Finally the international break is over and we can return to
the exciting world of the Championship.
The Cherries face an undefeated Charlton Athletic, at the
Goldsands stadium and will be looking to kick on after the victory away to
Bolton before the break.
The Addicks visit the south coast still undefeated and
sitting in seventh, after winning four and drawing seven matches so far in the league.
Unfortunately for the Cherries former Charlton striker Yann Kermorgant
will be unavailable as he starts his three match ban after his dismissal in the
last match.
This gives Eddie Howe a selection headache as he has preferred
starting two strikers when playing at home.
It will be interesting to see who comes in over the next
three matches; this could be the perfect chance for forwards Brett Pitman and Tokelo
Rantie to stake their claim for a starting position.
I am also keen to see Dan Gosling get a chance to start in
the Championship; the Charlton game could be the perfect platform for him to
start in behind Callum Wilson.
I know that a lot of fans will not want the Cherries to play
five in midfield at home, but I think Gosling could work well in that position
and let’s face it he has an eye for goal.
Gosling has been in good form when called upon in the league cup and think he deserves his chance in the first team.
The matches come thick and fast over the next couple of
weeks so Howe will need to work out his striking options quickly, fortunately
we do have some good options and flexibility within the squad.
Let’s hope we can get a win to take into the Reading match
on Tuesday night.
Essential prediction. Cherries 2 Charlton 1 (Same as last
season)
