Despite this there will still be some 'empty heads' on here who will be expecting us to travel away to Orient on Saturday and still get a result despite the fact that injury problems have more or less cost us a possible 9 points.

Having both Arter and possibly Grabban missing will compound the problem more. Arter will also be missing for the Doncaster game which will also be lost through people being unavailable.

I believe a couple more loans may well be required.

Naturally of course i do hope i am wrong.

"A slight formation change will be enforced, therefore possibly disrupting our rhythm"??? Surely after 3 defeats in a row without scoring, that is exactly what we need to do? I'm trying not to be negative, but playing the same tactics when they arent working, just because they were 3 weeks ago, seems a bit naive to me. We need to shake it up a bit and prove we have a plan b. Even if we do go up, and I really hope we do, we'll struggle all season if we stick to one gameplan throughout.

McDonald in for Arter, Tubbs for Grabban. Ritchie at the back with Fraser on the wing. Sorted! We still have players like Fogden available so there are other options. I am sure the gaffer has it in hand. Hopefully Pugh will be fit again. There is still a long way to go and a lot of points available. Keep the faith.

I am a patient and tolerant man so have never commented on your posts but even I am fed up with your negativity and eagerness to post such comments. Did you go Tuesday? I did and thought we were fantastic for the opening half an hour and should have been two or three up before we let in a break away goal. Think there are tired legs and a little bit of self doubt when we missed chances and conceded. Root of problem is absence of elphick and Daniels but there is enough quality to win Saturday. Arter is a key man but think a two game break will do wonders as he looks tired. Grabban didn't do much Tuesday so not the end of the world. Still confident of a play off spot !

This not negativity my friend -
.
This is highlighting what is likely to happen when players are missing and at the same time playing strong sides.
.
Injuries can cost you promotion and can also get you relagated, rather like bad refereeing decisions of which can do the same.
.
At the moment we have Elphick, Daniels, Pugh, Arter and now possibly Grabban all out of the squad.
.
So with that said are you suggesting that with these people missing it will not make any difference at all ?

re-read the post and assess it on its merits of what is being said and not look at it in a negative way.

EXACTLY!!! It won't do any harm to ring a few changes anyway. But then SUPPORTING and watching the team you'd know that. As I've said MANY times before, what happens, happens, just get behind the TEAM/SQUAD and SUPPORT them!!! We MAY win Saturday, we MAY lose/draw, but the BIG difference now, is we all know (well, most of us), that they give their all for the cause, because Eddie/Jason would not except anything less....

BUT YOU DON'T EVEN GO TO THE CHERRIES MATCHES!!! You were at Burton weren't you Tuesday night? you don't know anything about this team as you never see them play, do not call real fans air-heads because they have faith in their team and are confident of a win, according to you so far this season we should be rock bottom, I have yet to see you predict a positive result!!

Smhinto, I don't think many people on here disagree with alot of your comments, its more about the general negativity you exude and how you seem to enjoy it when the Cherries are in a poor run of form. I totally get pessimism because with that outlook you never expect much good to happen and when it does its a bonus. I therefore challenge you with writing a nice positive post to raise all our spirits for the final 11 games.

It is not intended to wind you or anybody else up at all. I just on how i see things. .

Idiot...you are just a wind up artist.Bottom line is everyone who goes to the games knows what the problem is.Eddie Howe and jason Tindall are,in my opinion working bloody miracles at dean court.I would just like you to be a bit more forward thinking and express abit more passion for the team.Most posters on here do.You do need to get to more games rather than listen to games on solent,whilst travelling around the country scouting for the dorset u8 girl guide team...Regards

Interesting point here for you shminto. When you are dispatched to a game to compile a dossier on a particular team, presumably you are doing this work on behalf of another club, correct. When compiling your report do you tell your employer constantly, that they will struggle to beat the opposition for whatever reason or do you look for negatives in the team you are scouting. The reason i ask is because if it is the latter then that would explain your negative views, as that is what presumably you are paid to do, watch football and look for negatives. Correct.

Hoping for a surprise Saturday and 3 points at Orient.

