August
August started with the draw for the League Cup 2nd round where we were drew away to Barnet.
Bournemouth 1-0 Manchester City Premier League
Unbelieveable I was literally on the edge of my seat throughout this game we were 0-0 up until the 36th minute when Taarabt was sent off for his 2nd bookable offence. I dropped Samaras to LM leaving Santa Cruz as a lone striker playing 4-4-1 and it paid off. We got a penalty which Samaras converted and managed to hold on to a huge priceless win.
Barnet 2-2 Bournemouth League cup 2nd round
Won 1-3 on penalties
I decided to hand a lot of debuts out for this game and played a few of my back up players. We were 1-1 at 90 mins and scored to make it 2-1 in the 1st half of extra time. Barnets late equaliser forced penalties and my players stepped up to the mark sending us into round 3.
Bournemouth 2-2 Sunderland Premier League
We went in at half time 1-0 down without a single shot on target so after a team talk and a change of tactics we came out all guns blazing. We went on to score 2 and take the league but eventually conceded in the 79th minute but held on to claim a point.
The draw for the League Cup 3rd round draws us at home to Barnsley.
