DEPARTING midfielder Anton Robinson believes Cherries have enough talent coming through the ranks to keep on achieving.[LNB] Robinson, who joined Huddersfield on Monday, tipped the likes of Joe Partington and Harry Arter to fill the void left by his and Danny Hollands's exits this summer and believes boss Lee Bradbury has brought in enough quality to carry last season's play-off form into the new campaign.[LNB] Robinson told the Echo: People might have thought we would struggle in pre-season with Jason Pearce, Rhoys Wiggins and Danny leaving, but the lads have been flying since we came back.[LNB] It's been very upbeat and I was really impressed with the way Bradders, Fletch, Louis Langdown and the coaching staff approached this pre-season. It's been successful and the lads should be looking forward to the start of the season.[LNB] Bradders and Fletch have done amazingly to continue the momentum, but it's always hard with the wage cap in place.[LNB] They have done a marvellous job to put a good team together.[LNB] There are some great talents there who just need a season behind them to show how good they are. The likes of Joe Partington and Harry Arter are great players and with some games under their belts, they will be amazing players for the club.[LNB] Coming back in pre-season I still felt we had a strong team. With the signings Bradders brought in, I still felt we looked decent. All the lads were fit and I felt, and still feel, that the team could do well this year.[LNB] Asked whether he could understand the supporters' frustration after a summer of sales, Robinson added: You can understand how the fans feel when players move on.[LNB] But I had a year left on my contract and I think it was right for me and Bournemouth that I went now.[LNB] Huddersfield is a big club, but I am leaving a club I care about.[LNB] Living in Bournemouth for the past five years of my life means moving up there was a huge decision and one I didn't make lightly.[LNB]
