benjii Posted 19 September, 2019 Share Posted 19 September, 2019 (edited) Given absences then, I would go with: Gunn Danso Bednarek Yoshida Bertrand Romeu Hoj JWPy Ingsy Boufaly Adam's On the bench: McCarthyy, Vestergaard, Cedric, Armstrong, Redmond, Longy, O'bafemiy Edited 19 September, 2019 by benjii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWar Posted 19 September, 2019 Share Posted 19 September, 2019 I'd play a 3421 as that has been our most reliable formation so far. Have jwp back at wingback and play Gunn Danso vestergaard bednarek JWP Romeu Hoj bertrand Adams Ings boufal If we had redmond or djenepo I would drop bertrand, have danso at lb and play a 433 with JWP in the 3 man midfield Sent from my G3311 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 19 September, 2019 Share Posted 19 September, 2019 Lack of creativity if both Redmond and Djenepo miss out. Amazing how quickly Boufal has become a key player. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 20 September, 2019 Share Posted 20 September, 2019 Though it pains me to say it, in the cold light of day, Bournemouth and Spurs are more important games than the cup game, so if players need resting, they should be protected for next weekend - Ralph has a balancing act on his hands. Next week could see the first local derby in history when we have rested players. A sad reflection on the sorry state of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next week could see the first local derby in history when we have rested players. A sad reflection on the sorry state of them. Why would anyone need resting? 8pm Friday > 7.45pm Tuesday (possible pens but no extra time, in a game we should win in second gear) > 3pm Saturday. Even the traveling time for the 2 aways is pretty minimal. If they can't manage those 3 games without needing a rest (genuine injuries aside) they really shouldn't be playing at this level.

Sheaf Saint Posted 20 September, 2019 Share Posted 20 September, 2019 Two very interesting stats from the BBC... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49684490 Bournemouth have never won a match at Southampton in any competition (D6, L9). Southampton have lost their last four home league games on a Friday, although three of those were in the Championship between 2007 and 2012.

JRM Posted 20 September, 2019 Share Posted 20 September, 2019 I know its a Friday night and on TV but surprised at how many tickets are still on sale, mostly at the Chapel end and Itchen / Kingsland South. Hopefully 8pm Friday will help get the atmosphere going, the bucket rattlers don't tend to sing much though. If either side wins tonight they'll be 3rd in the table, for a few hours at least, would love that to be us but going for 2-2 draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our top scorer is Djenepo (who sadly won't be playing tonight) with 2 and theirs is Callum Wilson with 3 after that neither team has much in the goals department.

OttawaSaint Posted 20 September, 2019 Share Posted 20 September, 2019 Cedric, JV, JB and Danso behind Hoj and Rom with JWP, Boufal and Reds ahead of them Adams up front or maybe JWP and Cedric as wingbacks and a 3CB or even Reds up top with Adams.

Nolan Posted 20 September, 2019 Share Posted 20 September, 2019 I would be very surprised if Danso isn't back at LB or LWB. (more than likely back to a back 4) Djenepo was only there as Danso was suspended.No need for any surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verlaine1979 Posted 20 September, 2019 Share Posted 20 September, 2019 I think it's a Bertrand thing, not a Danso thing. Bertrand is out for whatever reason and Danso is deemed the best option. It's pretty weird. Left back is generally not one of those positions where if a player is only 75% fit you still stick him on the bench in case he can make a difference late-on in the game. Nor would you generally use an unfit player to replace an injured one or to shore up the defence if you're holding a lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird of the land Posted 20 September, 2019 Share Posted 20 September, 2019 You've got to assume it's highly likely Bertrand will be off in January if Ralph would prefer to handicap his side rather than play him. Equally its curious to see Valery can't even make the bench now. Is he injured or has he done something to displease ralph Personally i think its wrong that Yoshida who was excellent at the weekend gets dropped and Vestergaard who was less impressive gets retained.
