Bristol City v AFC Bournemouth

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.
