POSITION: Central midfielder 

JOINED: October 2017 

DID YOU 

KNOW? 

AFC Bournemouth were our opponents 

when midfielder Tyreeq Bakinson scored 

his first Ashton Gate goal. His looping 

header opened the scoring last March 

in a fixture the Cherries went on to win 

2-1 behind closed doors (pictured). 

That was Bakinson’s second of four 

goals for the season in a 2020/21 

campaign where he began to cement 

his place around the first team. 

He spent the previous two seasons on 

loan at Plymouth Argyle and Newport 

County, having made his professional 

debut coming off the bench for City 

in a 4-1 win over Crystal Palace in the 

2017/18 Carabao Cup run.

W 

elcome back 

to Ashton Gate 

after the second 

international 

break of 

the season. What lies ahead of us is a great 

opportunity to build on our form from the last few 

weeks and continue in a positive mindset. 

Curtis’ thoughts in that Peterborough posed us a 

lot of questions but we answered them and proved 

what we are about by scoring three goals ourselves. 

I was also pleased for George Tanner who scored 

his first goal for the club in the 3-2 win; I know he 

was delighted after the start he has made since 

joining us at the end of August. 

Thank you very much 

for your messages 

of support and 

well-wishes whilst I 

was recovering from 

Covid-19. 

I missed my 

matchday 

responsibilities 

against Millwall and 

Peterborough United 

while self-isolating at 

home, which meant I 

watched our last two 

games via Robins TV. 

I still kept in contact 

with the staff and 

everything was in 

good hands. 

Curtis Fleming and rest of the staff did a wonderful 

job in my absence, and I thank him for stepping 

in. Preparations have continued as normal for this 

next fixture against AFC Bournemouth and it has 

been great to return to work, get back to familiar 

surroundings at the Robins High Performance 

Centre and focus on the job at hand. 

IT’S A BIG TEST 

AGAINST A 

SIDE WHO ARE 

UNBEATEN IN THE 

CHAMPIONSHIP... 

BUT WE HAVE A 

TEAM WHO HAVE 

BELIEF THEY CAN 

COMPETE WITH 

ANYONE. 

I would like to 

welcome Scott Parker, 

his staff, players and 

AFC Bournemouth 

fans to Ashton Gate 

today, who I am sure 

are expecting a tough 

game. 

I was back at the 

RHPC on Tuesday 

looking ahead to this 

next fixture. It’s a big 

test against a side who 

are unbeaten in the 

Championship. They 

are in great form at 

the top of the table but 

they will know about 

our threats and we 

have a team of players 

who have belief they can compete with anyone. 

I want us to play with energy and hopefully that will 

be replicated from our supporters in the stands. I 

am told this is going to be our biggest home crowd 

of the season so far, so I can’t wait to see and hear 

you out there. Enjoy the game! 

Last time out against Peterborough we had to 

defend well but we saw quality in both boxes which 

Curtis had demanded heading into the game. I echo 

Cheers,

KEY PLAYER 

9DOMINIC 

SOLANKE 

The 24-year-old striker has eight 

goals in all competitions so far 

this season, consistently finding 

the back of the net from his 12 

appearances to date. 

The Reading-born forward is also 

the fifth highest goalscorer in 

the Championship with a total of 

seven league goals to his team’s 

tally of 18 in the second tier – a 

39% contribution rate – as well 

as boasting 3.1 shots per game, 

ranking him as the fourth highest in 

the division. 

Capped at all levels by England, 

he joined the Cherries in January 

2019 in a £17million transfer from 

Liverpool, who had signed the 

forward from Chelsea’s Academy. 

While with the Blues, Solanke had 

spent the 2015/16 season on loan 

at Vitesse Arnhem. 


DID YOU 

KNOW? 

Defender Brennan Camp, 21, is the grandson of the late City 

legend Gerry Gow. Camp joined the Cherries’ youth ranks in 

2007 and captained his age group to the quarter-final of the FA 

Youth Cup – the club’s best run in the competition for 50 years. 

