Injuries a worry for Bond
Kevin Bond
Kevin Bond

MANAGER Kevin Bond is waiting on the availability of a number of key players as Cherries go in search of their first league win of the season tomorrow.

Bond potentially has problems in defence, with Jason Pearce, Ryan Garry and Joel Ward all sitting out training yesterday.

Midfield dynamo Marvin Bartley sustained an injury during the Canford School session and is now also doubtful ahead of Exeter City's visit to Dean Court.

With transfer-listed Jo Kuffour (flu) also absent from training, Bond could need to supplement his squad with youth-team players.

"Joel Ward is going to be struggling for the weekend," said Bond.

"Pearcey I'm hoping will train with us today, I'm hoping Ryan Garry will also train with us today.

"Marvin Bartley had a hernia operation before Christmas and he felt it yesterday, so he walked in from training in the early part of the warm-up.

"I haven't had chance to speak to the physio about that one so I don't know the extent, but that was really disappointing for us because he's given us lots of energy."

On a positive note, hard-working midfielder Danny Hollands made a welcome return to training this week.

The former Chelsea reserve team skipper, who was a star performer for Cherries last term, had been expecting to return to action in mid-September after undergoing knee surgery.

Despite only having made his first footsteps on the comeback trail, Hollands already seems to be well ahead of schedule, but it is thought he won't feature tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Exeter seem to have none of Cherries' injury worries, with tomorrow's visitors to Dean Court likely to name an unchanged line-up.

Veteran forward Marcus Stewart is set to feature in what is likely to be a 4-3-3 formation.

Bond is not expecting an easy ride against the newly-promoted Grecians, but he emphasised the need to make home advantage count.

He added: "They're a good footballing side and have got a lot of belief in their team.

"Like we found last week against Aldershot, the sides who come up have got a lot going for them. They work really, really hard and are a good side, and I think they will be a good side this season.

"It will be a hard game for us but we're at home and have to win our home games."

Cherries: (from) Jalal, Ward, Pearce, Guyett, Cummings, Cooper, Bartley, Anderton, Igoe, Bradbury, Kuffour, Pitman, Pettefer, Wagstaff, Sappleton, McQuoid, Partington, Webb, Hutchings, Pryce.

Exeter City: (from) Jones, Tully, Taylor, Seaborne, Friend, Edwards, Gill, Harley, Stewart, Logan, Stansfield, Marriott, Moxey, Panther, McAllister, Basham.

Bond you chose these players now you go out and get that win, let's not have another season of excuses a day before the game, if you can't buy any players then make those you have do the job, we need that win Saturday otherwise there will be a sharp downturn in mood, there a still a small number who are getting on your back but if we lose Saturday that could open up the flood gates, so have faith in the youngsters they did it last season.

I am sure I read this same article at this stage of last season but with a few slight name changes. What goes on at AFCB? Now Marvin out? On the other hand Exeter have no injury worries and field an unchanged side!

Can you spell is more appropriate. Judging by all your posts there is only one person who needs to go to 'Special Needs' classes and that is you!!

By the way is your name Malcolm and you just got confused (AGAIN) with the spelling??

Bond is already making excuses because he and the new owners are cra**ing their pants.
They have no money to spend on new players that will ensure our Football League status and can't afford to get rid of a crap manager. (by the way it was the lads on the field and not Bond who almost pulled this club out of relegation trouble last season. Bond actually got us into the mess in the 1st place).

Baker is crying crocodile tears over Kuffour going. It saves a huge amount on the wage bill and he gets a bit more cash to keep the club afloat.

I am sure they have already prepared the "we will come back from the Blue Square a stronger club statement"

As a fan this is unacceptable and I pray that there is someone with "real money" to invest into this club and ensure a continued league status.

Serious questions have to be asked at the Supporters meeting on Aug 26.

Before anyone says anything this was not me in disguiose even though its virtually identical to what I put on here this time last season about Good Old Jeff

It's all just a little bit of history repeating is it not Kevvo I remember what we were saying last year and we got some serious grief for it now though it would appear others are saying similar this year, why are they getting away with it? I will always support the team I have never been a fan of Bond but some of what is being posted is a bit OTT for the first week of the season and only 2 weeks after getting the share back, we have no reason yet to mistrust the new owners so I will see what happens in the next week however if they get it wrong then I see trouble ahead it's on a knife edge for us at the moment, could go either way.

Trouble is Kevvo with this lot in charge we will go down.

See your point Macca but if the new owners had the money they would have put it in before now and invested into the playing and coaching staff to ensure we can get out of the hole. That is why the football league wouldn't give the share back until they did, as they were not convinced about the business plan and the financial stability of the new owners.

I don't want my club's league status and survival hanging on a thread and depending on a 20/20 cricket match and a few dodgy commercial deals.

If you think this lot and Bondy can save us with the current 15pt deficit, dream on mate. The sooner people realise this then something can at least be done about it.

