VectisSaint Posted 20 October, 2018 Share Posted 20 October, 2018 Really don't understand how Hoedt continues to be picked with Yoshida on the bench. Good to see Stephens back but should have been alongside Yoshida. Can understand Vestegaard being dropped, too slow against Boscombe front players.

Shroppie Posted 20 October, 2018 Share Posted 20 October, 2018 Agreed. And any of Gabbiadini, Armstrong, Long, Romeu, Ward-Prowse should be in instead of Austin.Really don't understand how Hoedt continues to be picked with Yoshida on the bench.

Good to see Stephens back but should have been alongside Yoshida. Can understand Vestegaard being dropped, too slow against Boscombe front players. It's just bonkers isn't it. Yoshida, despite his faults, is our most reliable CB by a long stretch. He did OK against Chelsea, given the strength of the opposition, and now gets dropped to the bench again with Hoedt still, inexplicably, managing to be the first name on the team sheet. And Gabbiaidini showed more threat in the time he was on the pitch against Chelsea than Austin has done all season, so naturally he gets dropped as well. I was so willing to give Hughes the benefit of the doubt, but he clearly doesn't have a clue what he is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKD Posted 20 October, 2018 Share Posted 20 October, 2018 Shocking CB pairing, simply shocking. Will be a 4231 with ings dropping into the 10 I’d have thought. Austin tends to do well against Bompey so can understand he inclusion, but Stephens!?!? Assuming Vest been left out due to the pace of their front 2? And Hodet seems to be first name on the team sheet, can only assume he’s sucking Hughes off during the week? Better hope Bournemouth have an off day.

stevy777_x Posted 20 October, 2018 Share Posted 20 October, 2018 There's a reason for that! I know! But its probably why Hughes chose them because he s worked with them. That and the fact that Yoshida got back wed night and is probably jetlagged and he doesn t want to play vestegaard because of pace of front 2 of bompey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got to hope we can get something today! COYR Yep, thought Gabbiadini played well before the break and is now benched in favour of Austin who has been awful. Romeu also played well when brought on at half time and a midfield of Hoj, Lemina and Romeu has led to our best performances - Romeu not even on the bench. Lack of attacking press today from Ings, Austin, Moi and Redmond might put a lot of pressure on Lemina and Hoj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danbert Posted 20 October, 2018 Share Posted 20 October, 2018 Can't argue with that team really. None of our center backs are great shakes, but personally I'd have kept Vestergaard in, as Stephens doesn't convince me at all. After calamity Yoshi's last performance I find it strange that people think he's the answer, loyal servant though he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Albert Posted 20 October, 2018 Share Posted 20 October, 2018 Stephens feels like he’s come into the team from nowhere...considering Bournemouth’s lineup perhaps his mobility and ability to defend against speedy attackers with the ball at their feet is the reason?

St Marco Posted 20 October, 2018 Share Posted 20 October, 2018 Apparently Hughes said the training went really well, we showed some serious class. We beat the cones 3-2 with a last minute goal mouth scramble to score. (seriously though it really winds me up when Hughes talks about how quality we have been in training).

striker Posted 20 October, 2018 Share Posted 20 October, 2018 The team looks fine, and I think Hughes is just putting together a team that attacks the Cherries well situationally. Plus we don't know who came back from International break when, and if they were a little banged up. Time to get this season into gear. Lets get a win here!