THE CHERRIES ENTERED THE 

INTERNATIONAL BREAK ON TOP OF 

THE CHAMPIONSHIP TABLE THANKS 

TO A 2-1 WIN OVER SHEFFIELD 

UNITED A FORTNIGHT AGO. 

Battling back from a goal down, 

courtesy of two goals in three 

second-half minutes from 

Dominic Solanke’s penalty and 

Philip Billing, they reclaimed 

pole position after secondplaced 

West Bromwich Albion 

lost at Stoke CIty. 

Scott Parker’s men are the 

only unbeaten side in the 

Championship, and were three 

points clear prior to the Baggies' 

Friday night derby encounter 

with Birmingham City. 

So far, the Cherries have 

won seven and drawn four in 

the league, but did exit the 

Carabao Cup in a 6-0 round 

two defeat to Norwich City. 

Brennan Camp, grandson 

of Gerry Gow, made his 

Bournemouth debut in that 

encounter and, while the young 

Scottish defender was on the 

bench four times in August, 

he has yet to feature in the 

Championship. 

Head Coach Parker – who left 

Fulham by mutual consent in 

June following the Cottagers' 

relegation from the Premier 

Former Arsenal Academy winger Jaidon Anthony in action with 

Peterborough United's Harrison Burrows during last month's goalless draw 

League – may well be reluctant 

to change his early success 

formula. It’s been quite the start 

for the former West Ham and 

England midfielder who signed 

a three-year deal in the summer, 

following the departure of 

Jonathan Woodgate. 

Upon Parker’s appointment, 

he welcomed experienced 

signings in Emiliano Marcondes 

(from Brentford), Ørjan Nyland 

(Norwich City), Gary Cahill 

(Crystal Palace), Ryan Christie 

(Celtic), Jamal Lowe (Swansea 

City), while Leif Davis and 

Morgan Rogers have been 

signed on loan from Leeds 

United and Manchester City, 

respectively. 

A whole host of players also 

departed over the course of the 

summer transfer window, the 

most notable including Asmir 

Begović, Diego Rico, Arnaut 

Danjuma and Jack Wilshere.

BACK IN

September began with a 

goalless draw at home to 

Preston North End, before 

we saw victory snatched 

away at the death when 

Luton Town visited Ashton 

Gate. 

Nathan Baker rose to meet 

Jay Dasilva’s cross which 

put us on course for a first 

home win since January, 

but it wasn’t to be as Danny 

Hylton tapped in from close 

range late on. 

Victory, however, came away 

at Queens Park Rangers 

thanks to Nahki Wells’ late 

strike against his former 

side, as we recorded a third 

consecutive away win! 

A home 1-1 draw against 

Fulham was followed up 

by defeat at the Den where 

Millwall snuck a narrow 

1-0 win courtesy of Jed 

Wallace’s penalty to cruelly 

prevent an unbeaten month 

for the Robins.

INTERVIEW 

FROM ACADEMY FOOTBALL TO 

A FIRST-TEAM BREAKTHROUGH, 

TEENAGE MIDFIELDER ALEX SCOTT 

REFLECTS ON A “CRAZY” 2021. 

GREAT 

SCOTT 

" 

It was definitely 

a surprise to 

start the first 

game of the season against 

Blackpool” Alex Scott tells 

THE ROB NS, however there is 

nothing surprising about the 

rise of City’s young starlet. 

The midfielder, who is still just 

18, was scouted while playing 

for Guernsey FC and his signing 

announcement was confirmed 

in late 2019, prior to the official 

switch at the turn of 2020. 

Scott joined the Under-18s 

setup before a move to the 

Under-23s side, who went on to 

finish top of the Professional 

Development League South 

division last season. 

Injuries to the first team last 

season meant Nigel Pearson 

would look at his Under-23s 

options and Scott got the nod 

away to Swansea City, albeit he 

was an unused substitute. 