We have had 2 years of something can be done about and yet here we still are, accept it this is what we have and this is the way forward, I understand you want the investment in players etc but it was only 2 weeks ago we knew the club was going to start the season, you could not expect any players being purchased before then it wasn't possible, I am therefore saying we have to see where we are on the 1st of September I still feel they are not being given a chance, the time scale is too short, too much of we want this now attitude, it doesn't happen like that. If they let us down and things do not go as we have been told then by all means have a go but at least give them a fair chance first.

How can you say the players can take the credit for us winning towards the end of the season, but say they are not at fault for us when we lose, its riduculous! Also how can a manager just stating the facts re injuries, which to be fair are quite concerning given they are nearly all defenders, be making excuses??!!

There are far worse teams in this league than us, don't be so quick to write off the team you say you support, why are you so against the new owners, they have had the club for 2 weeks and have done nothing to warrant this kind of comment, things are tough but we knew that before they took over so how come it's their fault, you are always looking for someone to blame, they gave us this season can't that be a good thing? it seems some of you wont be happy until the club is gone, come on let's give them a chance to put their plans in place you can't really be saying after 2 weeks they are at fault for the team and the 2 draws, it just doesn't add up.

Macca I haven't blamed the players for not getting the early wins that are crucial for survival when you start at -17pts. They are a great bunch of lads who need to be encouraged. We have owners that have been in place for 9+ weeks so it doesn't start with getting the league share back timescale argument. If you have the money you "pre-plan" they haven't got the money so we are in this situation (yet again) The last thing this club needed were "bullsh**ers" telling us everything would be OK and then not bing able to deliver what has been promissed. We have a manager who couldn't buy a win if you gave him £1m quid. So let's make pre-match excuses (as we have no idea tactically) by saying we have most of our defenders doubtful for the game. What are you telling your opposition for starters, I'm sure Exeter are rubbing their hands and looking forward to 3 away pts. Bond has already beaten his own team by bleating about the injuries. He has to shut up and grt on with the job or get out. Oh sorry, the new owners can't afford to get rid of him.
Posted by: macca02, Farpoint on 3:13pm Fri 22 Aug 08
no it started with the new owners keeping the club going, and I did not say anything about you blaming the players, I have issue with your claims about the finances and the new owners, where are your facts to back this up, you think calling the bull$£"^%s is really going to help, and the first several weeks was about getting the club out of administration, I suppose your one of those who thought some mystery man with millions to throw around was waiting in the wings funny how that never happened, and I suppose you think that someone is waiting to take over again do you, well I would like to see facts to back up those ideas. The only truth I have seen is that these new owners saved us from oblivion gave us this season and are trying to bring in players to a club starting -17 points adrift at the bottom of league 2, I would love to know who you think could be doing a better job, as for Bond he can't buy a win you say, he can't buy a defeat either then can he, he has put together a team on the most limited of resources in the most limited of time scales and you expect it all to click from the first kick of the season, I respect a view point if it is balanced but yours just looks like a personal attack on everyone at the club, I said it before give them a chance if then things have not improved then fine but to expect it to be all roses and win after win so soon is asking way too much.

What are you on about, why can't you debate this without some stupid comment like this, I thought we were discussing what is going on, if you can back up your argument I will gladly take it on board but I do not see why we should any of us start on at the new owners after such a short time and after them giving us a season we didn't think we would have, there is no need for stupid comments and why would a new name now appear, that suggests to me that you are using a different name, is that the case? if you wan to debate this that's fine but if it's going to start getting stupid with these kinds of comments I will not bother.

I think all AFCB supporters just want to start seeing progress both on and off the field, were all aware that the new owners havn't got bags of money to through at some of the issues that need addressing but for as long as I can remember whether it be former chairman or directors they are all full of promises but never deliver and have all seemed to be out to line there own pockets without the best interests of the club at heart. This Club has been dragged down for far to long and I just think the time has now come for us to start seeing progress from both a business and football point of view.

Give em a chance!!!!!
I am amazed just how quickly people are turning on the club already, 2 weeks ago we got the news we would start the season and already it's we need to see this and that they haven't delivered, there has been years of mismanagement of this club so why expect all these expensive changes now, surely you want the club to survive and not spend beyond it's means, that's what got us in the mess in the first place, I cannot believe fans turning on the new owners after one week of the season, no league defeats either. We had a good crowd for our first home game and there was a buzz, so what has changed? I would suggest posting on the many cherries forums with these comments I think you will find you are in a very small minority.

Macca, not trying to wind you up mate (although if I had been trying I think I've done a good job). Seriously thoough don't go into bat for these guys, because as the weeks / games go by you will look increasingly silly.
Posted by: ClintW, Bournemouth on 3:45pm Fri 22 Aug 08
To be fair I agree with you the fact that they've only been at the helm a few weeks and we can't expect miracle's but i'm really not talking about them throwing money at anything, i'm not really criticising them i'm just stating that we need to see progress. get the afcb website up to date for a start, lets get the little things sorted out, I still havn't seen any cherries shirts in a JD sports shop yet?? All these things don't need money just organisation and a desire to get on with things and move the club forward.

