Cherries place cup glory over cash
The cash-strapped Cherries reached the FA Cup second round with a 3-1 win at their League Two rivals to maintain their impressive record in the early stages of the competition - the south coast club have only gone out at the first hurdle twice since 1982.[LNB]"I said to the players before the match that it wasn't about money, it was about wanting to do well in the competition because of the prestige of the FA Cup," said Howe.[LNB]"The money is a by-product and it will be great financially if we can go on a little run, but first and foremost it's wanting to do well in the FA Cup."[LNB]On his side's victory at Saltergate, Howe added: "It was a really good performance. The work-rate and application and all the things you need to win a game were in evidence. The lads worked extremely hard from back to front and deserved to win the game.[LNB]"I was a bit fearful because this is a hard place to come, but credit to the players because they showed great resilience. I knew Chesterfield would come at us in the second half but they never really cut us open. They had possession, mainly in their half, but we defended well and deserved to go through."[LNB][LNB]