He waited patiently for his 

opportunity, returning to the 

matchday squad away to 

Coventry City before his first 

taste off the bench at home to 

Luton Town. 

He was part of Pearson’s plans 

as the City manager reshaped 

his squad in the summer and 

Scott found himself in the 

starting XI on matchday one at 

home to Blackpool. 

“I had wanted first-team football, 

I had that taster towards the 

back end of last season, so I’ve 

really enjoyed it,” said Scott. 

“Since then, I’ve played in 

some good results but we’ve 

had tough ones as well, now we 

just need to get the results at 

home and that can help us 

push on." 4 


Words James Crawley 


I JUST HAVE TO 

KEEP PUSHING 

MYSELF TO BE THE 

BEST AND NOW I’M 

IN THE FIRST TEAM 

I’M JUST AIMING TO 

BE THE BEST I CAN 

AT THIS LEVEL. 

4 “It’s been a crazy year 

for me. Going from Under- 

18s to Under-23s was 

tough but that’s the first 

big step in your career. 

"You get used to Under- 

23s football but I couldn’t 

get comfortable and I 

kept looking forward, to 

be ready for my first team 

opportunity. I’ve taken it 

all in my stride now I just 

need to keep my head 

down and improve even 

more both on and off the 

pitch.” 

That start on the opening 

day of the season was a 

reward for his hard work 

and he rightly got an 

ovation from the crowd 

when he departed the 

pitch in the second half 

against the Seasiders. 

“It was a special moment,” 

said Scott with a beaming 

smile. “It helped I had to 

do the walk around and I 

got to embrace that. That 

was the first competitive 

game with fans back 

too so it was a brilliant 

moment. 

“Honestly, I didn’t expect 

to push on as far as I 

have. To sign my first 

pro deal here was a big 

moment for me, signing 

another contract on my 

18th birthday a couple of 

months ago was a another 

special moment for me 

too. 

“I’m just enjoying my 

time here and I’m 

extremely grateful for 

the opportunities I have 

been given. Tony Vance at 

Guernsey has been a big 

influence for me, as has 

Brian Tinnion in bringing 

me here, they’ve helped to 

kick off my career. 

“I just have to keep pushing 

myself to be the best and 

now I’m in the first team 

I’m just aiming to be the 

best I can at this level.”

Scott also has big ambitions 

on the international stage, 

reflecting on his involvement 

with the England Under-19s. 

“It’s special to play for your 

country,” said Scott, having 

just returned to the Robins 

High Performance Centre 

after October’s international 

action, where the Young 

Lions played France, Mexico 

– Scott was an unused 

substitute – and Belgium. 

“It was tough but I gained 

more experience, I got 

two more caps and I really 

enjoyed it. It’s different – at 

first it was hard because 

I’m the only player from 

City in the age group and 

everyone already knows 

each other, but they’re a 

great bunch of lads, we get 

along and I feel a big part of 

the squad. 

“Of course I’ve got my eyes 

on the Under-20s and 

Under-21s, then on to the 

first team – that’s the aim!”

Today’s

us to recall 

a meeting 

1894 1894 1894 

at Ashton Gate in City’s 

1954/55 promotion season, 

which is captured by this

Giving Football Back to 

Small Business 

At eBay, we know small business and 

football clubs used to be like chips and 

gravy, two peas in a pod – a match 

made in community heaven. 

Ironmongers, ship workers, spring 

makers and cobblers, all formed clubs 

which decades later are still prospering. 

But nowadays, you’d think it was all 

eyewatering transfers, Super Leagues 

and mega sponsors, detached from the 

humble origins of our historic clubs. 

That’s why eBay are proud to support 

300,000 small businesses who help 

power EFL clubs nationwide. We’ll be 

donating our advertising space to a lot 

of these businesses – on match day 

hoardings, around grounds and beyond – 

throughout the coming season, to ensure 

they can continue to thrive in our local 

communities. So, join us in giving your 

support to Small Business Power, because 

today, they need us more than ever.
