Symes was an idiot yesterday but he isn't normally like that. Really don't know what got into him.
I don't believe he deliberately went to kick Casper but he did leave his foot in and should have been cautioned for it. AS I said yesterday he should have walked. No-one on the AFCB message board...

Looks like you got...
Depends who it is.
Lee Bradbury played RB for most of the last 2 seasons, but Lua Lua would have him on toast for sure. :facepalm:
Purches is a natural RB but he has been injured, and only started training this week. He would struggle as well in all likelihood.
The other candidate is central...
Bournemouth fan in peace.
Not sure what to expect today. Our away form is better than it looks, the only poor performances were last week at Southampton and 1st half v Charlton first game of the season.
We have had a habit of bouncing back well after poor games under Eddie Howe. We'll see, but...
