Speaking in the Bournemouth Evening Echo, manager Sean O'Driscoll is cautious about the clash against Blackburn Rovers, saying that: "I don't think the Blackburn game is a priority for us - the game on Saturday is more important for us. It would have been nice if it had been at home and we had a full squad to choose from but the main thing is that we get through the game without any injuries. It doesn't give us very long to recover if we pick up any knocks ahead of the Doncaster game".
As reported yesterday, Sean will have loanees Eddie Howe and John Spicer available for selection as both their home clubs gave permission for them both to play.
