Has it been a season of progress, stagnation or indifference?
Undoubted progress. When Andoni Iraola was appointed as boss last summer, national pundits slammed the Cherries for sacking Gary O’Neil, poured scorn on Iraola and claimed that a club of Bournemouth’s size should have no other ambition in the top flight than to survive.
Well, they have not only survived, they have thrived. The bald statistics compared to 2022-23 show an improvement from 39 to 48 points, 37 to 54 goals scored, and 15th to 12th place. But more than that, fans have enjoyed a season featuring the most attractive brand of football since the Eddie Howe days.
Biggest success for club this season?
More points, more goals, and Iraola’s preference for attacking football over pragmatism has brought the feel-good factor back to Vitality Stadium. The Cherries even won the Premier League’s “Most Improbable Comeback” award for the second successive season, following the memorable night when they trailed Luton 3-0 at half-time, only to win 4-3 with a gung-ho display.
Biggest let down or frustration?
There has been very little to be negative about – every club will have a list of perceived injustices perpetrated by officials and VAR – but Dominic Solanke’s omission from England squads has left fans hurt and mystified. Having stated that “other players had better seasons” when explaining the absence of Marcus Rashford, England boss Gareth Southgate’s inclusion of Ivan Toney (four goals in 18 club games, with none in his last 12) ahead of Solanke (19 goals in 38) was self-contradictory.
Key item on the summer agenda?
Address the goalkeeping situation. Bournemouth have a plethora of keepers including club captain Neto and popular home-grown Mark Travers, while young Will Dennis has earned rave reviews on loan at Kilmarnock. But many fans feel an upgrade is needed. While a return “home” for Aaron Ramsdale would be a dream signing, that could be difficult financially.

McNulty’s pre-season prediction: 15th
Actual finish: 12th
What a fine season Bournemouth had under Andoni Iraola. He proved a very good appointment following the shock sacking of Gary O’Neil, fully justifying the faith of a smart hierarchy who backed their man and refused to panic after it took him 10 games to get his first Premier League win.
The football was entertaining, Vitality Stadium was vibrant and Iraola has signed a new contract. What’s not to like if you are a Bournemouth fan?

"Fans' favourite Solanke has had a remarkable season, particularly in front of goal. One of the top goalscorers in the division with 19 league goals, Dom has been the Cherries' leading light up the top end of the pitch. His influence is always evident."
And here is how the votes went for the other 19 Premier League clubs

Bournemouth recorded their highest points tally in the top flight under Andoni Iraola and secured their place for a third successive Premier League season.
Sam Davis, from Back of the net, external, has given his verdict on the 2023-24 campaign.
Season rating: 8/10. A superb first season. It took a while to get going, but once the Cherries starting purring, they could be a match for anyone - home or away.
Happy with your manager? To say Cherries fans are happy would be an understatement. The best compliment we could pay Andoni Iraola is that he is the closest manager to Eddie Howe's style and philosophy that we have had since the latter's departure. The Spaniard has finally enabled us to move on from Bournemouth's 'special one'.
Unsung hero: Adam Smith is a player who is effectively a veteran at Bournemouth, but the solid right-back has consistently kept Max Aarons out of the side, continually performed at a very high level and has helped shut out some world-class opponents.
Player you would most like to sign: There have been questions over our goalkeeper this season, so the return of Aaron Ramsdale would be music to the ears of many a Bournemouth fan. He will want to be playing regularly, so perhaps Dean Court could be the right place for him once more? However, if we could coax an existing player to stay longer, it would have to be Dominic Solanke.
Best away fans: This season the Arsenal fans were absolutely brilliant. Their side were obviously riding the crest of a wave in the league, but you know you have been visited by a well-supported team when some of their chants subsequently end up in your head for most of the evening. Last season, it was the chant for William Saliba - this time around, it was Kai Havertz's song.

