Speaking in the Bournemouth Evening Echo on the challenge that's been laid down for the Cherries youngsters, manager Eddie Howe is quoted as saying: "Slowly but surely, we hope to increase numbers and quality. The squad has only been going since the start of last season and it takes time to put together a new team. We are still forming a nucleus of players that we feel will hopefully be good enough to supplement the first team. We released three players who we didn't feel could push to get a first-team place in the next year to 18 months and we may look to recruit from outside. We are developing a pool of good, young players and, for the group to work, we always need to look to increase the quality. Baily Cargill is a prime example of how you can develop players if you can get the balance right and that is what we are looking to do. We will keep the other players and they will form the nucleus of the team that we want to move forward with. As they get older, there will come a time that they are either going to have to break into the first-team squad or we will have to part company. There is a pressure on them to try to make the break and that is not an easy thing to do, especially when you compare our squad now with a few years ago. It is probably one of the toughest things to do for any young player so we want to give them opportunities but they have to prove they are better than our current players".
