Title: Good luck to Bournemouth tonight!
Post by: davew on April 27, 2015, 07:22:13 PM
In my opinion the best team in our division this season and I think they fully deserve promotion! Everybody at the club including the manager seem to have given 100% throughout the long season, something which cannot be said about FFC. Regarded as a small club it just shows what can be achieved if you have the right people and you don't need a huge budget or a past history to achieve success! Good luck to you tonight!

Totally agree, a club that seems to have similar 'values' to us.

Howe is such a good manager. They obviously don't have the best players in the division, but he has them set up so well. They look very organised and have good pace throughout the side. They barely spent any money and the majority of the first team played in their last promotion and didn't previously have experience in this league.

Bogdan keeping Bolton in this. Shame we didn't take a punt on Howe last year

Amazing what a good manager can do with an average set of players (bar Richie who is very good)

A great story and I am really pleased for them. They will come straight back down and lose their manager if they do but so what. They deserve this moment, best team in the league with the best manager.

Well done to all involved! Enjoy it as these moments dont last forever!

Hope Kit is watching the devastating impact of their wingers. If he stays on next year we must play with more width.

Eddie Howe deserves great credit for getting an average group of players playing beyond limits they didn't even know they had. Consistency has also been vital for Bournemouth, Cook and Elphick at the back have played every game this season together - as well as the past three seasons. Simon Francis and Charlie Daniels have also been a part of that back four since 2012.

Harry Arter was picked up by Bournemouth in 2010 from Woking, Marc Pugh too has been there for five years, so I do think that any team that has had it's core retain the same for that long will benefit from that retention.

Anyway, they've played bold and exciting football all season and fully deserve automatic promotion.

Well done Bournemouth - well deserved.
Personally I think we need the type of pacy players Bournemouth have throughout their side - we do have width in attack but no pace.
Second lesson - we need to demonstrate the quick and consistent re-organisation and concentration Bournemouth have demonstrated this season when they did not have the ball.

Hey, when we were battling the Europa journey they were in League 2...we're now closer to League 1 and they're Premier League. :(

Well done to them... Echoes of Wimbledon's rise from non league to top tier.

A great rags-to-riches story.  I'm so pleased for them, their fans, their town.

I'm Facebook friends with Marc Pugh  :008:

Good to have a different team in the Premier. I hope they go on and win the League first season, and do the Double of you know who.

To think we were linked with Matt Ritchie in January.
Now the Players Player of the season in the Championship....

Good wide players... Pugh underrated. Turned Hoogland inside out at Craven Cottage. Agree with all the comments. Their football is just so positive based on total commitment from every player. I like the way they create space with excellent movement, quick passing when possible, but a lot of good choices being made. And as someone commented, they work hard when they lose the ball. Eddie Howe ... what a star.
