Wadley's Verdict: Stevenage 0 Cherries 1

BACK ON TRACK: Eddie Howe salutes the travelling fans BACK ON TRACK: Eddie Howe salutes the travelling fans

BRETT Pitman converted a first-half penalty as Cherries got their promotion push back on track tonight amid angry late scenes at Broadhall Way.

The Cherries frontman struck the winner on 38 minutes after Stevenage keeper Steve Arnold had controversially been deemed to have felled Eunan O’Kane.

Cherries looked comfortable against a poor Boro outfit despite twice being forced into reshuffles as they lost both Matt Ritchie and his replacement Ryan Fraser to injury.

Stevenage never really looked like seriously testing Cherries stopper Ryan Allsop as Eddie Howe’s men successfully ended their five-match losing streak.

In a dramatic finale out of character with the uneventful clash, Boro defender Darius Charles was sent off after receiving a second yellow following a challenge on midfielder Harry Arter.

The clash sparked furious confrontations on the pitch and touchline and resulted in Arter becoming the third Cherries player forced off with injury.

Cherries’ victory appeared to have come at a heavy cost as the midfielder departed on a stretcher but boss Howe later confirmed that Arter’s leg injury was not as bad as first feared, while Fraser had sustained a knock and Ritchie a gashed head.

Howe, bidding to end Cherries’ run of losses, had recalled Arter following his two-match ban and he also drafted in Wes Fogden, with Shaun MacDonald and Josh McQuoid named on the bench.

Stevenage, on the back of 12 defeats in their past 15 matches, started well enough and Lucas Akins almost caught Cherries cold on a bitter evening as he lashed a long-range strike narrowly wide.

But as the match wore on, Boro looked devoid of confidence for long periods as Cherries, particularly in the opening 45 minutes, displayed a calmness which belied their recent record.

The Dorset outfit should have found themselves in front in the 16th minute. When O’Kane flicked a Ritchie ball into Pitman’s path, Cherries’ mercurial frontman showed excellent vision to send Lewis Grabban clear. But after taking time to compose himself, the club’s leading scorer shot too close to Arnold who blocked with his outstretched left leg.

While Stevenage offered little going forward, Cherries dictated possession without carving out a host of clear-cut opportunities.

Ritchie tested Arnold from range as he unleashed a powerful 20-yarder following Pitman’s quick free-kick.

However, that proved to be the former Swindon star’s last act as he was substituted after a nasty clash of heads with Miguel Comminges.

Already without first-choice left-back Charlie Daniels, Cherries had to reshuffle with Fogden deputising and teenage winger Fraser introduced on the right wing.

Despite the change, the visitors took a deserved lead on 38 min utes, albeit in controversial circumstances. Referee Lee Collins felt the wrath of the home faithful when he opted to point to the spot after the charging O’Kane had been felled by Arnold after chipping a shot over the onrushing keeper.

After lengthy protests, cool customer Pitman calmly slotted home as Arnold committed himself far too early.

Greg Tansey, doing his best Jonny Wilkinson impression as he lined up a free-kick, fired straight at Allsop as out-of-form Stevenage struggled before the interval.

Boro began the second half at a higher tempo and immediately attempted to force Cherries on to the back foot.

And Cherries were grateful to Steve Cook for keeping them in front as the stand-in skipper produced a fine clearance off the line after Akins had headed a Tansey free-kick towards goal.

Tansey and Luke Freeman failed to find the target from range as Boro continued to press for a leveller.

Cherries boss Howe was again required to juggle his resources when Fraser limped off 20 minutes into the second half. Richard Hughes was tasked with utilising his vast experience by shielding the back four, with Grabban moving to the right and Pitman leading the line on his own.

While also providing some welcome touches of class, Pitman set the tone from the front with his work-rate and hold-up play.

Happy to soak up pressure with Stevenage offering very little, Cherries were rock-solid in defence with Fogden particularly impressive in his unfamiliar role.

Grabban fired wide from 20 yards before Charles was dismissed for his part in the late flashpoint. Pitman was booked for his reaction to the incident as Arter was carried off.

However, Cherries managed to coolly play out time without any major scares to end their winless run and enhance their promotion prospects.

So where are all those fans so keen to post when Afcb lose, why not celebrate the win here. Given all the s*** thrown at players and management, great to see the cherries put in a professional display against a very physical Stevenage team. The defence was resolute and looked in no mood to concede. At times the approach seemed more to kill the game at 1:0 but we had additional chances. The fact we suffered three more injuries but the team still won speaks volumes. Plenty to work on, not least upfront, but this will boost confidence. Table looking good again !!!

