of a message to the other teams last night as well to say Hang on Bournemouth aren't out of this they have got some fight left and those the games against you know Wolves was okay in in chunks Manchester United was quite good in chunks lost 5-2 and then Spurs was sort of the most complete performance of all so those performances are going in the right direction all against the bigger teams of course they played so poorly against the teams in the games that they would be expected to win so I'm hoping that that sort of that expectation where people would say well Leicester are chasing the Champions League so Bournemouth you know effectively are second favourites in this game which they will be that lightens the load a little bit so yeah it's an interesting weekend and probably the most important weekend for looking at other results I think as well because it would be lovely bit like West Ham slipping up at home to Burnley you know on paper you'd have that down as a West Ham wind with them having beaten Chelsea at home so it would be lovely if the form book could be all the the bookies odds if you like could be turned on its head with a couple of those other games on Saturday and in terms of Leicester again very similar to Spurs their results they've had a mixed bad since the restart what have you made of them what you've seen of them yeah I mean the first of all they've had a brilliant season to be right in the Champions League shake-up they just got obviously overtaken by Chelsea as a result of their last couple of results with Chelsea winning and Leicester drawing the Arsenal but yeah brilliant brilliant season under Brendan Rodgers Vardy what a season he's had it doesn't seem to you know his age doesn't seem to be any sort of factor as always got 22 goals his top of the pile ahead of a lot of world-class strikers so unfortunately from England's point of view of course he's decided to retire but then maybe he's not quite Gareth Southgate's target age but yeah he'll be an absolute threat you always seems to be when he plays against Bournemouth yeah they have had a mixed bag as you say since they've come back they've only won once actually since they've come back from from restart couple of sticky little draws when they were looking to get going against Watford of course they got pegged back in the last minute and Brighton a pretty poor home goalless draw as well the Arsenal Leicester game in earlier on in the week was actually one of the better better entertainment packages if you like of the games we've seen so far a good one-one draw between two teams chasing Europe so yeah away from home I'm hoping that they continue their inconsistency and haven't quite managed to fire on all cylinders so far they've obviously had Madison was injured for that game it would be good if he was haven't heard the team news from Leicester Leicester's end yet but it would be nice if someone of his ability wasn't available to come to Bournemouth for sure and when we look back earlier in the season at the game up there you know Vardy scored early Callum Wilson equalised pretty quickly we had the Tealamans challenge on Callum Wilson where VAR again was it popped out for a coffee or something at that moment and it was you know a day at the end that was comfortable for Leicester so yeah I think Bournemouth and Leicester have always had interesting sort of ding-dong battles there was a 4-2 I think last season possibly I missed the game but yeah so competitive game coming up but again as I say definitely need a point probably need three bearing in mind that the teams on Saturday will probably win and in terms of our team news Eddie Howells just said in his press conference Adam Smith won't make it he's hopeful for David Brooks which again is encouraging if we can get more minutes in him yeah again two games in the space of four days or going again I guess 72 hours after the previous game they've obviously got till Sunday night to recover and inverted commas but yeah that might be a tall order for David Brooks I actually wouldn't be surprised to see a change made there wouldn't be surprised to see Harry Wilson possibly come in on that on that right-hand side because David Brooks if he is struggling then to throw him out there again given that I mean if he was sort of irreplaceable on current form you'd say maybe throw him out there again because there's no point resting him for games that are coming up because there's only three more but his form hasn't shown so far that he's someone you wouldn't be too worried about leaving out so I wonder if you know Harry Wilson came on and he got himself in a couple of good positions he hasn't been consistent probably all sees it actually but hasn't been that consistent since he's had minutes back in the off the bench in this restart period so possibly a change there and obviously Adam Smith will be out as you say so Jack Stacey will will come in the good news for Adam Smith is that I think that it's not doesn't seem to be too serious but with sort of concussion and protocols and and player care these days obviously won't be available and you know the way he was stretched it off it looked pretty nasty so that's good news in some respects from Adam Smith's side of things and then apart from that and the rest of the team I can't see any other changes really I mean Gosling and Lerma know what looked a much better central midfield partnership Steve Cook wasn't fully fit he was on the bench as an emergency against Spurs so he's unlikely I don't think to be you know back to full fitness in the space of three days for Leicester particularly with a hamstring which is a bit risky and also you know you couldn't really separate Lord Kelly and Nathan Ackay after they've just kept a clean sheet so yeah all in all I think probably minimal changes if they're all physically able to go again with maybe Harry Wilson for Brooks possibly the only change and just finally in terms of Leicester you mentioned Jamie Vardy a little bit earlier he's certainly going to be the one to watch isn't he you know chasing that golden boot he's going to be wanting to fire in those goals yeah and he's another one who doesn't need too many invitations to take opportunities you know if you you give him a sniff you give him a bit of space his pace running in behind he seems to have got quicker if anything I think over the year the last couple of years rather than going the other way and starting to lose a yard of pace so it's another different challenge for you know for Kelly and Ackay as a sort of a fledgling partnership if you like Harry Kane you know Eddie was talking in his press conference the thing about defending Harry Kane is that it's all about concentration because in you know a split second you can lose him all of a sudden so with the two tests that I say come through I mean obviously they conceded five against Manchester United but you know Lord Kelly stood up very well against you know Rashford Marcial Greenwood Fernandez the rest for his for his centre half Premier League debut if you like he's kept a clean sheet against Kane and restricted them to no shots on target so yeah another another sort of a notch I guess in the education of Lloyd Kelly but nothing to suggest so far that he's not up to the task and of course expectation levels they do rise very quickly when someone comes along and shows a bit of ability and of course I saw people cursing Harry Arthur for the challenge that of course put Lloyd Kelly out for most of the season saying if Harry Arthur hadn't put that tackled in preseason then you know things might have been a little bit different with Lloyd Kelly of the team but that's a I think cutting it some straws. I have quite possibly well that is all we've got time for today if you are around on Sunday you can listen on AFCB TV to Chris and we'll out for full live commentary we'll be back next Tuesday to preview that game at Manchester City bye for now
