I LIKE many others thought the appointment of Jason Tindall was a backward step from Cherries.

Well JT, I owe you an apology.

Your application to the manager’s job has been both surprising and refreshing and now the club is sitting in the top six of the Championship. Early days, but well done JT, a great start.

Losing 10 Premier League players was never going to be easy but the squad has adapted to a new direction and the early indications are really positive.

I wish you continued success for the season.
