Match

The run at home goes on for Bournemouth

22 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Squad

A falling-out at Bournemouth

Marcus Tavernier and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Bournemouth may not be able to give James Hill what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. James Hill wants continental football; whether Bournemouth can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Market

John Murphy steps up from the Bournemouth academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. John Murphy has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Bournemouth promote Joseph Dixon from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Joseph Dixon has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Bournemouth promote Harry Hill from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Harry Hill has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Match

Luis Vázquez the difference as Bournemouth beat Luton Town

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Luis Vázquez. 1‑0 against Luton Town, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Alex Scott reaches 200 appearances

200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

The dugout

Julio Soler gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief

  • The dugout Joe Gauci knocks on the manager's door
  • Squad A ban for Tyler Adams
