Bournemouth changed the line -up for the Villa game and it was no surprise to see Charlie Daniels back in favour, having recovered from his long-term injury. Daniels has been rushed back, but he needed to be pushed back quickly with the injury to Lloyd Kelly.
While Diego Rico played in the first match against Sheffield United, he couldn't hold back a fully-fit Charlie Daniels. The team is of course familiar with Daniels being at left-back and it gives the team more of a regular feel to it with Daniels and Fraser able to play their usual patterns of play.
I imagine Daniels will be closely monitored this week to make sure he has not over done things, and is able to continue playing, having gone through 90 minutes last Saturday. The team has had a lot of injuries and with Daniels and Steve Cook only recently regaining fitness, it may take a few games for Bournemouth to really put in some strong defensive performances.
The good point is that Daniels has had a full game under his belt before having to face Man City.

That was what pleased Eddie Howe so much about the Aston Villa game. The defenders managed to get through the 90 minutes without picking up any strains and almost keeping a clean sheet. The aim now must be to keep those four players on the field and yet with the might of Man City coming up next it might encourage Eddie Howe to add another central defender to the mix.
