Symes Lacking Match Fitness

Michael Symes is citing a lack of match fitness for the glaring miss against Rochdale last Saturday.

With Michael Symes returning to first team action against Rochdale, the striker was quoted after the match as saying in the Bournemouth Evening Echo: "I think it was Warren Cummings who hit a diagonal and I peeled off the defender’s shoulder. I brought it down nicely and I just, maybe, rushed the finish a bit with my left foot. Maybe, I should have let it come down and volleyed it back across goal with my right foot. But I think I probably would have done that five or six games in. I panicked a little bit and, unfortunately, it went just over. There were a couple of times where I gave away the ball, which normally I would never do. That is just rustiness and it takes a couple of games to get your awareness on the pitch and stuff like that. The more games I play, the better that will get".
