MARCO Rose hailed the togetherness of his Cherries squad as one of the keys to their superb run of form.

Bournemouth have won eight games in a row and are flying high in the Premier League and Europa League, as well as progressing to the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

The collective feeling in the squad has been shown by the jubilant celebrations at the end of the past few victories, with Rose keen to indicate that it has been a squad effort as he's led cheers with the away ends in Prague and Ipswich.

He said that those two trips made the week just gone perhaps the most challenging in his time in Bournemouth so far, but he knows equally stern tests are to come.

Asked about how he had guided his team through that spell, Rose told the Daily Echo: “I was always convinced about the things we do.

“I'm happy with the way we work together, the whole group, the staff, everyone in the club.”

He continued: “It just feels like a group.

“We do all the the things and stuff together and if I said this will be the most challenging week, then I was wrong.

“The most challenging weeks are waiting for us in December and maybe January because I watched the schedule.

“It's getting not better, even worse maybe.”
