Cherries: Bradders wary of Owls' poor run

BOSS Lee Bradbury has urged Cherries to ensure Sheffield Wednesday's rot does not stop at Dean Court. The Owls arrive in Dorset tonight (7.45pm) attempting to halt a run of nine league matches without a victory and on the back of seven straight away defeats in third tier action. Having featured in the promotion mix at one stage, Wednesday find themselves just five points above the drop zone in 16th position. Bradbury, who had a brief spell with Wednesday in the 2002-03 season, is keen to ensure their troublesome form does not take a turn for the better against Cherries. When asked about Wednesday, he said: The fans and everyone at the club think they should be higher up the league, so there is pressure on them to perform week in, week out. But having said that, there is on everyone. We're under pressure to stay in the position we are in the league. They have declined quite rapidly but it has got to stop somewhere. We have got to make sure it is not against us. Bradbury, whose side are undefeated in seven since he took charge, expects to have Michael Symes available after the striker had a facial cut glued on Saturday. Rhoys Wiggins was substituted against Huddersfield due to a slight thigh problem but is also in line to feature tonight.
