Cherries: Rovers snatch late win
5:01pm Saturday 9th March 2013 in Sport
By Neil Perrett
CHERRIES lost further ground in the race for promotion when they were condemned to a 2-1 defeat by League One leaders Doncaster today.
Billy Paynter fired the visitors ahead midway through the second half, only for Matt Tubbs to level just four minutes from time.
But there was a nasty sting in the tail for Cherries when James Husband snatched a late winner for Rovers in the 88th minute.
Ryan Allsop was drafted in for his Cherries debut as boss Eddie Howe made three changes to his starting line-up.
Allsop replaced Shwan Jalal between the sticks, while Shaun MacDonald and Brett Pitman were restored to the team.
Cherries made an enterprising start and twice went close to taking the lead inside the opening six minutes.
Firstly, Brett Pitman was denied by a save from Neil Sullivan, the veteran goalkeeper keeping out his close range header from a Marc Pugh cross.
And from the resultant short corner, another cross from Pugh was met by Steve Cook, the defender’s header coming back off the angle of crossbar and post.
Rovers also had a chance to draw first blood in the early stages when Allsop saved well after Chris Brown had let fly from 20 yards.
Allsop then made another decent stop in the 11th minute, the stopper diving to his left to push away David Cotterill’s angled drive.
Sullivan snaffled Grabban’s speculative long-range effort before the Cherries striker glanced a Matt Ritchie cross wide.
And Sullivan had to be at his best to tip a blistering drive from Pitman around the post, the 43-year-old getting down smartly to his right to divert the 30-yarder.
Cherries had a penalty appeal waved away after Pitman had gone to ground under a Cotterill challenge before Grabban headed straight into the arms of Sullivan following another Pugh centre.
Pitman’s free-kick at the start of the second half flashed past the upright before Cotterill’s 25-yarder was clutched by Allsop.
Cherries were rocked when Paynter opened the scoring against the run of play midway through the second half.
The Rovers targetman arrived at the near post to turn in a cross from the right by Cotterill with Allsop powerless to keep out the strike.
Grabban, set free by Pitman’s slide-rule pass and with just Sullivan to beat, saw the goalkeeper dive to his left to parry the striker’s shot as Cherries wasted a great chance to level.
Cherries drew level four minutes from time when Tubbs lifted the ball over Sullivan after Steve Fletcher’s flick had found him.
But just two minutes later, Husband finished from a tight angle to restore Doncaster’s lead and complete the scoring.

Yes we huffed and puffed and were a little unlucky, but the bottom line is that we are not good enough to go up. We cannot compete with the bully boys in this league and until EH & JT fill the side with a bunch of giants capable of grinding out results in the manner we've been on the end of recently, there is no chance we will get out of this league.
Time to plan for next season now and for EH & JT to get shot of the light weights in the squad and line up some players good enough to win this league. We have the backing so there can be no excuses next season.
Sorry if that sounds negative but there's no point keeping those rose coloured spectacles on. This season is over.

I am baffled by EH's judgement. One goal in four games and he replaces the goalkeeper! Tubbs does not even get a run of two or three games. Knee-jerk reactions is not the solution. Getting the tactics right is what we need and timely subs can make a difference.

3 points off play offs, so no, no it isn't
We've had some tough games against top teams recently and not done well, but our run in should now start to deliver points against lower teams, whilst our direct competitors have some difficult games and are playing each other, and hopefully we'll have our first choice back four together again soon.
Personally, I will keep the faith until mathematically impossible, and you can stick your regards up your brown star

With today's defeat I accept that auto promotion is now extremely unlikely, but play offs are still well on, once we get our injuries sorted.
I suspect that as I type this he is playing with himself with all the attention he is getting.
Onwards and upwards, UTCIAD!

Doncaster 83 pts
Sheffield Utd 82
Swindon 80
Yeovil 79
Bmouth 78
Brentford 77
Tranmere 76
Coventry, Walsall and Leyton Orient and perhaps MKDons all on 71
It therefore looks as though it could go down to the last game of the season and to a tussle between ourselves and Tranmere for the last play-off place, but there are quite a few variables which could change things. However we do need to start winning again very soon.
Only at the end of the season will the outcome be clear.
So keep the faith and extra training for all until we can score more freely!

