Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe will include new signing Adam Smith in his squad for the clash against Carlisle. The England Under-19 international defender has signed on a one-month loan from Spurs. On-loan goalkeeper Jon Stewart will have to be content with a place on the bench while experienced striker Steven Fletcher is pushing for a start after returning from a heel injury. Striker Lee Bradbury and defender Stephen Purches haven't trained all week because of injury and are doubtful for the game at Dean Court. Striker Michael Symes is definitely out with shoulder problems and Tim Stephenson, who damaged knee ligaments in a reserve game last week, faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
