Cherries: Howe wants players to continue dealing with the pressure
BOSS Eddie Howe believes dealing with the weight of expectation will be key as his team continue to chase promotion.[LNB] Cherries will be aiming to consolidate their position in the top three when they host Hereford United tonight (7.45pm).[LNB] Howe highlighted as a key factor Cherries' ability to handle the pressure of the run-in.[LNB] Previewing the visit of the Bulls, he said: Our home form has been good and we go into the game with real confidence on the back of how we have played at Dean Court lately.[LNB] It won't be easy Hereford have got nothing to play for and are under no pressure and they can come and play.[LNB] They are dangerous games, everyone will expect us to win these two games and that in itself brings added pressure.[LNB] But we have learned to cope with that pretty well at home and we need to do so again.[LNB] Howe confirmed Shaun Cooper (Achilles) would miss out, while Ryan Garry (hip flexor) is rated doubtful and will be assessed prior to kick-off. The Cherries boss is hopeful other players nursing knocks will recover in time.[LNB] Cherries: (from) Jalal, Bradbury, Bartley, Pearce, Wiggins, Feeney, Hollands, Robinson, Igoe, Pitman, Connell, Fletcher, McQuoid, Cummings, Goulding, Guyett, Partington, Garry, Thomas.[LNB] Bulls: (from) Bartlett, Green, Rose, D Jones, Valentine, Young, Done, Lunt, McQuilkin, Pugh, Manset, Jervis, McCallum, C Jones, Preston, Gwynne, King, Constantine, Adamson.[LNB]