Good win boys and other results going our way gives us another sniff at the play-offs! The only worry is up front, we need to be scoring in open play but maybe this is the confidence booster we needed. Good crowd last night but bl00dy cold took 1/2hr in the car with the heater going full-blast until I could feel my fingers!!!

Well done to the lads for the three points gained last night agreed shim into your silence is deafening you have been quick enough to GLOAT recently when the team have lost and proved your predictions right yet you don't have the decency to congratulate the team when they win ,24 points to play for and having looked at the league table I m of the opinion the final positions will not be decided until the very last match of the season

Great to be waking up again after a win, much better feeling, also very pleasing that we had the fight to beat a tough physical team, a team I am happy to say I said we would win against! the stats do speak for themselves this season. I am stunned by the lack of posts after a win compared to the number we get after a loss, funny how some queue up to knock us but never post when we win, you all know who you are!! Still at least it leaves the site for us real fans who are really pleased for the team even if it was at the cost of 3 injured players, also Foggy you might just have found another position!! well done lad!!

One other valid point by the way, no matter what happens in the last 8 games, we have already had a better season than the last one, well done to the managers and players for that, now let's see where we can get with the remaining games!!

Good to be back on track and in winning ways.

I turned down the volume on the TV as I watched Barca V AC Milan and listened to Radio Solent's commentary, the weirdest of experience I must say!!

I do not wish to dampen our joy for winning but not sooner the Commentator said Grabban is on the ball he said Grabban has just lost possession or he has hit the ball wide or misplaced his pass etc. Give Tubbs a go and rest Grabban for a game or two. UTCIAD

Well done lads.A good solid team effort last night.The remaining games are all going to be like cup finals as i see it.If the team stick together and put in the work rate like last night i wont be worried.Feeling strangely confident this morning despite our injuries.Upwards and Onwards boscombe...GET IN THERE!!!

Well done to the whole team and management! Sounded like a hard earnt win.

Doesn't matter how we win now just keep picking up points.

Maybe Fogden is the answer at left back? He gives 110 percent every game.

First to post on Saturday but now nothing from Shim-onto? Troll status proven!

Great away result boys with the next few games definitely winnable as well. Just a worry about the knocks we took in getting those 3 points though. Let's hope the boys are OK and we can regain our momentum and push on to challenge for an automatic spot - it's still a possibility - UTC!

I am not much of a grabban fan and for most of the game he was poor but felt his confidence grew in the last ten minutes or so after a snapshot over the bar and a neat run. Perhaps his confidence will grow now? I do like Tubbs though,

We still seem to be lacking "Fire Power" around the penalty box, and surely that is worrying? A little more "snap" shooting might pay dividends!

Your last line is what they call "a statement of the bleedin' obvious."
There's still a long way to go, and there will be plenty more surprises yet. Lots of fixtures involving 2 of the sides in the mix with us, so they will all drop points, but it is a bit worrying about the shortage of goals.

Shame about our injuries, but hopefully not too bad.
How do match officials justify their presence when teams behave like Boro did last night?

A great result. Keeps us in the mix. Shame about Ritchie and Arter. I hope they are both back on Saturday. I know some people on here criticise Arter, but I like the fact that he and Ritchie are both prepared to shoot from a distance. It can pay off. Good to see that Brett put in a shift. Maybe some people on here will get off his back now. Roll on Saturday and another 3 points to keep the momentum going.

Can't believe people can still criticise. We had a dip in form but that was always gonna happen. Watch the same thing happen to Yeovil now and the wheels are coming off for Tranmere. Big game on Saturday but another win and we'll be back on track!!! As long as we get in the play-offs and avoid Sheffield united over two legs, I'll be fairly confident

A welcome three points last night and only an idiot would imply otherwise. So well done to side and for their efforts. Thank God !!

However, we should put things into perspective, we once have again failed to score from open play against poor opposition.

it must be depressing in your world. Worried about the injuries? or maybe you should say ' lets hope this gives the guys confidence again' always looking for a negative even with a win. I dont care if we win like that every week. all we want is 3 points every game, who cares if its from set pieces or not! And i see its all getting tight at the top again, or did you not want to mention that bit either!

I am happy we won last night and about time.
However we played a very poor side and we scored from a penalty Only!

Grabban was Again very poor and yet is still playing?

No one has come in on loan when its obvious we are lacking up front!

