BOSS Scott Parker admitted Cherries “need some help” in the transfer market before the window slams shut.

The head coach was speaking after his side slumped to a 1-0 defeat to Hull City at Vitality Stadium.

Cherries have already brought in Ethan Laird and James Hill during this window, the latter of which was an unused substitute against the Tigers.

Asked whether he expected a busy week in the market, Parker told the Daily Echo: “I think we need some help in that.

“Look, we are a very young squad and we have done incredibly well to put ourselves in the position we are in.

“But I think it’s fair to say there’s elements in certain positions where we just need a little bit of help, quality and hopefully this next week or so we will be able to do that.”
