Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe was delighted with a terrific team performance in the 3-0 victory at Tranmere. The Cherries put speculation about striker Brett Pitman behind them with a thumping win after goals from Josh McQuoid, Michael Symes and Marc Pugh. Howe said: "It has been a difficult week with all the transfer talk concerning Brett Pitman but the boys responded magnificently with a brilliant display. "They came up here and got a great victory and I'm delighted for them. "We were solid at the back and a real threat going forward. We look as if we are going to be a tough side to beat."
