Boss looking forward to clash of in-form teams...
WITH five wins from our last six games and a fully fit squad, things are looking good at the moment.The lads are working hard and there's plenty of confidence throughout the squad. We have a group of players here who are pushing all of the time; the lads that are not currently in the team are doing all they can to impress and give me food for thought and there is a very positive vibe around the place that can only bode well for us.
We came home from Preston with a deserved victory last weekend. There were impressive performances all over the pitch. We have been tight as a team and looked capable of scoring in every game, so it has given us a platform to really build upon.
We're all sharing the goals around the team, which is more good news for us.
AFC Bournemouth have been on a fantastic run since Eddie Howe returned to the helm. They have a strong squad who are capable of playing in The Championship.
They have spent their money well and will come here well-organised and with plenty of belief.
We are looking forward to pitting our wits against them. We'll pay them respect, but we won't fear them; we're in good form, so it will certainly be an interesting game.
The players are developing nicely and our style of play is winning plaudits, which is nice. Hopefully that momentum can continue and we can secure the points on offer.
Thank you for your valued support...
