    Long way to go in the game, but BBing this week with Tav and Dub feels so good. If Kroupi goes and gets something...

      do you think Hill is helping Bournemouth's defence become just that little bit more solid again?

      also frustrating to see Rice was upped to 11 defcon late on in the GW 😥
