The games are already edging towards 10 and AFCB are still stuck in the bottom three and only looking down on Crystal Palace, but that could all change with a home win against Leicester City. There has been criticism about the way the team has been failing to hold on to leads, and if the game goes according to plan we could well see AFCB ahead and trying to hold on to the points against the foxes if they can make one of their exciting fast starts. But will it be deja vue?
Playing Leicester City is a fixture that has predominantly ended in a draw in recent seasons. Getting one over the Foxes is rare, but Bournemouth have the players to do it. Beating Leicester would be a great feeling at home and by lifting the team out of the bottom zone they would go into the Spurs game with a real chance. But they need our support at home to get past Leicester. It is no good us fans battering them every time a pass goes astray and a move breaks down. Let's get back to being the plucky underdog and the team that fights for every ball. The lads will do that if we get behind them.
There has been a bit of expectancy that AFCB will just turn it on at some point, but it's not going to happen without some encouragement. I've been reading all the comments that so-called fans post on other sites and while we all are frustrated, the team is still playing for Eddie. Fans who have it in for Eddie need to remember what it used to be like. He has not become a bad manager just because the team hasn't picked up many points from their first six games.
Let's be proud of our team and stick behind them, because if we don't the task for them becomes much harder. Let's go into the international break with a win. UTCIAD!
Possible AFCB team to face Leicester City

| Leicester City are placed tantalising just above AFCB in the table. |
Things are getting more serious each time a game goes by. While some have been annoyed at the style of play, I don't believe this team is a group of players that can play long and just knock balls off the pitch when they are ahead. They have to play the possession game as Eddie has said endlessly, but they also need to get back into position quicker when they do lose possession. Too often we see players struggling to get back and to make a solid two lines of four. It's this lack of mindfulness that has been costing the team, like the first goal at Everton.
