Bournemouth have signed Robbie Brady on a free.

Sort of Brooks replacement I guess. Will be interested to see how he does as I thought he was a free that we may consider with this system.

Should do ok in the EFL. Still under 30. A useful signing for them

Brady is a total crock and has been for a while. The sort of signing that if we had made it people would be losing their minds. If he stays fit though he will do a job for them.

Put on Stoke vs Cherries hoping for a good game but a damp squib really. 0-0 HT

Stoke keeper spills it, easy tap in for Solanke 1-0 Bournemouth

F T 1-0, Cherries win.

6 points difference because of Stoke games.

To be honest Bournemouth were as boring as we have been at times this season tonight too
Stoke were just worse

We have to "up" our game.
Nottingham Forest have the same number of wins (5) and draws (1) from the recent 6 games.
They are 12th at the moment.

Forest on a hell of a run. There next game is fulham. Who after cardiff have forest then us. Nasty little run.

Bournemouth look ok but nothing special but they have been consistent. Just about winning our games and seeing where we are come jan and strengthen in window

Steve Cooper turning things around quickly at Forest it seems. Good manager.

Blades lost again. Us, Bournemouth and Fulham still far and away the best 3 teams in the EFL. Stoke no great shakes after the last 2 games.

Us 3 being the best teams on paper doesn't guarantee promotion of course. Need to find a quality striker in January and we should be ok though.

Powell off early sue to injury, GK with a proper howler = defeat for Stoke

The run / turnaround was actually started by Steven Reid. Still canâ€™t quite understand how Hughton was doing so poorly. Thereâ€™s no doubt Steve Cooper has got off to a great start though, even if he has had a favourable run of fixtures. He was my 1st choice for the job here.

Theyâ€™ll drop some points in their next few but I Fancy forest to get to the play offs.

I didn't expect a Scott Parker managed side to do so well. I see him as an ordinary manager who has fell into favourable jobs, but this is a remarkable run for Bournemouth.

I get the feeling that it has all been pretty easy for him....

so I am interested to see, after a couple of bad result (which I am sure will come at some point), if he can get them back up and firing again....

My gut feeling is... no he won't...

Yes true, credit to Reid, i mentioned on here he got them a win in his first game but it feels longer than 5/6 games ago!

I wouldn't have minded Cooper here at all either.

If we go up ( and Stoke don't) and say we've got no money again i'd take Powell on a free at end of season.

Cherries winning 1-0 early on
