Preston North End Reaction - Cherries II

Last updated : 31 October 2011 By Bournemouth Co-Ordinator

Depsite a relatively poor run in the League (6 wins in 32 outings), manager Lee Bradbury is hailing the 'togetherness' of the squad in these tough times.

The Cherries boss is quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "We did a professional job and the lads worked really hard for one another. We were a little bit off it in the first half but gave it a really good go after half-time. The lads have got to start believing in themselves a bit more. I want them to be on the front foot more and put into practice what we work on. The lads had a good go in the second half and they got what they deserved. I thought they were phenomenal. We need to take this and grow in confidence for our home form. I want them to be positive and to play with freedom, like they did in the second half. I want them to go at teams because, when we do that and win the ball high up the pitch, we have got a lot of pace in the team".
