I expect the return of fans to Dean Court will be a bit of a celebration game. It may not come at the best time for Huddersfield Town, but Bournemouth played up at Middlesbrough when they were allowed some fans and Bournemouth have had no vocal support for quite some time at games, 287 days to be exact. I imagine that the fans will be well spread out, but I hope they can make some noise as it will help the team.
Bournemouth can be pleased with the defensive side of the game, but they will be looking to find ways of getting back to opening teams up. Jason Tindall seems a bit cautious about Aranaut Danjuma being 100 per cent ready, but I'd expect him to be at least on the bench. We may find a few changes for this game, as the Swansea game followed quickly after the Barnsley result and it was a heavy pitch at the Liberty Stadium.

I am hoping the crowd noise will help Bournemouth to make a quick start and get an early goal. Bournemouth have looked at their best when they get an early goal to settle them down. It has been a struggle when they have conceded early on, even if they have made some comebacks with the most notable one being against Reading.

Philip Billing of course will be hoping to make an appearance against his old club. Tindall has been able to give Philip Billing and Lewis Cook the game at Swansea with Jefferson Lerma being on the bench, but Lerma will want back in now and that could mean Philip Billing is on the bench for this game. With Diego Rico definitely out with a suspension, Tindall could bring in Jack Simpson or Jordan Zemura if he wants to keep Adam Smith on the right side.
I still feel the most unlucky player at the moment is Sam Surridge. He missed out in the last match from starting when he might have hoped to carry on his run. He is likely to be frustrated again for this game but I'd like to see him given 45 minutes, if Solanke comes up with another blank against Huddersfield in the first half, or indeed it would be good to see Solanke and Surridge as a two up front. The forward roles of Stanislas and Brooks though is something that works well and that should mean that it is only going to be one center-forward working between the two wingers.
