Huddersfield Town Reaction - Cherries II

Last updated : 26 August 2013 By Bournemouth Co-Ordinator

With the Cherries reeling from successive heavy away defeats in the Championship, skipper Tommy Elphick reflects on those loses and the prospect of a return to Watford on Wednesday and a trip to fellow promoted side Doncaster Rovers at the weekend.

Elphick is quoted on the Clubs Official Web Site as saying: "We have got to try and turn it into a positive, and if it’s a mental block we have got to get over it quickly. Obviously we have a hard game on Wednesday night and then Donny away on Saturday so that’s a lot of travelling. They are two good opportunities to work on things and put things right and we need to put it right because we can’t rely on our home form this season. We were good in spells today but spells aren’t good enough because in this league you need to control games and see teams off and be solid, especially away from home. You look at the two teams on paper and Watford were renowned for playing three at the back and Huddersfield have sort of adopted that. Watford mastered it so this is definitely a more negative result today. It is something that we have got to learn quickly because it’s something teams are doing a lot this season. We have got to learn to deal with it and not only that but going away from home".
