Mon 12th April

Now following a blank return on Saturday we’re really under pressure to deliver tomorrow.

An away game at Bournemouth isn’t what I’d have chosen to follow Saturday but the league programme isn’t about pick and mix. Indeed if there are wounds from Saturday what better way to deal with them than visit the best home side in the division in a crunch six pointer?

Bournemouth currently have 15 home wins to their name and have only lost once since the Auto Windscreen Nightmare that was Big Jan’s swansong. You can’t really fancy us to win with a home record like theirs but if we keep a clean sheet we won’t lose and they certainly need to beat us more than we need to beat them.

Seven games to go. This is where it begins to get serious.
