Cherries: Addison's season is over after foot injury (From Thisisdorset)

Could well have played his last game for us then, good luck with the surgery Miles!! Oh and I don't predict a draw at best in our next two games, we are far better than certain posters will have you believe, 2 defeats in 22 backs that up, not one defeat at Preston away!!

I have to say I am not too disappointed with this news. We have far better players than Addison in my opinion. He certainly wont cut it in Championship. The real bad news is Tommy being out longer now. UTCIAD

Yes it is a shame. I know we have Seabourne and Painter in on loan, however I do feel that the fabric of our defence has been compromised and indeed slightly weakened. In addition to this we have no cover in defensive positions which is a concern.
.
That is why I feel that a draw for this Saturday is the best we could hope for. Coventry on Tuesday is also a concern. Obviously if we had Elphick and Daniels we would be more comfortable.
.
We are playing some tough oppostion over the next few weeks and I feel that if we do fail in getting promotion it will be down to defensive frailties. Maybe a couple of loan signings may be in order.
.

Agreed defensively we are a little shaky, but we are back at court and we are very strong at home. Still 3-2 to us.

Ps what's happened to Tranmere???

Agreed - But however if we are chasing promotion we cannot just rely on our home games, we need to pick up points at away also and that is harder if we have defensive issues.
.
You ask what has happened to Tranmere - well my answer to that one is - the same thing that will happen to us if we do nat address our cover in defensive postions.
.
I do hope you are right with your prediction for Saturday but I feel that if we concede first it will be game over.

Try being positive for once, we are at home on a great playing surface, all teams will drop points around us. Bet your great fun to go on holiday with!! Not.

Regards :)

The negative comments on here is unbelievable. I hope you ain't seated next to me Saturday. I bet you can't wait for us to get beat at home. To be honest we could do without you. Up the cherries.

Good luck miles with your surgery. Hope to see you back in the squad per-season. And to all who down him when he is going under the surgeons knife. You should hang your heads in shame. He recieved that injury playing for our club. Get well soon.

Agree "all teams around us will drop points" this will start the Blades and Coventry at the Quicksands!!

Get well soon Miles and good to hear your thoughts are positive!

Eeyore meets Mr "you don't wanna it like that"!

The true fans of this club (those that go along most weeks) look at the Sheff Utd fixture as an experience to enjoy and we do, win, lose or draw. That is what is so different and fantastic about this club. But your all too frequent and gloomy posts reveal that you wouldn't know that.
The club has been so close to extinction in the not-too-distant past and saved thanks to the hard work of people like Trevor Watkins and later the money and drive of Eddie Mitchell.
We've experienced the lows under so many managers who tried their best but failed, and then gloried in the rise of our own, home grown star manager who is now firmly "our Eddie". We've battled without any favours from the big-city-favouring Football League. 10 and 17 point deductions, transfer embargo - Pompey don't know how lucky they've been. We've enjoyed battling through those EXPERIENCES, and being there to celebrate our achievements despite the odds. So win, lose or draw we WILL enjoy Saturday.
smhinto, these experiences are beyond the understanding of armchair 'footy fans' who cannot see beyond the often dull Champions League. I've said this many times before, leave your keyboard alone, get out of your chair and come along to the ground and simply ENJOY the experience!
UTCIAD

I have to agree with many others that have commented before, that I am not too worried about this loss.
I wish him personally all the luck and best wishes but I am afraid that he is not good enough to get back in this current team.
Too many mistakes and he does not look comfortable enough on the ball for this level.
Once again good luck Miles but may be it's time to move on.

Miles I wish you the very best of luck with the recovery from this injury and hope that we will see you on a football pitch either playing for us or some other team, no one's career should be curtailed by injury regardless of the profession.

As for all this prediction lark I have been scratching my head and asked why is it necessary to predict an actual score apart from saying that we all wish to see our team win as many games as possible.

Predicting actual scores seems somewhat silly especially when a bad decision by the ref or severe injury two one or more players could turn a game upside down.

I want Bournemouth to beat the hell out of Sheffield United and other teams for that matter but I could not care less if we won by one, two, three or a dozen goals what matters is that we get the points.

Positive predictions for the next few games:
The Blades will get blunted!!
The sky will turn red ‘n black on the SkyBlues!
The O’s will be saying “oh dear”!
Donny Rovers will get ‘returned’!

12pts for the Cherries, up the ‘muff!!!!!

Think 12 pts is perhaps a tad optimistic but I like your enthusiasm! Can't believe the amount of doom and gloom after just one defeat. Would prefer to see Richie reverting to left back on saturday, nothing against Painter but think we need to keep some sort of continuity in the back 4. As for Addison. Nice guy, clearly has a lot of affection for the club and proud to be captain. Unfortunately on the pitch he's not good enough, he's good in the air and strong in the tackle but is too slow and cumbersome, he panics on the ball and has the turning circle of the titanic. Elphick and Cook could be our central defensive pairing for the next decade. utciad

Nothing but a win on Saturday in honour of my dear brother who sadly lost his fight with the dreaded 'C' word this afterrnon but will I am sure be looking down on his adopted English Team and cheering them on. Viva le ciliege Rosse

Sell him - too hesitant and made costly mistakes!! - Tommy & Steve ten times better, oh, and bring back Zubar!.
Thank you to ALL the Management and Players for making my winter a brilliant one. Can't wait for Saturdays and Tuesday encounters - I was at both the away ones and dying to see our revenge with 2 wins. COURs !

. . smhinto, . . . You have spent most of the the season talking AFC BMTH down. . . and what do we do?. . We keep climbing the table. . . . SO KEEP IT UP.

Anagram of Smhinto = Snot Him,so we
can't blame him 'cos it's someone else!

I do not see why I appear to be attracting 'Flak' here. All I have said is that we have defensive issues with Elphick and Daniels missing and it is starting to take it's toll in view of the opposition we are about to face.
.
How is that talking AFCB down???
.
ULESS OF COURSE IT IS ALL A DREAM!! - Both Elphick and Daniels are not injured after all !!! and of course we have plenty of cover in abundance don't we !!. and we are not playing Sheff Utd who are strong side on Saturday with defensive problems at all !!

Prayers with your family nonno!

I think Addison can be a good squad player and Eddie can get the best out of him. He came here a decent centre half and Groves turned him into a Sunday league player!

As for Smhinto saying we need to bring in loans, what are Painter and Seabourne?

Very difficult game this weekend but we can get the victory

In Eddie and Jason we trust! UTC!

You really can't see why you're attracting flak? Perhaps it's because you've been bad mouthing your team since pre-season. As I've said before, I'm not a Cherries fan but if I was I would be proper hacked off with you.

Desperately sad to read of your loss Nonno. My condolences to you, and your family. Your brother won't be suffering any more, little consolation I know...
