Cherries: We must up our game warns Bradbury (From Thisisdorset)

The Grimsby second goal was a joke and the scorer should be banned for cheating. Clearly punched the ball in to the net.
Sending off looked harsh to me. Did Goulding touch him?
I thought men are men in this division. Apparently not.
We are still up there and Chesterfield
dropped two points during added on time. With Bury losing it's not all bad news.
Come on you reds.

Bradbury is correct. The pleyers need to lift their game for the final push. It is about self belief, desire and confidence - we demonstarted this last seasonwhen the writing was on trhe wall and hopefully we can do the same now

Four wins out of 14 games since the start of this year illustrates our drop in form but we are in a great position and can pull things around by winning the majority of our games

Regarding the defeat at Grimsby - moaning about all controversial decisions etc is futile- they were desperate for the points and they got them. A similar hard edged approach would not do us any harm in the remaining games - I sometimes think we need to 'toughen up'

They are certainly going to have to up their game, with form teams Rochdale, Chesterfield, Port Vale, Bradford and Burton to come we have a very tough run in to the end of the Season. Given our perennial problems with bottom teams I expected yesterdays result though.

I to expected yesterdays result we seem to switch off against the lower clubs for some reason but I also think the higher clubs play better football that suites us however thats no excuse we should not be loosing to the likes of Grimsby. Never mind Rochdale and Bradford Accrington will be no pushover on Saturday and could be one of the deciding games as to weather we even get in the playoffs let alone auto promotion.
So come on lads lets not waist all the great work we have done all seasonone last push and we are there.

Winning a league, or gaining automatic promotion is all about consistency. Consistency is something we lack, but with all the issues off the pitch is it any wonder! EH and the team have worked really hard and if any team in this league deserve promotion AFCB do.

I think we could get third spot as Rotherham aren't good enough IMO.

So everyone needs to stick together for the final push of the season and we are there.

Some good crowds would be great if the club can sort out the ticket lines!

Lets not throw it all away now!

The defeat at Grimsby was disappoining for everyone but the team must learn from it.
They didn't play their best and Grimsby capitalised on it.
There's no point in blaming poor refereeing or anything other than Grimsby saw their opportunity and took it.
Bradders is right and the team needs to be consistent if they are to be in the promotion race.
They have done wonders so far this season. It would be a pity if all that hard work was for nothing.

On a total different matter altogether I noticed in our Church Newsletter the offer of AFCB tickets for the Bradford City game £5 for children and £10 for adults I hope that there will be a lot of take up for this offer. If anyone is interested I am sure that the echo will allow me to give out more details on here

Can`t win them all boys , move on , next game , next win.

The final few months was always going to be tough!!!!Never write off teams below us because those teams will always be chasing the top 3 and the battle has started.We can not make any excuses for pass results.If the players want to go up,then start pushing forward more and pick the tempo up and we will still be in the top 3,but if we relax anymore then it have to be the play-offs which none of want.

man of the match jeff goulding: 69:26 Jeff Goulding on for Brett Pitman. 70:21 Jeff Goulding challenges Jude Stirling unfairly and gives away a free kick. 70:32 Jeff Goulding is sent off. what a contribution!LOL..

I now have to say that this result has now cost us automatic promotion. I cannot see for the life of me how we are going to hold on to a top three finish. We have now handed the championship to Rochdale (a good side i have to say), we have now handed second place to Notts County in view of their three games in hand, and yes they will not lose them all. We have also handed Rotherham an opportunity to knock us out of the top three in Tuesday when the beat Macclesfield.
It seems to me that we are now fully paid up members of the (FGB) Fellowship Guild of Birdbrains for not bring able to hold on for another 20 seconds or so!!! I accept the embargo and injuries is not helping. I can only see us being able to maKe the play-offs in the hope that we will have Cooper and Moseley back to spur us on. Sorry folks automatic promotion is now beyond us. We would now need three straight wins to put us back on course, unfortunatly I cannot see this happening. As always I hope i am wrong.

Regards

Smhinto - would agree that Rotherham will undoubtedly gain 3 oints against Macc on Tues night but you are also forgetting that they have to go to Notts County 27th March and I think they, like us, will be luck to take a point. We had a bad day at the office, thats all. With 9 games to go, with the likes of Hereford & Darlington still to come to the Court, there is still a hell of a lot to play for so talk of a play-off place against an automatic spot is perhaps a little premature! With Perace, Cooper and Molesley due back before end of season, keep the faith and try and keep your glass half ful!!

smhinto could not have put it better.The lads have done so well,but now i am very worried that this season its not going to happen,the spark has gone,but hopefully their can come back a put in a few wins and prove you and me wrong.I am certain and very certain that what is going on in the background is starting to get to them such as the lies after lies coming from mitchell and those that work with him.

UP THE CHERRIES, Eddie will get us, one way or another......

Up, Eddie Howe will get us UP!!!

Lee is right. Treat each game like a Cup Final.