Very true and a valid point, but MacDonald as useful as he is, is not the same type of player as Arter. Therefore a change of stratgedy will be in order of which will disrupt us perhaps.

The lad Fraser is a good prospect but is not accustomed to the rigours of League One and may not last the pace over a susutained period of pressure when chasing promotion.

Lastly of course Sheringham is not going to help us in the here and now.

Smhinto I think you underestimate Fraser. You say he is not accustomed to the "rigours" of League 1! I presume then that your travels never take you to SPL matches. I have followed the SPL for many years and I can guarantee it is rigorous. It is played at pace and can often resemble something more like rugby. Fraser picked up player of the month awards in this league and I can guarantee that Aberdeen are the only team up there glad to see him go. If he is fully fit I am sure he will be up to the task. I think you should watch him play before making judgements like that.

Highly unlikley that 3pts will be gained at Orient i fear. Too many people missing to make an impact. But i sincerely do share your hopes.

Fraser picked up player of the month awards in this league and I can guarantee that Aberdeen are the only team up there glad to see him go. If he is fully fit I am sure he will be up to the task. I think you should watch him play before making judgements like that.

It is noted that Arter did not have a good game on Tuesday but when on song he is irriplaceable. Fair enough we have MacDonlad and Hughes, but they are not the same type of player. So a slight formation change will be enforced, therefore possible disrupting our rhythm.

Despite this there will still be some 'empty heads' on here who will be expecting us to travel away to Orient on Saturday and still get a result despite the fact that injury problems have more or less cost us a possible 9 points.

Having both Arter and possibly Grabban missing will compound the problem more. Arter will also be missing for the Doncaster game which will also be lost through people being unavailable.

I believe a couple more loans may well be required.

Naturally of course i do hope i am wrong.

Fair point and a sensible response. I do hope i am wrong about Fraser who I believe to be a good prospect in the future.

What makes you believe Fraser will be a good prospect in the future. You haven't seen him play, unless of course you've been watching him on Youtube. You really do trip yourself up don't you!

I agree with the posters earlier that see the benefit of Arter now suspended for a couple of games. Hopefully people like MacDonald will establish themselves again and we don't see Arter on the field for the remainder of this season. McQuid for me is another who gives little to the team and should be put back on the bench. Can't make my mind up between Chicken and Tubbs, both have their faults. Hoping for a surprise Saturday and 3 points at Orient.

I am afraid that who sent me to Burton will remain with me. I do not have any affinity with the club(s) that I work for. One works for the chief scout whatever club he represents. i.e one is working for the person and not the club.
.
Confidentiality is along the lines of when scouts meet each other at grounds it is deemed most impolite for one scout to ask another why he is there. It is one of two things either looking at oppsition or doing a
player(s) report.
.
Many clubs like to do scouting business without anybody knowing especially where players are involved. So there is a fair degree of confidentiality involved.
.
Regards to you

Dear Nonno

I was waiting for you to post. I would like to pass on to you my sincere heartfelt condolences regarding your Brother's passing.
.
I have been through something similar so I have some idea how you feel.
.
But I suppose that life has an uncanny way of carrying on.

Kindest regards

I am a patient and tolerant man so have never commented on your posts but even I am fed up with your negativity and eagerness to post such comments. Did you go Tuesday? I did and thought we were fantastic for the opening half an hour and should have been two or three up before we let in a break away goal. Think there are tired legs and a little bit of self doubt when we missed chances and conceded. Root of problem is absence of elphick and Daniels but there is enough quality to win Saturday. Arter is a key man but think a two game break will do wonders as he looks tired. Grabban didn't do much Tuesday so not the end of the world. Still confident of a play off spot !

