Bournemouth just put 8 past Blues. Suddenly this feels like one mighty banana-skin!

They have something called pace up front Vic  

We have pace but never use the players.

Pace can make a difference, wish someone would tell AI  

Tbf the only pace we had on the bench today was Gamboa (maybe Ideye but haven't seen enough of him), Blanco is a different type of midfielder to Gardner/Dorrans/Morrison but isn't a speed demon.

I think we HAVE to start Ideye against Bournemouth, Gamboa and Mulumbu should both come in as both imo are in our "best XI", Blanco could do with more minutes as well as we haven't seen much of him either.

It looks like Varela won't be ready in time though which is a real shame, he is our one out-and-out winger with pace, trickery and flair and he IS the guy we have been screaming out for over the past 2 seasons.
