Cherries: Leaders downed in Howe's first game back (with video)
4:59pm Saturday 20th October 2012 in Sport
By Neil Perrett
A STIRRING second-half comeback saw Cherries mark the return of boss Eddie Howe with a deserved victory over League One leaders Tranmere today.
The Wirralsiders’ unbeaten start to the season was dismantled inside 21 minutes as Howe’s men ran riot to climb out of the bottom four.
Marc Pugh’s deflected free-kick after 51 minutes started the ball rolling and cancelled out Jake Jervis’s first-half opener for the visitors.
Harry Arter fired Cherries into the lead with stunning strike after 58 minutes before Simon Francis completed the scoring with another thumping drive in the 72nd minute.
New Cherries boss Howe made two changes to his first starting line-up with Arter and Josh McQuoid both drafted in.
The pair came in for Richard Hughes, sidelined for between four to six weeks with a hamstring injury, and Eunan O’Kane, who dropped down to the bench.
Tranmere, runaway leaders of League One, handed a debut to new loan signing Jervis, who joined on the eve of the clash from Birmingham.
Cherries went close to drawing first blood after seven minutes when, following a slick passing move, McQuoid almost got on the end of a tantalising cross from Charlie Daniels.
Goalkeeper David James had to be on his toes to save from Jervis after the loan striker had met with a low volley an Adam McGurk free kick.
Lee Barnard’s flicked header was helped over the crossbar by Rovers goalkeeper Owain fon Williams before McGurk’s rasping drive soared over the top.
The visitors took the lead in the 39th minute when Jake Cassidy got the better of Miles Addison before teeing up Jervis who swept the ball past James from around 10 yards.
Cherries levelled six minutes after the restart when Pugh’s free-kick found the back of the net with Rovers defender Ben Gibson possibly applying the final touch.
And Howe’s men took the lead just seven minutes later when Arter rifled home a second from the edge of the box following good work by McQuoid.
As Cherries went in search of a third, McQuoid’s first-time effort flashed past the post before fon Williams scrambled across his line to save from substitute Matt Tubbs.
Fon Williams was powerless to stop Francis adding a third in the 73rd minute, the defender’s thunderous drive whistling past the Rovers goalkeeper en route to the bottom corner.
Cherries: James, Francis, Elphick, Addison, Daniels, Grabban (Tubbs, 62), MacDonald, Arter (Partington, 80), Pugh, McQuoid (McDermott, 86), Barnard.
Unused subs: Fletcher, Cook, O’Kane, Jalal (g/k).
Booked: Francis, Arter, Pugh, Partington, Daniels.
Rovers: fon Williams, Holmes, Gibson, Taylor, Bakayogo, McGurk, Wallace, Palmer, Bell-Baggie (Thompson 89), Jervis (Black, 73), Cassidy.
Unused subs: Harrison, Stockton, Power, Kay, Mooney (g/k).
Attendance: 6,233 (including 351 visiting supporters).

Now for the game I saw today. A certain captain needs to watch his steps because based on the first half performance he could well see his name missing from the team sheet.
The only thing I can think of is that EH & JT must have said to the lads ‘go and win the f……g game for me or none of you will see their name on the team sheet.
When they came out in the second half they were a different team that together with the continuous chanting of ‘Eddie Howe’s Barmy Army’ worked wonders.
PS SMHINTO if you thought I take the Fizz out of you just wait until the rest, you have been accusing of not knowing anything about football, start on here!!

Six points from last two games already lifts us up to 18th place in the league,proving that at this early stage of the season there is time to continue our improved form and gives Eddie and Jason the opportunity to assess the very large squad.
Patience is a virtue, and we must accept that, but we are very much happier with our prospects, after a long period of anxiety. Good luck lads!!!

Well done lads !!! - wouldn't have missed that for the world.
Just one neg - I have the same concerners as afc-mark about our captain - looked like a similar mistake to the one he made at Coventry which cost us the game. As a loyal Cherries fan, for 40 years, I'm also a very happy one again tonight. Up The Chrries In ALL Departments.

