NEWLY-appointed boss Jimmy Quinn will demand a "no blame, no excuse culture" from his Cherries squad.

Quinn takes the reigns for the first time tomorrow when Cherries look to break their League Two duck at Notts County.

He enjoyed a watching brief as Cherries turned on the style to see off Bristol Rovers in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy on Tuesday.

And Quinn is hoping his new charges can build on their impressive midweek display as they go in search of precious league points at Meadow Lane.

He said: "The first thing I said when I went into the dressing room before the game on Tuesday was from here on in, I don't care what happened before, it's a no blame, no excuse culture'.

"We don't blame anybody, we stick together. If we win, we'll win together and, if we lose, we'll move forward. I'm not one for picking fault with everything if you lose. You've got to put it behind you and move on.

"If you need to improve in certain areas, you work on it on the training field and get better that way. It's about being consistent in what you do. If I'm consistent as a manager, I expect the players to be consistent within their respective roles.

"From what I've seen, there is no reason why we can't get into a good position in the league."

Quinn is expected to keep faith with the side selected by caretaker boss Joe Roach in midweek, with Alan Connell, Scott Guyett, Ryan Garry and Craig Lindfield all still out injured.

"I don't think there is a need to change anything," said Quinn. "The players that started deserve another go. They went through everything with Joe and they all know their jobs."

Like Cherries, County are also still searching for their first league win, although the Magpies recorded a memorable home scalp in the first round of the Carling Cup when they eliminated Championship outfit Doncaster.

Quinn said: "I've got a couple of reports on them and they like to get the ball down and pass it. They've also got one or two decent players.

"But after what I saw here on Tuesday, I'll be telling the lads to go out and play with no fear. We've got nothing to fear in this league. In fact, if we play to our potential, we're more than a match for anybody.

"It's all about winning and having that mentality. Playing attractive football is important but it's about getting points on the board.

"There will be times in the season when we will have to grind our results and that might be the case against Notts County because we're both desperate for a win."