Yes, we have lost for the 5th time. Realistically, the top 2 may be out of our reach if not mathmatically.
That said, we still have 27 points to play for, starting on Tuesday. Everyone around us is dropping points. Daniels and Elphick will be back before too long. We currently sit 3 points off the play offs so the season is far from over.
Looking at it from a different angle. We are safe, we're not going down and we have been safe since the start of February.

It simply isn't worth wasting another penny on them. I'm more annoyed with this pair than losing the game.
Five defeats in a row the natives are restless and deservedly so yet again we are forced to rue missed chances ,strikers who at the moment are uncapable of hitting a cows backside with a cricket bat not acceptable

Disappointing but not a total disaster. Worth running the remaining games for the leading sides through the BBC League One predictor. Based on Cherries' easier-looking run-in than most other sides and the fact that most of the others in the pack still have to play each other, it comes out something like this;-
Doncaster 83 pts
Sheffield Utd 82
Swindon 80
Yeovil 79
Bmouth 78
Brentford 77
Tranmere 76
Coventry, Walsall and Leyton Orient and perhaps MKDons all on 71

Many booed him at Orient and many did the same today.
Eddie believes in Grabbin when the rest of us think he is rubbish

The pair of them are paid good money and their roles are strikers, they are supposed to score the goals.Instead they put the ball into the crowd, just past the post, into the goalie's hands or miss kick it completely or forget to take the ball with them when running towards the goal as happened a couple of times today.The facts don't lie, 2 goals in 16 games is awful and Pitman only has a better average due to him taking all the penalties. Lets be honest any player could have taken them.

alasdair1967 wrote:Have to agree about the strikers. Grabban, 2 goals in 16 games now = crap. How many did he miss again today and Pitman is not much better. The amount of chances they wasted today cost us the match, not the goals at the other end. Drop the pair of them Eddie and send them out on loan so someone else can pay their wages. It simply isn't worth wasting another penny on them. I'm more annoyed with this pair than losing the game.
Five defeats in a row the natives are restless and deservedly so yet again we are forced to rue missed chances ,strikers who at the moment are uncapable of hitting a cows backside with a cricket bat not acceptable
I do agree with you regards Tubbs though, he's getting a raw deal and I think if he was given a decent run in the team he would score goals. He's hungry for it, the other two don't seem like they are.

Time to plan for next season now and for EH & JT to get shot of the light weights in the squad and line up some players good enough to win this league. We have the backing so there can be no excuses next season.

I am fuming tonight and missing Elphick, Daniels and Arter had nothing to do with today's defeat. So unless you were there, which we know you weren't just shut it.
Ritchie is turning in MOM performances each week, Seabourne played better than Cook today and MacDonald played his heart out.
It's up front where it's going wrong and all four of them need to take a good look at themselves tonight because its not good enough.

On does not win matches with acute injuy problems it is as simple as that.

Another defeat is on the cards at Stevenage are you ging to argue with that.

Nothing will change until Daniels, Elphick and Arter return and until we have aquired a target man up front to actually hurt the opposition. In the meantime it will be defeat after defeat after defeat.

Well done Tubbs for scoring today, perhaps he is now due a start, Pitman was largely ineffective today and Grabban seems to need too much time to get shot on goal, and he missed a sitter through n goal in the second half.

Great to see Tubbsy score with a Fletch assist (and we must persevere with playing him), Fraser and Ritchie looking good!

also, we have no divine right to be in the championship. we are up against Sheffield's and Doncaster's and Coventry's. bigger clubs than us. we have spent 2 years in the championship if my history serves me correctly? its thrilling that we are even contesting these teams! enjoy it.
.
In terms of the game's, in my opinion we have been the better team in the last 3 home ones. they have all been decided by fine margains and had some things gone marginally differently, we could have all 9 points
.
there is no pleasing some of you, we are in one of the best positions we have been in, in a long time. enjoy it and for crying out loud, GET BEHIND OUR TEAM!!!!!!!

Thomas goes out on loan to Portsmouth...he scores goals.
Thomas goes out on loan to Blackpool....he scores goals.
Thomas goes out on loan to Birmingham...ah yes I see he scored another 2 goals in the Championship today.
Meanwhile all the combinations tried up front are not working.
We have many players underperforming on huge wages and long contracts, and an £800,000 player who rarely gets in the team.
Looks a bit of a mess at the moment, and we need to get two wins this week to have a bit of momentum to take us in to the final run in.

