Bournemouth basically have a new signing in Cameron Carter-Vickers. He hasn't played since he was signed on loan in the summer and I suppose he hasn't been a great signing in that respect, but Bournemouth surely knew when they signed him how long it was likely to take to get him match fit. Now he has played his first game, can he recover quickly?
Whether a 90 minute game against Oldham is enough for Tindall to feel confident about Cameron is what we now wait to see. The next game against Millwall on Tuesday might seem a bit early to throw Cameron in for another start, if he has any reaction from playing a full game this last weekend.
It is hard to see what Bournemouth's strangest backline is. Eventually, it could well be Adam Smith, S Cook, Carter-Vickers and Kelly in a back four. I feel Jack Stacey is more productive going forward than Adam Smith, while I also like the calmness of Chris Mepham when he is on his game. The main thing is there is competition at last at the back, and with Bournemouth doing pretty well for clean sheets in recent games, the addition of Cameron to the squad should hopefully make a difference in the second half of the season.
