BOSS Scott Parker believes Cherries’ comeback win against Blackpool will serve as a reminder to other Championship clubs that his side are never “going to be out of games.”

Cherries looked to be heading to defeat at Bloomfield Road as they trailed Blackpool 1-0, thanks to a sublime Josh Bowler strike. A missed Dom Solanke penalty in the first-half appeared to have been Cherries’ only clear cut chance of the match, before late strikes from Jamal Lowe and Siriki Dembele snatched the three points in a 2-1 win.

It was the first time since the start of October that Cherries had come from a losing position to win, with their last victory in such circumstances coming in the 2-1 defeat of Sheffield United.

Speaking after the game, boss Scott Parker stated: “I think it is a big win, definitely.

“It's a big win for many reasons, obviously three points of course.

“But it's a big win to illustrate to these players that never from when that whistle blows at the start, to the whistle blowing at the end, we're ever going to be out of games.

“You can't let heads drop, you need to keep doing what you do.

“I was pleased with that. Under these conditions, I thought the way we played today was superb.

“I thought in terms of playing through the lines, a constant threat, we had our moments and I thought we were very, very good.”

The first period saw Cherries miss a penalty before falling behind to a fantastic effort from Bowler, which Parker predicts will be goal of the month.

“First half, we settled into the game very well under difficult conditions,” the ex-Fulham manager continued.

“We missed a penalty, which is obviously disappointing and then they've scored a goal, which is arguably the goal of the month, in terms of the boy (Josh) Bowler scored an unbelievable goal.”

Parker revealed he was relatively pleased with his side’s first half performance, stating that at half-time he told his charges to stick to their guns.

“I think what pleased me the most, I said it half time to the lads, there's been many times this year I've stepped in at half-time and said there's certain things I don't like.

“But, I liked a lot about us in the first half and I knew that we needed to stick to our way and we did that very, very well.

“That game today is not luck, that you go and win the game late on.

“That's the consequences of what you've done to that point really, in terms of working them, stressing them, putting work in their legs to make them a little bit more tired.

“And in the end, you have the quality and also you have a fighting spirit that you never give up and you win the game.”
