The match against Luton couldn't have come at a much better time for one of AFCB's winger that comes to mind. With Junior Stanislas being out for a month it is perhaps an opportunity for Danjuma or Riquelme to get a run of games.
Jason Tindal was keeping his cards close to his chest on whether Chris Mepham or Arnaut Danjuma would be back for the Luton game. Cameron Carter-Vickers, Jack Stacey are also possibly in contention to be in the squad. But it is noticeable that Jason said Josh King was looking sharp in training. That could mean that Bournemouth start with King and Solanke if Danjuma is perhaps not quite ready.
With Dan Gosling being out for another week at least, there is still interest in getting Jack Wilshere to sign, but Tindall hasn't said much apart from he'd like to do a deal.
Tindall felt that it didn't matter that Bournemouth had played against Luton recently. While he talked of the tough schedule when the team played Luton last time, the pitch at Kenilworth Road wasn't great and Bournemouth ran out of ideas to some extent. That can't be repeated now. Bournemouth should have more awareness of Luton's weaknesses.
Bournemouth's problem is still consistency. The team needs to settle down a bit more in the names being picked and the performances have perhaps been better than the points accumulated. With only three defeats and nine draws. It's the draw that have been damaging compared to Swansea and Norwich who have drawn fewer games. Tindall will feel he has done. good job. The reality is that he needs to get AFCB into the automatic promotion places and the players will be aware of this.
The early part of the season has seen the introduction of lots of new players which is great as they can now be turned to if needed. But Jason should know his best team now and I want to see it on the pitch and delivering solid performances. I am not sure that all the best players are yet available though to Tindall.
