Cherries: Full house can play a part says Bradbury

BOSS Lee Bradbury insists Cherries can prosper against Brighton with the right application and a full house spurring them on.[LNB] The caretaker manager is preparing for his first home match in charge against the League One leaders tomorrow (3pm).[LNB] Bradbury made an encouraging start to his spell at the helm when Cherries secured a goalless draw at Rochdale on Tuesday night.[LNB] And the visit of high-flying Albion represents an ideal opportunity to impress the Dean Court faithful, with a sell-out crowd expected for the south coast showdown.[LNB] Previewing the clash, Bradbury said: Brighton are a good side. They keep the ball really well, play out from the back and use the goalkeeper as an extra player.[LNB] It is quite difficult to break them down and it will be a tough game, that's for sure. But our lads will be well up for it.[LNB] We are going to try to get after them. We are at home and the onus is on us a little bit more than it was when we played them down there.[LNB] Bradbury added: They have got some good individual players in the team who score goals.[LNB] We will have to prepare well and look at the way they are going to play and how we are going to combat that. But it is about how we play as well and how we conduct ourselves.[LNB] If we do it properly, with a full house behind us and pushing us on, I'm sure we can do well.[LNB] Bradbury reported no fresh injury worries following the 0-0 draw at Rochdale.[LNB] Midfielder Mark Molesley is closing in on a return after more than a year out with a foot problem.[LNB] Long-term injury victim Steve Lovell (ankle) is upping his rehabilitation programme, while Ryan Garry (shins) also remains on the sidelines.[LNB] Cherries: (from) Jalal, Smith, Cooper, Pearce, Wiggins, Feeney, Hollands, Bartley, Robinson, Pugh, Ings, Fletcher, Purches, Partington, Cummings, Arter, Symes, Taylor, Stewart.[LNB] Albion: (from) Ankergren, Calderon, Greer, El-Abd, Painter, Bridcutt, Sparrow, Kishishev, Noone, Dicker, Bennett, Wood, Murray, Barnes, Elphick, Holroyd, Sandaza, Brezovan.[LNB]
