CHERRIES LEAVE DARLO QUAKING

SUBSTITUTE Brett Pitman came off the bench to put the finishing touches to Cherries' first home league win of the season today.
The striker rounded off an entertaining affair when he netted deep into stoppage time to help Cherries record back-to-back victories.
Midfielder Marvin Bartley had put Cherries on course to land the spoils when he grabbed their opening goal after 15 minutes.
And after Liam Hatch's header had levelled for the Quakers in the 35th minute, Neil Austin's unfortunate own goal nudged Cherries back in front two minutes later.
Cherries boss Jimmy Quinn had the luxury of naming an unchanged starting line-up, with new loan signing Blair Sturrock having to settle for a place on the bench.
The Quakers made an enterprising start and Cherries goalkeeper Shwan Jalal was forced to tip David Poole's rasping effort over the crossbar after just three minutes.
An electrifying run from deep by Billy Clarke ended with the Darlo striker being stopped in his tracks by Jason Pearce's excellent block tackle.
Cherries opened the scoring when Bartley was on hand to register his first goal of the season from close range after 15 minutes.
The opportunity came after a mistake by Darlo defender Steve Foster had seen his misplaced pass find its way to Jeff Goulding.
And after Goulding had stepped inside and had a low drive parried by goalkeeper Simon Brown, Bartley followed up to roll the ball into an unguarded net.
As the visitors looked for a quick response, Hatch's glancing header from a cross by Franz Burgmeier flew just past the upright.
Sammy Igoe squandered a decent chance to double Cherries' lead when he missed his kick after getting on the end of Warren Cummings's 27th-minute cross.
Foster was then booked for going through the back of Igoe before Brown acrobatically saved Darren Anderton's 20-yard snapshot.
The Quakers levelled when Hatch's looping header dropped over the despairing dive of Jalal, the striker pouncing after Cherries had failed to clear a free kick.
But another error by the visitors presented Cherries with a chance to regain the lead, with defender Alan White's stray clearance cut out by Igoe near the halfway line.
However, there was more than a slice of good fortune about the goal with Igoe's resultant pass to Goulding diverted past his own goalkeeper by Darlo defender Neil Austin.
Poole thought he had equalised after he had skipped through and beaten Jalal on the stroke of half-time, only for his effort to be ruled out for offside.
Goulding made way for Sturrock at the interval before Gregg Blundell replaced Poole as the visitors made a change just seven minutes into the second half.
Sturrock was soon in the thick of the action with Bartley the beneficiary of his neat layoff, although Brown was equal to the midfielder's thunderous low drive.
The Swindon loan man was denied a goal after being sent clear by Igoe 14 minutes from time and although his shot was turned around the post by Brown, the referee curiously opted to award a goal kick, much to the chagrin of the home crowd.
Tempers flared after Bartley had jumped into a challenge with Jason Kennedy, with players from both sides squaring up. And after calm had been restored, Jason Pearce became the fifth player of the match to receive a yellow card.
Pitman, on as an 82nd-minute replacement for Anderton, put the finishing touches to victory when he drilled home an unstoppable third goal deep into injury time.

Great game to watch and three points well earned right from the kick off we knew that there was going to be goals scored and we werent disappointed. A great shame that only 4000+ saw the game. I do hope that the ones that had abandoned ship will now come back and support the lads. Come on you sleepy town wake up and smell the coffee you have a football team to support. Come on the Cherries

With regards to the low attendance - it will take a lot for the fans who have drifted away after three years of pap to convince them to return, although if we keep this run going it surely will attract some back.
With money so tight for everyone at the moment I can't see a big increase in attendances just yet.

To hear some comments on here over the last two years you'd think he was a Keegan-esque messiah.Doing a great job at Hull at the moment, but so did Jewell with Wigan in his first season in the Premier League. Fantastic result today,didn't think Darlo played that bad,just we defended well and attacked with numbers, mostly!. I do rate Dave Penney as a manager,but(Jimmy Quinn my lord,Jimmy Quinn, Jimmy Quinn my lord,Jimmy Quinn, as the song went when he was banging in the goals for us himself) JQ is starting to establish his way of playing and a higher tempo was noticeable today and so quicker at closing down.We've gained on Rotherham, so a win against them in our next home game would be a massive boost
Very good point frankfilder from the USA. if only Phil Brown ,or even Dave Penny from Darlington today, had been mamager instead of the curse of Kevin (Thanks for nothing Redknapp) how things might have been so different.

Think Cooper fits in well in the 3 at back as lets the other two attack the ball and has some composure on the ball.
Thought Hollands is getting back to form but how didnt Igoe get Man of Match. Thought he was absolutely superb today and they couldn't get to grips with him.
Thought Darlington were a good footballing team so doubley good result.

We now need to get something at Wycombe next weekend.The Quinn factor has brought a welcome improvement in allround play and a big confidence boost for the players.
