Cherries: Double edge to Spireites clash
BOSS Eddie Howe knows the boot will be on the other foot when Cherries head to Chester-field bidding to become gatecrashers rather than revellers.[LNB] Howe's charges tomorrow face the Spireites in the final match at their Recreation Ground headquarters before they move to a new ground in the summer (3pm kick-off).[LNB] The Derbyshire outfit will be hoping for a double celebration with John Sheridan's men needing to beat Cherries to stand any chance of reaching the play-offs.[LNB] Howe said: It is all set up to be a really good game. It should be a carnival atmosphere and they will want to celebrate in style. They have still got a chance to reach the play-offs so it is a massive game for both teams because we are still vying for second place.[LNB] I was really impressed with them when we played them at Dean Court in October. I thought they were an excellent team. At that stage, you thought they might go on to fight for an automatic place and I'm sure they had the same ambitions.[LNB] We beat them in the FA Cup in November and performed excellently on the day. I've seen them a couple of times since and they have always impressed me.[LNB] They have got some good players and it will be a bumper crowd. Most of them will turn up wanting to see a home win and we need to make sure we are ready to perform because it is going to be another tough game.[LNB] You always want to play in front of big crowds. We certainly don't want to go there and have an uncomfortable afternoon. We want to play our normal game and express ourselves. Hopefully, we can perform like we did in the second half against Port Vale.[LNB] Howe will be forced to make at least one change to his line-up following the expiry of Rhoys Wig-gins's loan spell from Norwich.[LNB] Asked whether he anticipated making many other changes, Howe replied: I will pick a team to try to win the game. I certainly won't change things too much. I might make a couple of changes but it will only be with the thought of selecting the best team to play Chesterfield.[LNB] Defender Ryan Garry could return after recovering from a neck injury, although goalkeeper Shwan Jalal remains a doubt due to his ankle problem. He could face a late fitness test with teenager Dan Thomas on stand-by to again deputise.[LNB] Cherries: (from) Thomas, Bradbury, Pearce, Cooper, Feeney, Hollands, Bartley, Robinson, Fletcher, Pitman, Goulding, McQuoid, Partington, Igoe, Guyett, Connell, Cummings, Garry, Jalal.[LNB] Spireites: (from) Lee, Page, Goodall, Breckin, Niven, Boshell, Gray, Small, Demontagnac, Lester, Talbot, Boden, Rundle, Conlon, Austin, Whing, Bowery, Crossley.[LNB]
