AFCB XI against Bristol City – Who will Tindall turn to?

Written by preston south end

I would prefer for AFC Bournemouth manager Jason Tindall to not to chop and change things every game if possible.

For me, it’s only fair for Lloyd Kelly to keep his place in the back three, particularly as he has only played one game, and needs more to get up to speed.

Give Diego Rico another run out at Left Wing Back. He has to be better than Adam Smith in that position. Too soon to abandon the experiment after one game, however, good Rico is in a back three.

Jefferson Lerma shouldn’t play as his indicators (whatever they are?) suggest he needs a rest, so no point risking him further aggravating his hamstring.

I would play Arnaut Danjuma instead of David Brooks as, like Kelly, he has only come back into the side for one game.

Brooks and Junior Stanislas to come on to change the game when needed. Brooks to ease back into contention instead of playing from the start, and Stan not robust enough for ninety minutes.

Dominic Solanke’s work rate, link-up play, finishing etc, although a long way from perfect, means he makes it into my starting eleven.

So I think that means:

Begovic

Mepham
S Cook
Kelly

Stacey
Gosling
L Cook
Danjuma
Rico

Solanke
King

Despite their form, I’d revert to the three up front for this one. Especially if Lerma is unavailable.

I’d also continue with the Rico in the left wing-back role but be prepared to change it early if it continues to look ineffective.

Solanke to lead the line after his excellent performance from the bench against Watford. Brooks hopefully available to make an impact in a cameo if needed.

Begovic

Mepham
Cook
Kelly

Smith
L Cook
Gosling
Rico

Danjuma
Solanke
Stanislas

Subs:
King
Brooks
Riquelme
Billing
Smith
Simpson
Travers