There you go again, at what point have you answered my questions or put facts behind your argument? I said it before if you can show me what you say is 100% correct then I will be happy to accept it, but you chose to suggest I was either the new owner or working for them or I should not bat for them, I said we need to give them a chance, not that I think they are the best owners in the world or that they are going to turn us into world beaters, but to stick the knife in after 2 league games is too much, I said let's see where we are on Sept 1st, didn't I, so enough with the wind ups and answer the questions.

I would say going from not having the share to having the share and starting the season was progress, this season we need to survive and then we can look at progress, there is too much of this we want it all now attitude, we are and have been for a long time a small club with very little that is a hard place to turn things around from in 2 weeks, given time it may happen but how are we to know that if people are calling for their heads this early it just doesn't make any sense and for one thing would put off any other prospective owner.

Sorry Macca, I have missed the point completely, Sorry I forgaot that I have to answer you with a 100% justification of my views. By the way what's going to happen by Sept 1? (home to Exeter, away to Port Vale) Sorry forgot there is a 20/20 cricket game in between (who's playing???) Knowbody else answer that as Macca is having a busy time covering posts from myself and ClintW at the moment, but oh, we are in the minority (aren't we???)

This is our football club, sport 6 I think have a responsibility and a duty to look after our football club and move it forward, I don't know one person that has called for there head? I think we all appreciate the fact they have saved us from extiction but now they've done that they have taken on responsibility of ensuring they take our football club forward. And as an keen supporter I to be honest over the course of the last two weeks have not heard a dicky bird of positive news coming out the football club? Now Jo is on his way lets use this as a chance to bring in a big name to inspire and capture the supporters imagination, and show intent on there behalf of where they want to take this football club.

Sorry Macca, I have missed the point completely, Sorry I forgaot that I have to answer you with a 100% justification of my views. By the way what's going to happen by Sept 1? (home to Exeter, away to Port Vale) Sorry forgot there is a 20/20 cricket game in between (who's playing???) Knowbody else answer that as Macca is having a busy time covering posts from myself and ClintW at the moment, but oh, we are in the minority (aren't we???)
Get angry are you not, why shouldn't you give a good reason for your point of view you are making claims about other people and they are comments that should be justified yes!!! Sept 1st is the end of the transfer window, can't believe that passed you by, time to calm yourself down, looks like I have hit the nerve with you with these replies, if you can't answer the question then how do you justify the comment, you posted comments saying I was one of the owners etc and you have the nerve to have a go at me for asking you to quantify your argument, you can't can you!!!!

Have you not read AFCB the only what's? posts? he is not a big fan of the new owners and wants them gone and replaced so someone is calling for their heads, all I ask is we give them until the end of the transfer window to see what they do, hardly too much to ask is it?

Why did you have to turn this into something personal, I asked you sensible questions about your post and you then started the personal stuff why? surely we can have a discussion without that?

Macca, I'm not getting personal. I (and many others)happen to be concerned enough to voice our opinions about the current financial and league position that our club finds it's self in. It's nothing personal. You happen to disagree, that's fine.

You say not personal, then why the comments about being the owner etc the I don't have to justify myself to you, the comment to ClintW, if that's not getting personal then what is? one other thing I am all for us having an opinion but you are making claims about the owners that's more than an opinion, I asked to to support your argument and that's when you ducked the issue and started the personal stuff why?

Well said ClintW. Come on Macca we all want the best for the club, we just have different opinions, or different ways of looking at the problems.

Then why keep posting the stupid comments about me being an owner or a spokesperson or the party line, think it's clever do you?

Because you are so defensive over the new owners. You try and shoot down any opinion that is even semi critical, you can't try and control chat forums like that.

Yet again you are wrong, I asked you to back up your argument and you can't this shows up how weak the argument is and you don't like that so you resort to personal attacks on me to distract from the original argument, nice try but I wont give up that easily. If you find it so irritating then all you have to do is stop replying but I know you wont lol. I have no problem with anyones opinion infact I agree with many who are critical of the new owners and good luck to them I have a few things I want from them, but you still don't back up your claims and you still try and turn the argument on me, always the same no answer and attempts to make it out that I am the one who is the aggressor, so come on if you answer the original question I can go on my merry way happy that there is facts to back up your claims, I have laid down the challenge to you, come up with those facts it's nothing to do with opinion I respect yours 100% I just want those facts please.

Macca, OK just one last question from me on this point and then I'll let you have the last post.

How do you you define the differences between someones argument and someones opinion?

Because to me you are just trying to pigeon hole my opinions as arguments.

I'm interested. Then I won't reply again on this subject and I'll let you get the last say (obviously that's important to you).

There you go again with the insults, you keep telling me you have finished on each subject but every time I have another look you give another post with a personal dig at me, and you say you don't do it priceless, if you answered my original post like I asked then I would have no need to keep asking the same question, its a very old trick using the old answer a question with a question ploy, I suppose we will never get that answer, oh well I tried, over to you I know you can't resist lol.
