What is it about TK that we just adore?

For the first time in many matches I think there were more calls for a player to give the crowd a wave than Eddie Howe. Yes, TK was centre of attention for the Millwall away match as he got a start and the chance to impress having seen the Kermorgant and Grabban act keep him out of the team for several weeks on end. To see Rantie and Kermorgant together was something for everyone to look forward to. It is the little and large show that should really be effective. But there is not yet the understanding that Yann and Lewis have when they play together.


Tokelo gets a recall at Millwall.
Tokelo does not seem to mind though. He went on to that pitch giving no less than 110 per cent and while he did not score he pulled a very good save out of David Forde and was like a busy bee for most f the game. I am sure Eddie Howe will look to see him beef up a little in the summer and learn a bit more about his movement and finishing as he puts more of the final touches to his game. 

What was most pleasing to see though is that the Bournemouth fans have not got on TK's back. Yes, he could have scored more goals but he still wants to be that big success and with the crowd helping him by cheering his every move it should give him more confidence to try things and not be afraid of missing. In many ways I think it will be helpful to him in the end that Grabban and Kermorgant have done so well as the pressure is off him now a little and he has some time to develop his game with Jason Tindall and Eddie Howe.
Oh, Tokelo Rantie!
Top scorer next season? Well I can't guarantee that but Eddie Howe has chosen TK to do a job for AFCB and if it has not quite worked out yet there is no one who won't love to shout "Oh Tokelo Rantie!" if he can find his feet and start to deliver something extra to the team. I'll certainly be looking to see how he gets on in South Africa's friendlies that are coming up on the next few weeks.



TK gives a wave while the team goes through its warm up moves.

I think we could all have a sort through our photos this year from matches and if you have a favourite picture, perhaps with a player or friends on a match day, then let us know when it was taken and your name and I'll post it on Match Day Gallery for the summer months, so that we can remove that Millwall defeat. Just send in your pictures to Peter, email: bellp2103@gmail.com