The second half was a typical Eddie Howe performance of two seasons ago. Momentum is the main word for me, no matter how the opposition are playing - or how shaky our defence is(!), they are attacking constantly, so the opposition never get a chance. Pacy wingers, tough tackling midfielders. Dean Court was rocking like it never did under Groves or Bradbury.
It's far from complete, the second half showed that. But if the defence can be sorted (drop Addison is the key for me), we have a great team on our hands. Maybe promotion is out of reach this season, but if all players can stay (please Eddie, speak to Pughie) we're looking good for next season.

Those who moaned at us for staying away should be thanking us today because our absence in the knowledge of what an abysmal choice Groves was has force the Cherries administration to get a real manager back.
Well done Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall what a fab result. Yet again you have taken the same resources as the previous manager and shown just what can be done and how dire the previous incumbent was.
I was unable to get to the game due to work commitments but with the great atmosphere that Eddie and Jasons' football creates you can guarantee I will be back watch some real football real soon.
Well done Max Demin for putting his foot down and forcing the dithering Mitchells to get their act together.

You yourself said it was Groves inability to produce a winning team. Its just that some us knew he had this inability before the club wasted its money and your time and mine by giving him a job.
Please can you tell me in which way the squad differs today under Eddie Howe than the it did three weeks ago under Paul Groves?
By not withdrawing your attendance under Groves abysmal stewardship you were condoning where he was leading us. Blind support is all very well but what would it have taken before that blind support realised we were going the wrong way? Relegation?
Now we have a manager that we can all get behind because we know he is good and won't produce dross week in and week out.
At last we can be united in our support of the Cherries. Come on Eddie and Jason. The beautiful game is back at Dean Court

You may well be right when you say that it was those that did go and shouted Groves out, that got him the sack. But Mitchell showed no intentions whatever of bowing to that demand until Max Demin lost it with him in their private box. A row which was so voluble that many others in that part of the stand could hear it.

Nothing worries those who actually put money into the club more than falling attendances so perhaps we can agree that maybe we both in our own ways brought about the much needed demise of Paul Groves.
The main thing is now that we have a manager we can all believe in and once more all the supporters of the club can be united.

I'm proud to say that I stuck to my promise of not going to Dean Court whilst Paul Groves was manager.

Those who moaned at us for staying away should be thanking us today because our absence in the knowledge of what an abysmal choice Groves was has force the Cherries administration to get a real manager back.
Well done Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall what a fab result. Yet again you have taken the same resources as the previous manager and shown just what can be done and how dire the previous incumbent was.
I was unable to get to the game due to work commitments but with the great atmosphere that Eddie and Jasons' football creates you can guarantee I will be back watch some real football real soon.

You yourself said it was Groves inability to produce a winning team. Its just that some us knew he had this inability before the club wasted its money and your time and mine by giving him a job.
Please can you tell me in which way the squad differs today under Eddie Howe than the it did three weeks ago under Paul Groves?
By not withdrawing your attendance under Groves abysmal stewardship you were condoning where he was leading us. Blind support is all very well but what would it have taken before that blind support realised we were going the wrong way? Relegation?
Now we have a manager that we can all get behind because we know he is good and won't produce dross week in and week out.
At last we can be united in our support of the Cherries. Come on Eddie and Jason. The beautiful game is back at Dean Court

Credit to the manager and players....i can not think of a bad performance. Great credit to Miles Addison who after 2 bad mistakes in 10 seconds which gifted Tranmere their goal....and his head visibly dropped....gathered himself and never made another mistake the whole game. Francis had another excellent game and what a strike for his goal. The midfield worked hard and passed with purpose.....movement off the ball was good and collective defending much improved. David James made 2 top class saves at the end, although one of them was from an offside effort.
Tranmere were a decent side and would have definitely beaten us 2 weeks ago, particularly after we went a goal down. Something has changed!!!

But I'm still ready for set backs, it can't always be as easy as today, even with the referee siding with them much of the time....
Did anyone take my advice last week and get a bet on Bournemouth to be promoted at 16/1 because after todays performance those odds look a steal

The information was taken from a publication "Up The Cherries" by Tony Pullein, "The Complete Story of Bournemouth and Boscombe F.C. (1899-1959). I have had this book since 1959 when it first came out.

There is a possibility that those who accuse us of treachery do so because they had bought their season ticket and there was very little they could do to show their disapproval other than demonstrate as they did. Whatever the answer/view we should be very glad that we are where we are today whatever the influence that was brought to bear.
