Saint Garrett

I'd love him to sign a new contract, but clearly at the moment, he's assessing his options.

Thought he was excellent last night, did exactly what we needed him to do

Without being quite as blunt, I think thats a fair shout. I think Yoshida can easily come in and do a good job, but he normally starts slow when he comes into the side. Big performance needed all over the pitch to get a result. Is going to be a niggly game, but hopefully we can get them on the break.

There are a couple that are dedicated away pubs, "Prince George" and "The Railway Telegraph". I'm actually meeting a mate in Balham, as it's easy enough to nip over from there on the overground. COYS

There is no chance that Bournemouth are run sustainably, they've spent a sh1t tonne of money vs their revenue over the last few years. It's no surprise we're are always at the bottom of the expenditure tables. I'm not saying that we should go and splash the cash and go ridiculous, but we're the only club who has to sell to buy, whether thats right or not, is another question, but it's no surprise we're fighting for premier league status every year.

I think we probably have the worst owner in the Premier League at the moment.

I think Yoshida is a better player, but when he comes into the side, he normally needs a few games to get up and running, in expecting to see Vestergaard in there personally.

Will be a shame when he leaves, but he's not been able to get in this team, which has been atrocious at the back at times. Behind everyone, not worth renewing, especially as I assume we'll be bringing in another CB in the summer... Great servant though.

He posted on his Instagram last week he was back training, so perhaps he’s got to build up his fitness again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yup - very true. If Valery is back in the squad again, and Cedric has improved I'm not as worried about the RB position, but if Bertrand got injured we'd be struggling. If we hadn't had the upturn in results recently, we'd definitely be looking to bring some in, but maybe they might try and wait it out until the summer. Feels like we might as well just send Danso back to his club, all seems a bit pointless to me, unless we're locked into buying him and therefore will work on him in the centre back position once we're safe or over the summer...

All very quiet....

Absolutely pathetic from the club. Some terrible decisions regarding ticketing happening at the moment

Got one, no idea why 140 tickets have just gone on sale, but they have, probably reserved for kids club or club staff or something. Thanks Mattio! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

How ridiculous would that be.

Sure we give the largest away allocation out of any club in the league. Thought it was 10% or 3000, whichever is lower. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Hmm, probably not. We don’t bring in players on loan to not have to option / obligation to buy normally. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case if it is a loan

Could be Martinelli, Nelson or Saka I guess, or Nketiah. Be interesting, we never normally buy from other Prem clubs. Possibly a loan I guess...

Few updates on here: https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Basically sounds like they want an option to buy, whereas we're insisting on a obligation to buy, (£1m loan fee + £10m transfer fee in the summer). Think thats an absolute bargain for them if I'm honest...be interesting to see what happens, if they agree the obligation...

Got a draw at their place, think they're there for the taking at the moment, they are looking a tired side. Same team really, I'd be tempted to start with Adams. Maybe keep Djenepo from the bench. McCarthy; Cedric Stephens Bednarek Bertrand; Hojbjerg JWP; Armstrong Redmond; Ings Adams

Maehle?

Same thing for me, and I would have been able to buy them at the top of the sales too, but I didn' even realise they'd gone on sale until too late...! Luckily I've managed to find a Saints fan with a spare.

Away allocations are a joke, the Palace one is crazy, when have we ever not sold out at Palace?!!? The demand is way larger than the allocation at the moment.

Had high hopes for him at the start of the season, hasn’t turned out so far. He is however still a kid, and possibly if we do sign another RB, he can go out on loan for the second half of the season and get some games under his belt.

Think this is a new relatively young guy, who has been promoted after Adam Leitch left the Daily Echo a few months ago. Will give him a chance

Can Sims play now, I guess he can if fit?
