With 8 matches currently lined up for March, the next few weeks will be particularly telling for everyone in the Championship, starting with the visit of Doncaster Rovers on March 1st.
On the fixtures ahead, manager Eddie Howe is quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "We are hopeful we will be able to keep the majority of the squad fit because that is going to be key. Hopefully, with a couple of returning players not too far away, the squad will be in good shape. They are going to be important games for us because a lot of them are against the teams in and around us so we need to try to get some positive results. Our recent performances have been good and we have been disappointed and unfortunate to only pick up two points from four games, including playing the top three. Now we are playing teams closer to us in the league and it is vital we perform and get the results to match".