I really hope I am wrong but something isnt right at the club at the moment.
The ambition seems to have being replaced by saving money.

We might limp into the play offs but ..................

The Punch & Judy show is back in town folks. Roll up roll up make sure you get the front seats!!!

The biggest problem with digging holes is that the deeper you dig the harder it is to get out!! Keep it shallow for a quick get out and don't try to explain your way out of it because it only makes matters worse.

Everything was fine on here when I checked before taking my two year old grandson out for a bus ride. I come back and if by magic it all flares up again!!

Up the mighty Cherries three more points on Saturday no matter how many goals get scored and who scores them.

Now just look at the idiotic reponses received. Just unbelievable. The mind just boggles.

My dear friend you seem to attract flak like bees to honey (I hope I got that adage correctly!) the best solution I can put forward is for both sides to skip each other's posts and say what you want to say without referring to each other.

Unless I am much mistaken world wars start with intransigence and the inability to back off.

I don't blame you any more than I would blame those who try to take you to task (I include me in that because I have done it in the past!).

Let us agree to disagree and live another day. Life is far too short to waste it on passing matters such as a game of football and all that.

My best wishes

I don't normally post on here but, smhinto, please just shut up. I feel embarrassed for you. Do you ever leave your computer?

I was at the game supporting the team last night - great away following. 'Boro were very poor and we dominated the game, especially first half. I actually thought both Grabs and Pitman put in a shift and we could have scored a hatful of goals in the last 2 games - at least we're creating chances.

You can imagine my shock, awe and wonderment at how retarded the sad 'Prophet of Doom' from Lincoln is!

He claimed he couldn't post a message due to a 'fight' between Mansfield and Grimsby fans yet when we lost a couple of weeks ago he was pretty quick in posting a 'gloating' message from Northampton. Pathetic.

Prior to the match last night, I had hoped for 3 things; 3 points, a clean sheet and for us to score more than 1 goal. Well, I guess 2 out of 3 ain't bad!!

Up the Cherries!!

Well done to the lads for the three points gained last night agreed shim into your silence is deafening you have been quick enough to GLOAT recently when the team have lost and proved your predictions right yet you don't have the decency to congratulate the team when they win ,24 points to play for and having looked at the league table I m of the opinion the final positions will not be decided until the very last match of the season
There was no gloating in the first place. I take no pleasure from our past recent results. it is merely your stupid interpretation of my posts
.
Could not post last night as I was trying to get past the idiots fighting at the Mansfield v Grimsby game. Had to go there to run the rule over a centre half, who keeps blowing hot and cold though.
.
A welcome three points last night and only an idiot would imply otherwise. So well done to side and for their efforts. Thank God !!
.
However, we should put things into perspective, we once have again failed to score from open play against poor opposition.
.
But three points is three points so we should be grateful.
.
Just worried about the injuries last night and wondering what sort of side we will put out at Oldham on Saturday. They will be fighting for their lives. So we need everybody fit or we will cop it.
.
Regards
You can all imagine my surprise, shock, awe and wonderment can't you.
.
Season over.
.
Everybody around us has won.
.
I refer you all to my posts on Thursday and Friday.
.
Serves you all right to those who argued with me..
.
My thanks to you who along with me saw the light.
.
Next season is now our only hope.
.
Regards to all

Mmmgh you where like a rat up a drain pipe to ensure you got this comment in the second we lost weren't you,if this is not gloating then what is
season over my backside with 24 points still to play for it does not take the brains of an archbishop to work out that mathematically we could still get automatic promotion if not promoted as champions so until it is mathematically impossible I will remain positive

REGARDS !!!!!!!!

The team wins we get what is it now at time of writing this post this will be round about the 47 comment team lose and there are 113 comments if only those who scoff at our defeats would have the common decency to congratulate the team on there victory

Never stopped believing and truly convinced we can still be champions as there were explainations for our poor run and as long as our luck has turned then with the quality of players we have we can finish on top,Im really looking forward to the next home game as it could be a hiding for Bury,Im proud to be a cherries fan and even though my 2nd game was all those years ago against liverpool in the FA cup
(Dean court rocked with 29,000 fans)
The excitement and anticipation is still the same.
COME ON BOURNEMOUTH

I just hope that the injuries sustained last night do not imbalance the team for any length of time. I am afraid that it is looking like we are very lightweight and not up to bullying big teams. So pleased for 3 points last nightand a clean sheet pleasedfor Allsop lets hope he takes his chance. We definately need Charlie Daniels and our captain back for the run in otherwise I can see us missing out
