Cherries: Old boy Stock tells Dean Court faithful: "Nothing has changed overnight."
7:00am Friday 8th March 2013 in Sport
By Neil Perrett
CHERRIES old boy Brian Stock is tipping Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall to turn the tide and has reminded the Dean Court faithful: “Remember your start to the season.”
Stock, who skippered Doncaster to League One play-off final glory in 2008, is predicting a close contest when two of his former clubs lock horns tomorrow (3pm).
Rovers currently top the table following their relegation from the Championship last season, while Cherries are seventh having endured a poor start to the campaign.
Stock, one of Howe’s last signings at Burnley before he returned to Dorset in October, told the Daily Echo: “Both teams deserve a lot of credit for how they have done this season.
“It is always difficult to overcome the disappointment of being relegated and it takes a lot of character to bounce back. I remember when we did it at Bournemouth and we went straight back up after we had gone down. Doncaster have done well and I am not surprised to see them where they are.
“Everybody knows Bournemouth had a slow start. I was disappointed when Eddie and Jason left Burnley but the run and the manner in which Bournemouth did it was truly remarkable. They were the talk of the country and the fact they have got to where they are now is a credit to them.
“It is important the supporters stick with the players and the manager. I know they have just lost four games but nothing has changed overnight. A few weeks ago, they were top of the table and had only lost once in 20-odd games.
“People have got to look at just how far they have come since the start of the season and to be in with a shout of promotion is unbelievable. They have got a quality squad and I am sure they will pull through the bad run. Even the best teams in the world have bad runs and it is about how you react. Everybody needs to stay together.”
Winchester-born Stock, who came through the ranks at Dean Court, spent seven years as a pro with Cherries before joining Doncaster in 2007 following a brief spell at Preston.
He added: “When I first went to Burnley, I had only played with and had a good laugh with Eddie and Jason as team-mates. But it didn’t take me long to give them the respect they deserved as manager and assistant. They know what they are talking about.
“They know how to approach games, they do their homework and motivate the players. I can see why Bournemouth went out of their way to get them back. It was a big loss for Burnley and a major gain for Bournemouth. I am sure if it doesn’t happen for them this season, it will definitely happen next.”

Still need answers from The Board though, regarding a lot of questions put by fans. Some of us have a very uneasy feeling about things.

.
Tomorrow is a massive six-pointer as defeat tomorrow and a win for Sheff Utd will end any hopes of automatic promotion. I cannot see Sheff Utd slipping up tomorrow to be honest.
.
So a win for us is absolutely vital
.
It is not a case of being negative, it is a case of saying: look we have two key defenders out, we also have no target man up front to change the style and shape and subsequently give to oppostion something else to think about.
.
We are also without Arter of which compounds the situation more.
.
I suppose another way of putting it is that if we had not had the injuries we now have we probably would not be sitting on the back of four straight defeats.
.
Plus the fact that Donaster will be hopping mad after their defeat in mid-week. The worse thing that we can do is let them take the lead, if they do they will just sit back and put us in their back pockets and see the game out. ie Sheff Utd all over again. plus the fact they are big, strong side and they will over power us physically.
.
WE MUST TAKE THE LEAD in order to open then out.
.
Unfortunately, by the time Elphick and Daniels get back to match fitness we would have run out of games to catch up. They need at least one reserve game before hand. I cannot see them being back until the game after the Stevenage game. By which time it will be too late as we would have run out of games to put any potential promotion crusade back on track.
.
Unfortunately, this the reality of the situation and not negativity. I would like you all to see this in that vain of thought.
.
I have posed the reasons why i cannot see us winning tomorrow. I will now listen to and accept any reasonable evidence for people saying that we are going to win.
.

With respect there is no "evidence" that we will not win either! Though I certainly agree that the probability is high that under current circumstances we are in for a tough game.
However we have already beaten Donny this season, we still have a good quick, skilled team and good management, add home advantage with a hopefully supportive crowd anything can happen. Also football is a game of chance as well as skill so nothing is pre-determined and if Donny have the 'hump' over losing on Wednesday we should have the 'humpx4' for our recent results!
So I'm going for a Cherry-tinted glassed 3 points tommorrow and am looking forward to cheering the boys on!!!

(Pity one or two others find this difficult)
.
However, you must take into account that when we acquired victory at Doncaster we did not have the major injuries we have now. The injuries have been the pivotal reason why we have lost four games in a row.
.
But like you I do hope we can manufacture a result but my hopes are not bubblingly high.
.
I just cannot see Tubbs, Grabban and Pitman unlocking a back four that resembles the England international rugby back line.
.
To reiterate we must not concede first. If they score first it will be game over.

