Cherries: Tindall welcomes return of 'fantastic player' Arter (From Thisisdorset)

Wish I felt so enthusiastic about Mr Arters abilities and (positive) contributions!

Yes, I must say that I feel about the same.
We are now 7pts + goaldiff off the autos and if we lose against Stevenage tomorrow, we could be 6pts + goaldiff off the playoffs. I think we've blown it to be honest.
Some events off the pitch are certainly affecting the players but the board continue to say that everything at the club is rosy. What a joke.

Wait for the Harry haters to start posting, the same user names will soon start popping up

It seems to me and many others that this very average player gets special treatment from our management team. God knows why, he can't tackle, often passes to the other side and has a vile gob on him that a sending off is always on the cards. Harry haters are in their plenty and if he gets the nod in front of McDonald and O'Kane, it's clearly a club that plays its favourites and not the best. Same with Tubbs who is constantly overlooked for out of form Pitman.

Very average indeed.

That said lets hope he can have a better than normal game and help us to 3 points.

UTC.

You lot don't know what you're talking about.
He's been our best midfielder this season closely followed by macdonald.
I think Eddie knows better than you lot

Have to say I agree. Although Harry is obviously not everyone's cup of tea the stats do not lie - we've had a higher percentage of positive results with Harry in the team than when he's not been in the side through injury or suspension - UTC!

Absolute tosh, we played our best football when McDonald and O'Kane were on song and our standard fell when McDonald was injured. EH has been reluctant to get McDonald back in the side but on Saturday we all saw what he brings to the side and he will only get better and better if allowed a run in the team. Sorry but Arter is an over rated wannabe and that is EH has to keep defending him and plugging his so called talents. Not a single team has ever come in with an offer to buy him, speaks volumes. I won't him to do well every time he gets picked to play but feel we have better players.

. . Harry is aiming for the top alright, . . . in The Guiness Record of Bookings

Want him to do well? Yeah,sounds like it! My God,if this is your support for our players hate to see what you post when you've got the hump!

I really hope the players don't read some of the comments you clowns put on here, you're fans you're meant to support them through thick and thin. Yes, I do wish Arter would shut his mouth sometimes and think that referees just book him to save the effort later but that's just the way he is, stop criticising him. I hope EH does start playing Macca and Arter together coz Macca pulls Arter away before he talks himself into a yellow plus they're our best midfield duo!

I think Harry Arter is great. A bit of a nutter, but a good footballer. I for one will be pleased to see him back in the team.

Macdonald partnered Arter prior to getting injured. Okane rarely started any games.

Some fans live on a delusional island where every player is a superstar. I'm a realist. He's average that's all. He's a liability to the team and overrated. I support my team but can also be a critical friend. We have got better but if your face don't fit then you find yourself on the bench or out of the squad. That's not my words, that's from one of the first team squad players. EH is a good manager but there have been some strange decisions, Demouge on loan for one. Not recalling Zubar, Meads and letting Thomas go when we are stalling in front of goal. If Arter gets the nod instead of McDonald that will be another. Come the 90 minutes during a game I am right behind he team, between the games is a time for reflection, opinion and debate.

And slagging players off by the sounds of it. Right,Mr Ill informed lets have a look at some of your points,you say Arter hasn't had anyone look at him which speaks volumes,Cardiff were looking at him before so that shoots that one down and by that assumption Pugh must be c**p too cos no one ever put in a bid for him. Thomas is a mercenary and didn't want to play for us,very obvious from the peformances he put in when Eddie put him in the starting line up, Demouge isn't fancied by the manager who saw him in training everyday and Meades is obviously deemed to need more experience before returning,(again if our manager fancies him as he wasn't one of his buys). Zubar is out for 9 months after doing his knee ligaments,(good to see your up with current affairs!),and i seem to remember our long unbeaten run consisted of Mcdonald,until he got injured,with O'Kane coming in to replace him with Arter being the constant.To my mind it's a difficult pick as all 3 have their right to stake a claim and while i agree lately Arter hasn't been as good that's more symptomatic of the whole team hitting a brick wall so,i'm not delusional,i'm there at every home game watching Arter play and what i see is a young player,(i think i'm right in saying he's only 23?),who has come on in leaps and bounds since his first game,someone who is absolutely commited to the cause,someone who has got some of the best long range passing ability in the division and who has a good eye for goal,(has scored some of the best strikes this season),Yes,he can be a bit loose with his short passes at times but he's not the only one and he can get carried away in the heat of the battle and chipping in to the ref with stuff that doesn't concern him but these are all things he'll learn as his career goes on.So,sorry,don't think he's average at all,i think he's one of our best players but then that's just my opinion.

Arter is one of the few,if not the only one, who attempt to shoot from the distance. Dont think is average, he is a good player but sometimes he switches off.

yeah i think something as destroyed the atmosphere and morale at the club, you don't go from being world beaters to blyth spartans losers in 5 games? after the crewe game we all thought it was in the bag. i couldn't see us losing 2 on the bounce NO WAY and here we are with 5 straight defeats and only 4 home games left!!!

Some people are not keen on Steve Gellaaad.

Hey Ho.

On the point of games left this applies to every club.

Arter and MacDonald were our best combination so far this season, I fully expect them to continue as the midfield duo tonight and for the rest of the season. Harry has had his moments this season but for the most part he has been one of our better performers, if only he could engage his brain before he engaged his mouth then he would be a real crowd pleaser!!

Our aim must surely be firstly to exceed our points total from last season, a season where many thought it was far from a success with Bradders and Groves in charge, it would be a real knock for the manager if we ended the season lower than 10th and with fewer points than they managed and with a smaller squad!

Some opinions on here about 'arry, but love him or hate him at least there's not enough games left for another yellow card suspension this season....but I could be wrong?

Of course we can't have fewer points but you get my meaning here, 58 points was our mark last season, now if we can just get over that line!!!

It's simple really - another 27 points should see us go up automatic - no problem for King Arter and the boys - UTC!

Harry Arter blows hot and cold. When he is up for it he is one of our best players. When he isn't he gives the ball away and doesn't bring anything to the party. At least he shoots on site, which the Cherries teams of old used to do. We can't rely on the strikers at the moment so we need Harry on the pitch to have a go! UTCIAD!!

Harry's a good player but he needs to keep his mouth shut as he's no use to us if he's continually suspended. He owes us a big performance tonight, as do the rest of the players who have collectively been garbage in the last few games. They are all paid huge salaries that most of us can only dream of to put in a shift for the club and it's supporters. They did well to climb the league to reach top spot for sure, but then they all thought they'd made it and just had to show up to get the points. Doesn't work that way guys.
Three points and a convincing performance and scoreline like the MK Franchise game is what's required tonight. So to all the players I'll say this: Have you got the bottle to win promotion or not? No more excuses about bad luck please. You make your own luck through hard work and dedication.

Totally agree with you there, MacDonald just in front of the back four with Arter forward, the results will start coming again, would also like to see Ritchie playing up front too. Its our best way out of this bad spell. It just shows how good Howe is of knowing our squad, GET IT FIXED PLEASE
