Cherries To Bounce Back - Lallana

Last updated : 15 March 2011 By Bournemouth Co-Ordinator

Despite defeats against Exeter City and South Coast Club in a matter of days, Saints ace, Adam Lallana has tipped AFC Bournemouth to bounce back from their recent set back, being quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "It is a big derby and it means a lot to the fans so to come out on top was massive. There was an extra edge to the game for me because I live in the area and I had a lot of family and friends here. These are the games you want to play in as a footballer. We defended and attacked when we had to and dug in at the end after we had gone down to 10 men. Bournemouth are in a winning habit and have continued on from last season when they got promotion. They are a tight unit, they are doing well and I hope they continue to do well. It is not the first time they have had back-to-back defeats and I am sure Lee will pick them up and they will go again on Saturday".