However, I back EH in this backs to the wall situation and use tomorrow to kick start an unbeaten run til the end of the seaon & automatic promotion by at least a 3 point gap.
There "smhinto" put that up your negative pipe & smoke it!

The option where I would stick Fletch on is the situation where if we were winning 1-0 with 20mins to go, I would stick him on simply to give the opposition something else to think about it and to start pulling their defenders all over the place of which can do well.

Season 2012-2013 Fast forward to March 2013. AFCB, having had yet another poor run of results found themselves in the deserved position of having to reduce the number of staff on the payroll at Dean Court. Over the coming weeks this first batch of redundancies would pale into insignificance once the full impact of what was to follow became known. All playing staff were sold for around 15% of their incoming transfer value in a fire sale that can only be described as being on a biblical scale. The club was put up for sale, but unfortunately a buyer could not be found so owner Maxim Demin (one time saviour of AFCB) placed the club in administration and subsequently sold the land the ground was built on to a local developer. The developer (known as Mr M) has yet to decide whether the plans for a residential project consisting mainly of 3 storey houses would be the best way forward. His opinion is that given the local population for the most part are unable to manage stairs, bungalows may be more in keeping with local requirements. The fanbase were initially a little disappointed at their clubs demise, but soon realised that supporting a bigger club like Poole Town FC was far more rewarding.

r alternative story is that AFCB win tomorrow and go on to remain unbeaten to the end of the season and clinch promotion on the very last day at Tranmere....Max buys out the mitchell clan and instructs the building of the fourth stand...we survive The Championship in season 2013/14 and consoldiate in that league. Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall are FULLY supported by the board of AFCB!...

The fanbase were initially a little disappointed at their clubs demise, but soon realised that supporting a bigger club like Poole Town FC was far more rewarding.

Season 2012-2013
Season 2012-2013 Fast forward to March 2013. AFCB, having had yet another poor run of results found themselves in the deserved position of having to reduce the number of staff on the payroll at Dean Court. Over the coming weeks this first batch of redundancies would pale into insignificance once the full impact of what was to follow became known. All playing staff were sold for around 15% of their incoming transfer value in a fire sale that can only be described as being on a biblical scale. The club was put up for sale, but unfortunately a buyer could not be found so owner Maxim Demin (one time saviour of AFCB) placed the club in administration and subsequently sold the land the ground was built on to a local developer.

Unfortunately, I cannot see anything changing tomorrow.
.
Tomorrow is a massive six-pointer as defeat tomorrow and a win for Sheff Utd will end any hopes of automatic promotion. I cannot see Sheff Utd slipping up tomorrow to be honest.
.
So a win for us is absolutely vital
.
It is not a case of being negative, it is a case of saying: look we have two key defenders out, we also have no target man up front to change the style and shape and subsequently give to oppostion something else to think about.
.
We are also without Arter of which compounds the situation more.
.
I suppose another way of putting it is that if we had not had the injuries we now have we probably would not be sitting on the back of four straight defeats.
.
Plus the fact that Donaster will be hopping mad after their defeat in mid-week. The worse thing that we can do is let them take the lead, if they do they will just sit back and put us in their back pockets and see the game out. ie Sheff Utd all over again. plus the fact they are big, strong side and they will over power us physically.
.
WE MUST TAKE THE LEAD in order to open then out.
.
Unfortunately, by the time Elphick and Daniels get back to match fitness we would have run out of games to catch up. They need at least one reserve game before hand. I cannot see them being back until the game after the Stevenage game. By which time it will be too late as we would have run out of games to put any potential promotion crusade back on track.
.
Unfortunately, this the reality of the situation and not negativity. I would like you all to see this in that vain of thought.
.
I have posed the reasons why i cannot see us winning tomorrow. I will now listen to and accept any reasonable evidence for people saying that we are going to win.
.
Regards

Also, have you actually considered that Doncaster may have more players out through injury than us.
Just a thought.

multipostingshouldbeSold the land? how the hell would he be able to sell the land or the stadium, neither are owned by the club, so if you are going into the realms of fantasy surely you need to get the main part of the story right!! One of the totally obsessed with the idea Mitchell only wants to be at the club so he can put up flats brigade, I thought we were rid of you lot but of course as soon as there is a story that can be twisted to look negative and kills off the club out you all come. You did the same thing 3 years ago, we are not mean to be here, I recall very clearly how within 2-3 years we would be looking at these flats, and yet here we still are today fighting for promotion to the championship, oh how it must hurt that us fans still have our team and will be there this afternoon watching and cheering the lads on to a valuable 3 points!!
