Cherries: Groves can match Harry's glory says Hughes (From Bournemouth Echo)

Obviously another 'yes man' reading a comment prepared by Mitchell.

it's one win in how many matches? let's stop going over the top every time we win one game, we are still 15th in the league in what is supposed to be our procession to the championship, another over the top expectation! More interesting will be our line up and performance next week, we have had a poor record of putting back to back results together unless they are draws, also will Tubbs finally get his chance? and if not why not, I would like Groves to explain to us all why he keeps overlooking our records signing!!

....what else could Hughes say about Harry and the result. On Fri I said that by he Law of Averages we were due a win! It was a spectacular goal by Hughes, there's no doubting that but the missed chances, again, has got to say something about Groves's ability to teach/motivate our forwards.
Our young lads, playing on a training pitch in Kings Park v Pompey on Sat., missed some chances and despite the fact that they were playing against lads much older and experienced than themselves it was a wonderful game to watch, so all credit to our lads who ran out 3-1 winners...brill.

What I want to know is why Groves replaced Josh Mquid with Wes Tho-miss, who has completely lost his goal scoring touch, and left Matt Tubbs on the bench? It doesn't make any sense unless Tubbs is on his way out of the club. I think the lad has been treated disgracefully and I hear from a couple of people who know him that he feels the same way and that if he's not going to get a game here that he will need to move on.
Dumb and Dumber OUT.

Agreed Tubbs needs to start! It is a disgrace, send Thomas out on loan to league 2 to build his confidence!

GROVES OUT!!!

15 in league yet only 2 points from play off positions so not exactly a crisis is it ,stated yesterday that the noose is still around groves neck ,let's put knee jerk assessments on hold and see where we are at end of the month

An unchanged team for two games in a row and in which the team has played well, interesting to see what happens with O'kane back and Lee Barnard fit - will he change the team? Agree entirely about Tubbs, if he is not to be given a chance - let him go - Saturday would have been a good opportunity to play him - Thomas is devoid of confidence at this time and couldn't hit a barn door at the moment. It's time too, to get players whose faces either don't fit or are surplus to requirements out on loan, I make it about eight who would benefit from playing on a regular basis. Delighted that we won on Saturday, but it is just one game - the coming fixtures aren't too daunting, let's see whether Groves can take advantage of this and build on the win and string a run together, he wont get a better chance.

Right again SOC, in my mind I'd always had the end of Oct as the time to see whether Groves was the right man for the job or not, although with the first few games showing little change from his tenure as Caretaker I felt enough was enough. Saturday's win does make a difference as I never expected it, in which case we'd of been in the bottom few. Ofcause it's early days, I've always said I'd hope Groves would prove me wrong, I still do and we should have a much clearer view come a few weeks, especially with hopefully some of the walking wounded coming back.

thanks for letting us know the result of the youth game, something which even our own club website continually fails to do

Behave Mitchell & Hughes - Groves Out

HUGHES YOUR IN DISNEY LAND - BEHAVE YOURSELF LAD

Can someone explain to me how the result of football matches are decided by the law of averages? If that was the case, then what would be the point of watching football? What would be the point of a league where all teams finished on almost the same points every season because by the law of averages they would all win, draw and lose around about the same?

Pass me the sick bag!! Dumb n dumber out!!

I am sorry to say this, but Tubbs is NOT league one material and personally I would not play him either. I belive we should shipo him out for a reasonable fee.
.
I have seen him on a number of occasions and no disrespect to the lad, but for me and a number of other folks i'm quite sure, he is simply not up to it.
.
Quite simply if he was worth his salt he would be in the team.

Sorry, how on earth can you say Tubbs is not League 1 material or "up to it"..... he`s never been given a bleedin chance to prove it one way or the other. So, are you saying Thom-miss IS up to league one standard then (1 goal in 25 games?). Yet again on Saturday there was a great opportunity to give Tubbs that chance..... and Groves brings on Thom-miss who (inevitably) lives up to his nick name on two occasions!

Indeed.People will soon change their tune if we start winning...or will they? Now Harrys around Im sure Groves is in a catch 22.If we win games It'll be cause of Harrys influence.Im not keen on Groves, but we do seem o be gradually going te right way.We obviously make plenty of chances & I thought against Sheffeld we played great for periods.We need to put these chances awa.Im puzzled as to why Tubbs not been played? Spend all that money only to leave him on the bench? Wonder if the right offer comesin he'll be gone? I think we paid too much fr him myself.