Image source, Getty ImagesIn the dying minutes of the match against Chelsa, Bournemouth's best vchance of the game fell to Dominic Solanke but he uncharacteristically blazed the ball over the bar.
Despite that miss, Solanke's season has been one to remember and he's been a huge reason as to why Andoni Iraola has had such a successful first campaign on the south coast.
With 19 goals in the Premier League, only Alexander Isak, Cole Palmer and Erling Haaland scored more than Solanke this season.
Whether those goals and performances will be enough to earn himself a place in the England squad for Euro 2024, we will have to wait and see but Solanke has don all he can to catch the attention of Gareth Southgate.
As for the summer, Solanke is sure to be attracting interest from other Premier League clubs after his tremendous campaign but should feel in no rush to move on while still only 26-years-old.
Under Iraola, a team is being built around the strenghts of the former Chelsea and Liverpool striker and Solanke is reaping the rewards.
Image source, Getty ImagesBournemouth boss Andoni Iraola to Sky Sports: "I am very happy with the performance. We deserved much more but you have to take your chances against this kind of opposition. I am happy.
"We wanted to win but we knew we were facing a very good team. The first goal is amazing from the halfway line. We put them under pressure in the second half but we couldn't finish the job. We finished the season very competitive but I am OK with how we played today.
"Some players have been training very well and not had the minutes they deserved. Having competition has made them push and we need it for next season.
"I am not expecting any change but you never know. I see Solanke performing well and he is in a good place but we cannot guarantee anything with any player.
"We have to continue. We will have time off but we need to improve things for next season. It is not going to be easy but we have to continue on the same line. I have enjoyed it. It has made me improve a lot. It is a big challenge."
Here are the key facts and figures from Sunday's game between Chelsea and Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Chelsea have won five consecutive Premier League games for the first time since March 2022 under Tomas Tuchel - they last enjoyed a longer such run in the competition in November 2020 which was a run of six under Frank Lampard.
Despite losing three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since October 2023, Bournemouth finished in 12th place on 48 points. That is their best points tally in a top-flight campaign. Meanwhile, only in 2016-17 have the Cherries ever finished higher in the competition (ninth).
Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino won his 150th match in the Premier League (19 with Southampton, 113 with Tottenham and 18 with Chelsea). Chelsea have scored 77 goals this season, which is their third-most across a single campaign in the competition. Only bettered in 2009-10 (103) and 2016-17 (85) – which were both title-winning seasons.
Raheem Sterling has scored 10 goals and assisted a further four in the top-flight against Bournemouth. Against no other side has he been involved in more goals in the competition (also 14 against West Ham).
Moises Caicedo scored his first goal in the Premier League for Chelsea, while it was his first in the competition since netting against Leicester for Brighton in September 2022.
Chelsea secured European football for next season as Moises Caicedo hit a stunning 50-yard goal in their 2-1 win over Bournemouth.
Mauricio Pochettino's sixth-placed side are provisionally set to play Europa League football next term, but they will drop to the Europa Conference League if Manchester United beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday, 25 May.

All 20 teams are in action on the final day of the 2023-24 Premier League season, with the title winners, European spots and one relegation place still to be confirmed.
Chris Sutton is making predictions for every Premier League game this season against a variety of guests.
For this weekend’s final games of the season, he takes on Gladiators star Legend.
Sutton's prediction: 3-1
Bournemouth have just dipped a bit recently but, whatever happens here, they have had a great first year under Andoni Iraola.
Chelsea have won four on the spin and could reel Tottenham in to finish fifth, which would be remarkable after the campaign they have had.
I'm going to go with them carrying on their winning run and for Cole Palmer to continue his scoring form with another goal.
Legend's prediction: 3-1
Chelsea are on a good run, apart from when we absolutely battered them 5-0 at the end of April. I was there for that game and it was amazing - we tore them apart.
But the way Chelsea are playing, as much as I hate to admit, it, they are probably going to win this.
I just really enjoy watching Chelsea lose.