This not negativity my friend - . This is highlighting what is likely to happen when players are missing and at the same time playing strong sides. . Injuries can cost you promotion and can also get you relagated, rather like bad refereeing decisions of which can do the same. . At the moment we have Elphick, Daniels, Pugh, Arter and now possibly Grabban all out of the squad. . So with that said are you suggesting that with these people missing it will not make any difference at all ? . re-read the post and assess it on its merits of what is being said and not look at it in a negative way. . Some people have already managed to answer it sensibly. . Regards

BUT YOU DON'T EVEN GO TO THE CHERRIES MATCHES!!! You were at Burton weren't you Tuesday night? you don't know anything about this team as you never see them play, do not call real fans air-heads because they have faith in their team and are confident of a win, according to you so far this season we should be rock bottom, I have yet to see you predict a positive result!!

And how wouild you know what AFCB games i attend. Th last game i saw was Doncaster awal

Time for some positivity methinks.
1)during our fantastic rise from bottom to top we overcame a massive 19 point deficit over roughly 20 games,i.e approx one point per game give or take.There are still 11 games to go,and given we are four points away from top spot and I reckon that we could still win the league by six points,meaning we could wrap it up against Carlisle rather than a week later.We`ve done it before,no reason why that run can`t be replicated.
2)If we get promoted we will have our first season at championship level for 20 years to firstly celebrate and secondly look forward to.If we should fail to get promoted by not getting into the auto-spots,winning play-offs or even narrowly missing out on the p-off`s then we will probably have one of our most eagerly expectant season for many ,many years(10/11 excepted)What odds from the bookies?
Either way folks ,despite the current despondency affecting some,let`s look to the future and turn our thoughts to August and just think of what the forthcoming season may bring regardless of which league we might be in.

Idiot...you are just a wind up artist.Bottom line is everyone who goes to the games knows what the problem is.Eddie Howe and jason Tindall are,in my opinion working bloody miracles at dean court.I would just like you to be a bit more forward thinking and express abit more passion for the team.Most posters on here do.You do need to get to more games rather than listen to games on solent,whilst travelling around the country scouting for the dorset u8 girl guide team...Regards

Nobody is disputing the job Ed and Jason are doing. . Yes I do attend games, perhaps more than you believe sometimes two or three games in a week. . Some people have already managed to answer my post sensibly and address the issues contained therein. We have severe injury problems of which will impact on us over the few games and could cost us promotion as far as results are concerned. . That is all my posts was trying to put over. Then we encounter twerps like you who cannot answer the thing properly. Regards

Interesting point here for you shminto. When you are dispatched to a game to compile a dossier on a particular team, presumably you are doing this work on behalf of another club, correct. When compiling your report do you tell your employer constantly, that they will struggle to beat the opposition for whatever reason or do you look for negatives in the team you are scouting. The reason i ask is because if it is the latter then that would explain your negative views, as that is what presumably you are paid to do, watch football and look for negatives. Correct.

.A perfectly reasonable and sensible question of which I will answer properly, unlike some of the 'balloon heads' who cannot read and answer my posts properly.
.
The idea of doing a report on potential opposition is firstly report on their formation plus i.e. 4-4-2 etc, any changes to that during the game, noting substitutions and if that effects a change of system.
.
All set pieces are noted ie. who takes them and who is takes up what position the box regarding corners and free kicks.
.
All players heights are noted especially the keeper. The keeper is noted as to what foot he takes his goalkicks with as this could affect the curvature of the ball and where it lands and distance etc.

Perceived strengths and weaknesses are reported on, shape of play etc, i.e weather the fullback and standing up in position or pushing on etc, turns of centre halfs etc, speed of wide players etc.
.
It is also noted if the side has any injuries by checking there previous line-ups etc. and what ares to exploit. I.e noting weather a side has a reserve keeper on the bench or not. There fore the keeper could find himself the centre of attention from incoming forwards etc.
.
The whole object of scouting is to report on what you SEE and not what you THINK. Although we do have an observations column where your personal view can be noted.
.
Regards

Doncaster away?? flippin heck, you haven't seen this team under Howe, you have no idea about these players and what they can do, we are a very different side to the one we were back then!! all your remarks are made from distance based on what you have heard or picked up from others!! The way you post you would think you were there at every training session, I know now not to take anything you say with any credence, there is no substance to it, watching Burton on a Tuesday night doesn't make you an expert on the Cherries!!!
