Re: Bournemouth v Burnley MATCH THREAD
Berge and Rodriguez on, for me. Having seen the appearances that Rodriguez has made this year you are better bringing on someone like Larsen or Redmond instead of him, as he will offer very little and keep Andouini on. Time for one of our players to step up-it was happening on a regular basis last ...

Re: Bournemouth v Burnley MATCH THREAD
