It's strange to see AFCB have to go into their last three games not having much to play for in the Premier League. The safety margin could have been realised a lot earlier and now it's just a record points total and a high finish in the table that the players can aim for. But Eddie Howe will also want to see the team get a win over Southampton who have again got themselves into a position where they cold challenge Bournemouth's position in the league come mid-May.
Going into the summer, all the talk has been of momentum and finding some wins to make the summer feel like a good period rather than a worrying one. A few weeks ago I'd say fans were worried about who might leave the club as the players had done well as a while, but now the mood is moving towards questioning, which are the players that are worth holding onto and can AFCB bring in more quality?
The remaining matches are going to be huge in deciding the future of some players. Eddie Howe will be thinking about next season already, even if he won't say so on camera. If the team continues to pick up defeats in these last three games, we can expect AFCB to be one of the favourites for relegation in 2019-20 and the pressure on Eddie Howe will continue to grow.

| AFCB need to cut their mistakes to do better. |
The other matches against Spurs and Crystal Palace don't feel like they are full of points for AFCB looking at the way that AFCB have been playing of late. It is hard to understand how AFCB can turn it on one week and look so far out of form the next. Yet, Howe has to find the answers.

AFCB release the Minus 17 video
I don't see relegation next year an issue..we have had five years premier league money whilst the promoted teams have one year a huge difference ....money talks in this league.....there is tons to play for ....every place is 1.9m in prize money so at least £5m at stake...a huge amount...
ReplyDeleteFor sure there will be ins and outs..and it might be an idea to have a reshuffle...I would say..out Ibe/Mousset/KIng/Hyndmann/Mahoney/Begovic/Boruc/Pugh/Stanislas
If an acceptable offer came in for Fraser/Ake..would take the money and rebuild....
That's a massive turf out when you consider others may move... Fraser, Wilson, that's leaving nothing to build on it's a complete rebuild. I agree there are players that need to go. Ibe was our first most expensive signing. For that price he needed to be a finished article.All we have seen is pretty raw and no development since day one. Got to go
