Cherries are looking very good. Bright and inventive. Tubbs, Fogden and Ritchie particularly lively.
8:05pm
Tubbs clean through following a defensive mistake and his shot agonisingly rolls the wrong side of the post.

O'Kane through ball to Grabban, shot blocked.

Lewis Grabban misses a good opportunity to score moments later when he fires high and wide from Fogden's headed pass.

Fantastic save by Joe Murphy to prevent Tubbs opening the scoring. Tubbs had met Ritchie's powerful cross with a sweet volley.

Carl Baker denied by Shwan Jalal. Comfortable near-post save.

VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM - Cherries boss Eddie Howe
Discussing Coventry City, Howe told the Daily Echo: “They kept a lot of the better younger players that they came down with from the Championship and they added a couple of really good and experienced players into their group.
“They are a dangerous team and, potentially, as good as anything in the league, so we are going to have to be at our best to beat Coventry.
“Because they have come from so far back like we did, it makes them even more dangerous.”
7:35pm
VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM - Cherries star Matt Ritchie
Asked about overcoming defensive opposition tactics at Dean Court, Ritchie told the Daily Echo: “I think you have just got to take a few more risks.
“In the final third, maybe take a few more risks and try to make that final pass the right pass and make good decisions, and I am sure the goals will come.
“The quality in the squad is unbelievable for this league. There are goals from all over the pitch.
“If everyone can keep chipping in and scoring goals, I am sure we can all kick on together.”
7:32pm
Full team line-ups are shown above.
7:31pm
Cherries boss Eddie Howe has made three changes. Marcos Painter, Marc Pugh and Brett Pitman make way for Josh McQuoid, Wes Fogden and Matt Tubbs. Matt Ritchie expected to start at left-back.

The league table doesn't lie and right now we don't deserve to be in the play offs but it's still very close and we still have enough games left to make automatic promotion.
It shows what an important player pugh is because he hasn't been fit for the last 3 games. we do need a striker pitman is brilliant but doesn't work hard enough. tubbs just can't find his crawley form here. Grabban has been very good and why not try putting mcquoid back in his natural position?.
I still think we will do it........ but we need a couple of players in the team (striker, central midfielder, full back and the return of zubar)

Looks like you'll have to start supporting Southampton or someone else when your team folds.As long as it's not before the end of the season,we want those 4 points we took off you!

Normal service for us will be resumed shortly.
When your club has finished busting small buisnesses in Portsmouth after they did work for it in good faith will you support the new entity that will no doubt start off in the Portsmouth and Gosport Unibond League or whatever they call it in that dark,desperate part of the country?
