Cherries: Howe impressed by Pitman's work
BOSS Eddie Howe is urging star pupil Brett Pitman to grasp the opportunity as the prolific striker continues to fire Cherries towards promotion glory.[LNB] Talented frontman Pitman has been a revelation since Howe took the Cherries reins and his goals were a key factor in the club's relegation escape last season.[LNB] And his fine form this term has spearheaded the surge towards a place in League One his latest match-winning act inspiring the 2-1 midweek win over Hereford United.[LNB] The mercurial Jerseyman took his campaign tally to 25 with that well-taken double and he will again be tasked with carrying Cherries' main goal threat against Darlington at Dean Court this afternoon (3pm).[LNB] Howe told the Echo: His work rate and all the other things he needs to do to produce good performances, he has done consistently well over the past three or four games.[LNB] The secret to his form is he has worked hard at his game in training.[LNB] He is working hard on his game in training and that's all I ask him to do keep trying to improve and he's doing that at the moment.[LNB] When it was suggested Pitman's natural talent could take him a long way, Howe added: It could. And Brett needs to grasp the opportunity because a career goes so quickly.[LNB] All we say to him is make the most of every moment because a career flies by before you know it.[LNB] Pitman's goalscoring exploits saw him linked with a number of clubs from a higher level during the transfer window, with Championship outfit Peterborough showing most interest.[LNB]
