Looking at where AFCB would probably like to be come half way through the season there is much work to be done on the pitch. The next 10 games will decide if the Cherries can be confident of pulling away from the relegation zone or if they will become one of the favourites to go down. I estimate that the team needs to win as many as five games out of the next 10 to get back on track by almost the mid-way period of the season.
By then AFCB will have played 17 games and a points total of 19 points would be something that would give encouragement to their top flight survival. But if the Cherries are well below this kind of total by the time they get to play Man Utd away, it will be tough for them to recover as they will have to hit even better form to get out of trouble. At the start of each season we know that 10 wins and 10 draws will keep you up, in all but the most extreme of seasons, but AFCB have to break things down and target small amount of games to get near to that total.
The Huddersfield, Burnley and Southampton home games will be critical in any run and Swansea and Crustal Palace remain in the bottom few teams when AFCB play them away they will be two other matches that will be very important to pick up all three points in. But it will of course be valuable if the team can get anything when they play Spurs and Chelsea, while even draws against Stoke and Newcastle would be good points to accumulate.
In other news, Harry Arter played 77 minutes of Republic of Ireland's World Cup final group game against Wales and played a part in dummying the ball when McCean scored Ireland's winner on 56 minutes.Now Ireland await who they'll get n the two-leg play-offs.

The road ahead is not going to be simple now and Eddie Howe has already said that he does not want a mountain to climb, but the poor start has already made things difficult. The comfort at the moment is that AFCB are only one win away from getting out of the relegation zone, but AFCB can't reply on other results going for them. They need to find a way to get wins fast now if they want to stay in this league.
