Bournemouth 3-0 Bolton

Bournemouth will be without Simon Francis as they look for the win to all but secure Premier League promotion.

The right-back serves a one-match ban for his sending off against Sheffield Wednesday with Adam Smith set to start.

Midfielders Neil Danns and Barry Bannan will be back in the Bolton squad after being left out of their last game for a breach of club discipline.

Josh Vela is out with a groin injury, while Matt Mills could join a lengthy list of absentees with an ankle injury.

Head-to-head

Callum Wilson scored a brace and Yann Kermorgant was sent off as Bournemouth beat Bolton 2-1 in the reverse fixture. Bolton have won on each of their last three visits to Bournemouth, scoring twice in each game.

Bournemouth

No side has dropped more points from leading positions in the top four tiers this season than Bournemouth (28). The Cherries have scored 109 goals in all competitions this season; 12 more than any other Championship club.

Bolton

Adam Le Fondre has scored five times in his last six league matches for Bolton, including in each of the last three. Bournemouth's Kermorgant has scored more match-winning goals this season than any other player in the second tier (10).

Look on the bright side, back in October most of us were expecting to be where Wigan are now....

Worries that two players who improved the team (ALF and Bannan) aren't ours.

How can you give a player like Joe Riley a free transfer
When you have players like those on show tonight.
Yet another blunder by the club.
Blunder after blunder after blunder!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed. Think we all knew the quality that ALF would bring to the side and he has delivered just that, but Bannan has been nothing short of fantastic. I don't mind admitting I was a bit underwhelmed by his signing initially, solid enough loan to cover injuries but nothing more was my assessment. Pleased he has proved to be much more than that. Just hope we can find a way to bring him back next season.

Riley had been blighted by injuries and at the time was nowhere near the first team. He needed to be playing first team football if he was going to continue to develop and more short term loans weren't going to cut it, he needed some stability so he could focus purely on his development without thoughts of where he will be in 2 months constantly in the back of his mind.

In short at the time it was the right decision for all parties. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

When Riley played for the 1st team at Bolton he played well,and after being injured never got another chance in the 1st team .
That's not Hindsight ,

Would imagine what happens with spearing will dictate if Bolton can afford to sign bannon. Can't afford them both. Too much rubbish tied down to long term contracts. Stuck with moxey, trotter, Feeney and dervite. The defence is a shambles without mills who will probably go. Got Clough, vela, pratley and wheater to come back from injury but we need much more. Just no money to spend.

Tonight's was a bit of let down I was hoping to give them a better game before letting their party start.
Here comes the summer stand by for Lancashire leading the way in cricket. If NL can work some magic and improve the core with a settled less injury prone squad playing regularly together we should have the making of a good squad to go the distance next season.
