Bradbury proud to seal play-off spot

Lee Bradbury emphasised the positives after Bournemouth secured a play-off spot. But the Cherries boss was clearly disappointed to concede an equalising goal to Hartlepool`s goalkeeper in injury time. Goals from Steve Lovell and Donal McDermott put Bournemouth in control. Adam Boyd pulled a goal back from the penalty spot before Scott Flinders` header sensationally made it 2-2. "I suppose I should be stood here with a big smile on my face but the manner of this result makes it negative, we are gutted to concede so late," said Bradbury. "However, we have set out to achieve something positive this season and done it. "To make the play-offs is a fantastic achievement and we fancy ourselves against anyone now. At the start of the season we had belief we could do well as a bunch, we thought we could be successful and we will take on anyone in the play-offs. "We are in the play-offs - a great achievement. The first-half was the best we have played in a while and they didn't know how to deal with us, I was really pleased."