To be fair on Groves,Hughes has been a great signing,even thogh most thought 'Why?'.

Lets see how we're doing when we hit the 10 game mark & then assess Bill & Ben!

Glad part of your recent predictions fell apart at the seams on Saturday afternoon believe your right re Tubbs but some see him as the saviour and the instant answer to perceived issues, 2 positive displays within a week lets see if the momentum can be carried forward before more knee jerk comments

No one can make a judgment on a player (Tubbs in this case) if he does not have the chance to play and play to the style of football that would give him the chance of scoring goals. He was playing for a team that got promoted so by definition he was amongst players of the right caliber. Just because the style (I have yet to fathom) played by PG does not suit Tubbs it not fair to say that he should be sold at the earliest opportunity because we all know that at the hands of the right manager he could be a prolific goal scorer.

SHMINTO you have been making a lot of sense but your latest views on Tubbs are way out given the fact that we have a record on signing players that are goal-scorers elsewhere and soon become unable to find the goalposts when playing for us, speaks volume

Charlie Austin wasn't League One material when Swindon stole him from us, and if Tubbs is as useless as you'd have us believe, how the heck do you expect us to get "a reasonable fee" for him. If he had been given the opportunities Wes Thomas has had so far this season, he'd already have at least 5 goals to his name.

You're wrong, he's worse than that.

Tubbs should be given a chance and bringing him on at Yeovil would of been great but our odd manager otherwise. We played some super football on Saturday and Fogden is just so enthusiastic it has a great effect on the team as a whole. McQuoid looks sharp and very keen. Let's keep it going!!!

Can't see Edmund admitting his boy got it wrong with what we paid for Tubbs. Could well see Tubbs go out on loan to get some match time.

If there was no chance of Tubbs coming on at Yeovil, I'm surprised he never featured as an over age player in today's development squad game with Forest Green Rovers.

i agree and hartlepool are a bit of a bogy side at dean court think we will prevail just,prob 1-0 or 2-1 mainly bc of the happy harry inflluence which changed our luck at yeovil,think we may have only drawn this game if he hadnt travelled on the coach,or been there-steve howard c.f. is the main danger to us centre foreward,james is a 17 year old striker usually on their bench being watched by half the premier league, austin right bk is suspended so may be a cue for pugh to come bk or be brought on 2nd half -pity lee barnard will be out for 2-3 weeks he is a natural goal scorer,all the more reason why tubbs should come on if only from the bench saturday,especially with thomas so shot shy,tubbs would put awaythose one on ones thats what he is good at!

i noticed that brentford missed 5 one on ones v colchester sat and hit the post and bar but eventually got a 90th minte winner! so we arent the only ones!

no we must keep tubbsy,hewill gethis chance im sure maybe sat v hartlepool think he is more likeiy tobscore than thomas is we must keep him,also it would be a waste of a huge fee we would be the losers in this £800,000

They seem to manage to stick new batteries in the players and then switch them on to spout bouquets daily for the clan! Then PRAVDA here prints the BS.Never seen so many stories singing the praises of the dynamic duo , PG now can walk on water, just amazing !

Who said anything about a crisis? and what's with telling me not to have a knee jerk reaction? my comment is far from a knee jerk reaction if anything it's the opposite!! I am saying don't go over the top!! Did you bother to read my post or just pick one line and react to that? I would call that a knee jerk reaction myself! fact still remains we have only won 3 times since Groves took over, so there is plenty to be concerned about!!

Pair of bum licking puppets. No doubt employed by Mitchell

I watched the game the other night and thought Bournemouth played very good football, they will certainly be looking for promotion come the end of the season.
The manager seems to know what he is doing, Remember Tubbs was bought by another manager not Groves so he obviously doesnt fit into his game plan. Let the man do his job.
I'm amazed by the negative comments on this site, if you cant get behind your team in good times and bad you are not a supporter. At the moment i cant see much going wrong.
Remember you can't win all the battles but you can certainly win the war. (promotion) Football fans are so fickle some times, try and bring some of the olympic spirit into the club, enjoy yourselves, you have a very good team, believe me, Harry is not putting his h'penny in for nothing, he wants to see the lads get promoted too.
How many matches have they lost and they certainly wont lose many either.

Try aiming your homosexual coments at your own kind, you disgusting pervert.
I'm sure some of your "boyfriends" would be more interested.
