Batman Posted 29 December, 2014 Share Posted 29 December, 2014 Who do want and who do you think? I really think Howe will get bournemouth up, they look excellent. That will probably mean that Boruc will sign permanently for them If they do come up, I just cannot see how they could stay up!!! Derby will be up there and will do it I like Boro too and think they will join them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby will be up there and will do it I like Boro too and think they will join them Howe has done an absolutely amazing job for them. They're not just scraping through, but hammering teams. Not sure if I'd want them to come up though, despite our good record against them when we were in League One, I think it'd be a tougher game for us than other sides down there, as they'd really raise their game for one scalp of the year. Looks like them, along with Ipswich, Derby and M'Boro, don't mind any three of them really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 29 December, 2014 Share Posted 29 December, 2014 Definitely want Bournemouth up. Although I doubt many Saints fans consider it a serious rivalry, I'd like some sort of neighbourly rival now Reading have sunk and the skates have disappeared.

beatlesaint Posted 29 December, 2014 Share Posted 29 December, 2014 Bournemouth wouldn't be the whipping boys many think. Not saying they would survive but at home they will beat a fair few Prem teams and would give themselves half a chance. They won't be able to sustain it though with small crowds as others have found to their cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxford_lou Posted 29 December, 2014 Share Posted 29 December, 2014 Howe has done an absolutely amazing job for them. They're not just scraping through, but hammering teams. He sure has - great to see a talented young English manager doing well. I'm curious to se if his tactics are sophisticated enough for the Premier League, but I'd definitely like to see him give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 29 December, 2014 Share Posted 29 December, 2014 Bournemouth haven't been afraid to throw money at the team, you would imagine they'd do so again if they went up. Nagging feeling that they might just fall away when it comes to the crunch as they don't have a great deal of experience, but on the flipside that might work to their advantage. It seems we could play a fairly key role as well, as Boruc has been on a short-term loan deal, I don't think they're able to extend it, so they might have to sign him permanently.

Dalek2003 Posted 29 December, 2014 Share Posted 29 December, 2014 Well Bournemouth might surprise a few if they get up. An unknown quantity, tight little ground and very good manager. Provided they don't go mad with the spending, a single season will set them up nicely in financial terms. One more thing, the Skates will then well and truly be the laughing stock of the South Coast.

After Millwall yesterday I saw him whilst the majority of our squad were on the coach (waiting for their journey home) standing beside the Millwall Cafe (opposite the Millwall club shop) with 3 or 4 of his Polish mates, having a fag dressed in his AFCB attire.

CB Fry Posted 29 December, 2014 Share Posted 29 December, 2014 Bournemouth coming up would be brilliant. As would, for purely selfish reasons, Derby. The other team not really fussed about. Ipswich and Boro both due another crack at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericb Posted 29 December, 2014 Share Posted 29 December, 2014 Would love the Cherries to come up would be superb for them and given all their hard times it'd be the icing on the cake for them. Like many i always look out for their results and really want them to do well. Would also like to see Brentford come up too, only because i missed the away day there last time and i want to tick the ground off. Aside from that i'd like to Forest back up from the play offs, partly because it's a great away day and partly because a club their size should be in the to flight.

angelman Posted 29 December, 2014 Share Posted 29 December, 2014 Definitely B'mouth. We are southerners and there are far too many northerners in the PL. I know a lot will disagree, but anything north of Winchester is north to me, although some might stretch that to Basingstoke. Another reason I would like them to come up is that I was born in Boscombe. Don't care about any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stockportsaint Posted 29 December, 2014 Share Posted 29 December, 2014 Bournemouth, Blackburn and either Derby or Forest. Bournemouth because I quite like Eddie Howe and it would really underline pompeys insignificance. Blackburn as they're my Dads team, plus quite local for me. Derby or Forest for selfish geographical reasons and they're both a good day out - know cracking boozers in both cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 8 March, 2015 Share Posted 8 March, 2015 Reaching the PL would be an amazing feat for Bournemouth and would be a real smack in the eye for all those pundits that claim that parachute payments guarantees that the same few clubs will keep yo-yo-ing between the lower reaches of the PL and the upper tier of the Championship and let's face it , it also a long time since Middlesborough and Derby were up there. Mind you it also raises the question of where all that money went to if it didn't get used to return bigger clubs immediately to the top flight.

They are a very attacking side and generally allow their opponents a high number of attempts at their own goal. They do dominate possession and create shed loads in attack.. in the premier league, playing like that is suicide for a newly promoted side over the course of a season. allowing the opposition to have 15 shots on goal will mean (as a club like bournemouth) you will lose a fair few, more so when they will have far less possession compared to now Edited 8 March, 2015 by Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 8 March, 2015 Share Posted 8 March, 2015 it's going to be a real lottery by the end of the season .with 5 teams covered by goal difference. I'm really pleasantly surprised that B'mouth are still hanging in there. I think Derby look a strong outfit, and Middlesboro' would probably survive a season or two, but Bournemouth would face a real challenge to stay up. If Boruc stays (quite likely) they may stay up, but won't make much profit from an 11,000 capacity stadium, and they will need some real strengthening in all areas. As for the rest... think they'd be cannon fodder for many Prem. sides and looking at the bottom of the Prem. it's hard to remember how good those sides looked last year.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 8 March, 2015 Share Posted 8 March, 2015 Here's a few home truths about Boscombe. They are following exactly the same business model that was so sucsessful for the fishy few.
