Boardroom7 May 2035

Pressure builds in the Bournemouth boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad7 May 2035

A fracture rules Peter Cooper out for 15 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Bournemouth will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad7 May 2035

Salvatore Pezzella keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Bournemouth may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad7 May 2035

12 seasons of Marcus Tavernier

610 appearances across 12 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Bournemouth know what they have.

Market7 May 2035

Only the photograph left for Valentino Albornoz

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Valentino Albornoz will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Bournemouth the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market7 May 2035

Stephen Moore puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bournemouth, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad7 May 2035

Marcus Tavernier in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bournemouth this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market7 May 2035

Lewis Cook wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Bournemouth hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Nobody could get near Cundo

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad30 Apr 2035

Peter Cooper breaks a bone — 23 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 23 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad30 Apr 2035

Amine Adli in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bournemouth this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad30 Apr 2035

Words at Bournemouth training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marcus Tavernier is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match28 Apr 2035

Josh Coburn the difference as Bournemouth beat Leeds United

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Josh Coburn. 3‑1 against Leeds United, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings30 Apr 2035

Ninety minutes of Josh Coburn at his very best

Marked 9.04. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Bournemouth.

Squad30 Apr 2035

Defences have started doubling up on Eli Junior Kroupi

11 goals and a season average of 7.21 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Player ratings30 Apr 2035

Nobody could get near Amine Adli

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings30 Apr 2035

One of those days for Eli Junior Kroupi

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.12, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings30 Apr 2035

Cundo was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.15. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
