AFC Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic versus L'Aston Villa Pre Match Thread.

[CJ]

I've got a lot of respect for their manager and how far they've come in the last 5 or 6 years, and they were a hard nut to crack in January, albeit with us under the guidance of TSM2. Would prefer to have played them a bit later in the season as they'll try to get off to a flying start in what I think will be a long season for them. 2-2 draw

[paul_e]

3-2 win with their 2nd coming fairly late and making the match thread a very nervous place for a few minutes.

[KRS]

They've also got 7 or 8 players to gel in to their team so I can see this one being a bit messy. I'd settle for a draw but there should be a gulf in class once the passion and excitement of their first home PL calms down a bit. Need to make sure we don't concede early.

I am going for 3-2 away win

[Ozzjim]

2-1 to them. Simply through being more well drilled as a team but some encouraging displays from out lads and a Gestede header.

[Quiet Lion]

The last four years have conditioned me to look at a game like this as a certain loss.

2-0 Them

[Small Rodent]

0-0

[in exile]

1-2 Villa

What an absolute potato skin this is, at least it's not live on TV.
Having said that I think we will win 3-2 in an end to end belter.

You sure it's not a hot banana?😉

Otherwise I'll take mine with a source cream and chive dip thanks.

[Matt Collins]

Really think we'll lost this one. We're short of match fit attackers and this isn't the time to be going to a newly promoted team. Especially with our defence

Still excited for the season but can envisage a sticky start

Prove me wrong villa

[UK Redsox]

Who's going ? Number off,from the left........

Can't make it which is a shame as I'm down on South Coast for couple weeks on and off

[walsall villain]

Always tricky being first up to a promoted team. Going for a 2-2.

It's on live TV out here. Saturday will be quite ace. Watch the early kick off then the Villa game 10am.
