A special day at Dean Court

Bournemouth were a bit frustrated by their inability to score against Swansea City, but they more than made up for that against Huddersfield Town. Five goals was more than could have been expected but the pleasing thing is how so many players were getting forward and how very few chances were being squandered. 

Bournemouth hit top form against Huddersfield.

I am not sure what has happened over the past 12 months with Dominic Solabke. He has suddenly found his game having been so out of sorts in the past. The Championship certainly suits him as the goals come really quickly, and it has helped him get into relishing matches. He has taken on the mantle of wanting the ball when there is a chance to score, and he is finding the back of the net.

An inform David Brooks is certainly something to behold in the Championship. He was rightly the division's player of the month in November and he is terrorising defences now that he is back to full fitness and playing games week after week. Stopping him though is not the oppositions' only problem. as we have seen players like Junior Stanislas also turn on the after burners and run through the heart of Huddersfield's defence. It's going to be hard for Danjuma to get back into the side at its rate.

The option to also use Sam Surridge is starting to give AFCB even more ideas when the games need to be expanded. Surridge can shake up defences further. Sam is becoming comfortable in the team and he knows he is good enough now. The excitement and pleasure that individuals are doing so well is transmitted throughout the team, and that is developing a wonderful team spirit.

Bournemouth look in a much more positive place now than they have been in the last 12 months. Now they have something to build on.
