AFC Bournemouth vs. Hartlepool United

Dean Court

24.09.11

3pm

Preview vs. Hartlepool (h)

The Cherries return to Dean Court this weekend after consecutive away wins have moved them away from the League one relegation places.

Last weekend`s victory, over struggling Exeter, saw Bournemouth move up to 17th as they look ahead to this weekend`s clash against an in form Hartlepool side.

With injuries to numerous first team players Lee Bradbury has drafted in Ipswich winger Jaime Peters on a month`s loan and ex-Plymouth defender Stephane Zubar until the end of the season.

Our visitors make the arduous trip south currently lying in 5th place having comfortably swept aside Bury last weekend.

AFC Bournemouth Team News:

The Cherries will be without Mark Molesley, Shaun McDonald and Nathan Byrne for this weekend`s clash and the influential Adam Barratt and Harry Arter will be monitored closely before a decision is made on their fitness ahead of Saturday`s game.

Player to watch: Wes Thomas

After netting in both of the sides away wins over the last 10 days Thomas will be looking to net his first goal in front of the home faithful. His touch, work rate and pace have earned him rave reviews off fans and will be looking to kick on, on home turf.

Hartlepool United Team News:

Keeper Scott Flinders will be in between the sticks for Mick Wadsworth`s men this weekend, Flinders shot to fame after netting a stoppage time equaliser in our last fixture against them in April. Nolberto Solano of Newcastle fame will also start for the visitors.

Player to watch: Nolberto Solano

The vastly experienced winger will be the away side`s main threat this weekend. He has been in superb form for Pools this season and has instantly become a fans favourite amongst their supporters.
