So how do you come up with your answer or is it a poor excuse.
Matt Ritchie will always have the red blood of STFC in him and remember that.

They are fighting for their lives and on paper it looks like three points, but we have to keep it tight and do a disciplined, professional job on them and win ugly if we have to.
.
They are bouyed by a win on Tuesday. They have players who will be playing for contracts and will have young players out to prove themselves to the manager and maybe they are already resigned to going down so they will play without fear.
.
We have to be on our guard, look sharp and for Christ's sake we must not let them get their noses in front, if they do we will face an uphill battle. .
.
Bearing in mind the pressure in on us and not them as they are playing away from home and have nothing to lose.
.
I always remember Stoke City a few years ago who needed a point to secure promotion to the Champiomnship and lost at home to Hartlepool who were already relagated. i.e Pools played without fear.
.
Here's to a postive result on Saturday.

TedMac - i thought the mighty Bournemouth with all your russian money were the dogs do da's with all your big money signings so saying you are lacking resources is nonsense as EH said he needs to trim the squad.
So how do you come up with your answer or is it a poor excuse.

We have had a couple of key players injured coinciding with our bad run and as Matt is a versatile player he's helped us where needed, that is not an excuse if he was the best option at the time.
Finally should Mr RichTea truly have the Romany blood of STFC in him I shall be watching out for any match-fixing moves from him when we next play you ;-]

Very best of luck to you Matt. I hope you go onto win it. Always gave 100% at Swindon, probabily our best all round player. He was placed under awful pressure when we had to sell him and has come through the entire ordeal with total professionalism. Just goes to confirm his true worth!. I'm sure he is giving everything for his new club- no matter where he is being played.

Wages may be another story but then its not cheap to live in a nice area like this so, like many of our signings, Ritchie will have needed a pay rise given he was making a huge move up in the world.

As for Matt, he'll have to earn his place alongside Wes Fogden and Ryan Fraser. Foggy has done nothing to warrent dropping.
