Back of the Net - The AFC Bournemouth Podcast

76 - A Learning Curve

Listen on

Episode notes

Cherries went down 2-1 at home to Arsenal in the Cup on Monday night, evidently with half an eye on the more substantial “cup tie” at the weekend against Aston Villa in the Premier League. Six changes were made and it was a below par AFC Bournemouth who somehow flattered themselves by producing a scoreline which, to the naked eye, suggests the contest was closer than it was.

Eddie will see the two most recent games as a learning curve, where we need to take the best out of the Brighton performance, leaving the worst of the Arsenal game behind, and in this podcast we cover both of our latest home fixtures in league and cup, with Neil Dawson covering the scenes against the Seagulls, and Jeff Hayward getting involved for the Gunners game.

As well the comprehensive match chats, we also take in some of your thoughts from both games too, whilst including some rather raw match audio which contains the odd F bomb - the excitement of seeing Callum score was just way too much!

Along with the usual Do You Remember trivia, we also preview the Aston Villa game on Saturday, where home fans will be hoping for and expecting nothing less than a win, in a crucial fixture which could once again be season-defining!

Shoehorned into this bumper hour long pod is a chat with Scott Charlton and Dave Fitzgerald from Lashings, who are running a unique AFCB themed event on April 2nd 2020 at the Village Hotel in Bournemouth -  featuring stars of Cherries past including Luther Blissett, Paul Morrell, and Steve Jones - who are all going to be sharing THEIR stories of their careers in football, especially at Bournemouth - as well as giving their thoughts on the latest goings on at Dean Court.
