Where are AFCB's scoring boots?
The lack of goals for AFCB continues with another blank sheet away at Wolves. Two games and no goals is not what Bournemouth needed at this moment, and while it would be understandable if the shooting was just being stopped by good saves, Bournemouth have only managed one shot on target in their last two games. How is this going to get them out of the relegation zone?
AFCB are running out of chancesMatters have arguably been made worse by the two game ban for Callum Wilson which means a new striker will lead the line in the next two games. It is expected that Howe will rush back Josh King, as Dominic Solanke hasn't shown any ability to score in games. Josh has always wanted to play as the main striker and Bournemouth need him to be goal hungry now.

The problem has been that Bournemouth have played in front of defences and haven't been able to get around the back. When they have got down the sides, the crossing has been poor or indifferent, so Wilson has had nothing to feed off. David Brooks showed how it should be done early in the match against Wolves getting to the byline and making a drag back but the team seemed to be unable to do that again in the rest of the 90 minutes.

Eddie Had a Dream -now just 9.99!Bournemouth are crying out for good delivery which is why I can't understand why Rico is not getting a game, although I was impressed with Lloyd Kelly's few minutes against Wolves. Everything seems ramshackle and last minute and preparations are perhaps not at their best if the team are unable to get good supply to forwards and no shots are resulting.

The situation can't continue if Bournemouth have any hopes of winning a game. Every time I look at a baffled Eddie Howe I wonder, does he actually have the answers? Have the players stopped listening? Do the players want to improve? Have they already lost heart?

This is a fan’s personal view of AFC Bournemouth from the outside looking in. It reports on the daily official activities reported by the club and comments made by individual fans on social media and fanbase websites. Life as an AFCB fan is never dull. As a life-long supporter of the Cherries, it is the friendliness of the staff, fans and my enthusiasm for the club that inspired me to write this blog. https://afcbchimes.blogspot.com/
