Howe Confident

Speaking on the Clubs Official Web Site, Eddie Howe is quoted as saying: "Chesterfield are always a hard team to play against and will pose a strong physical test. They'll come here to make it difficult for us and it's up to us to break them down and score goals. We were hard to beat at the end of last season and we need to take that into the new campaign. Confidence is high in the squad. The squad is looking in good shape and everyone has been working really hard because with the numbers we have, there's always someone else capable of taking your place".

Eddie has how made 270 appearances in a Bournemouth shirt, with a further 14 starts from the bench.