Because the ball happened to hit his head because of an accurate pass, (there's no way he can move to the ball), doesn't make him a good, it makes him lucky.

It has nothing to do with Eddie/tactics, defence, who's missing, who's playing, TAKE YOUR CHANCES!!! Donny had about 2 and won, it says it all, not rocket science. We have lost most of these games because we are squandering FAR too many, so THAT in itself tells you we are making chances. It could be argued that Lewis makes way for Tubbs certainly. No excuses, just take the chances!!!

have you noticed howmany of our players since signing lucrative 3 year deals etc. have gone off the boil,they have got there range rovers,houses etc.they dont need to push it to hard,promotion for some would meen playing at a higher level and would find them lacking.signing Richie makes you realise the standard that is out there,and will be required in a higher devision,and as for Seabourne,what a waste of space,saints players have never done us any favors,and he,s no exception.

Whilst Ritchie gives good balls when going forward, several of his defensive balls forward were being cut out. Needs to be more careful when playing out from the back.
Front pair needs refreshing - Tubbs in
for Grabban (on basis Pitman more likely to scrore out of the two).
Would love a 90 min target man, but we have not got one, but Fletch today did create the goal for Tubbs and for final 15 minute push keeps his place on the bench.
Back four is dictated by injuries - unless painter has had time to learn our ways and come in as a competent defender.
Thought Seabourne did well today against another man mountain, both goals coming from either wing.
McDonald will gain fitness and do well as a result.
At present we are in a fight for 6th place, anything more a bonus. Still think that is possible - if Tubbs can get a couple to give us momentum again.
Deflated this afternoon - but we will come again. UTCIAD

we had several chances (our fault not to score though) , hit the woodwork twice, handball at the end etc whilst an average donkysized Donny side scored twice without even knowing why.
i agree the defence is very shaky but everything is going wrong at the moment for us.

i think we've blown it now. 5 games ago everyone was certain we were going up (including me). the worse part about this abysmal run is there's been some massive 6 pointers and I am sure Howe has never experienced such a poor run as a manager, does he have the experience to turn it around? on the bright side we have some excellent players and a very good manager and a rich part owner for next season

WHY???
Surely you must see that if they had no audience they would soon give up
You are just feeding them and I'm fed up of sifting through these arguments - it's just embarrassing

Sorry to say it but we can forget automatic promotion now and probably the play-offs too.
Yes we huffed and puffed and were a little unlucky, but the bottom line is that we are not good enough to go up. We cannot compete with the bully boys in this league and until EH & JT fill the side with a bunch of giants capable of grinding out results in the manner we've been on the end of recently, there is no chance we will get out of this league.
Time to plan for next season now and for EH & JT to get shot of the light weights in the squad and line up some players good enough to win this league. We have the backing so there can be no excuses next season.
Sorry if that sounds negative but there's no point keeping those rose coloured spectacles on. This season is over.

A good relalstic post.

When last did you go to a home match?

However, i will be down in Bournemouth at the end of May this year but unfortuntely the season will be over by then.

However, i will enjoy my evenings out in Castillos Italian restaurant on the Landsdowne, I thoroughly reccommend it.

Its the way you seem to relish your posts.
You seem arrogant & rather up yourself?
Also I recall you a month or two ago, saying that you had been to a recent match?
As for some of the comments from others.Typical of what you expect.Not so long ago Grabban was 'Bes striker in League' & Pitman the proverbial 'Prodigal Son'.
Talk about 'Fickle fans'.
We can still go up & I fancy a Wembley trip! COYRIAD

WHY IS THAT YOU AND ONE OR TWO OTHERS FAIL TO SEE IT.??

On does not win matches with acute injuy problems it is as simple as that.

Another defeat is on the cards at Stevenage are you ging to argue with that.
.
Nothing will change until Daniels, Elphick and Arter return and until we have aquired a target man up front to actually hurt the opposition. In the meantime it will be defeat after defeat after defeat.

I can categorically say to you that I do NOT take pleasure from this stuation at all.

It just annoys me whenyou peole cannot see what is staring you in the face.

After the opening 30mins we seem to run out of attacking ideas,far to many passes around the box someone be brave enough to shoot.
O'Kane never stopped working Saturday and looked hungry for it, unlike alot of the rest of the team
Suming up Poor defensivly , Poor up front.
