Today provided more positive signs for next year, hopefully showing not much more money needs to be spent for this squad to be promotion contenders next season. Wes Thomas struggled to find his shooting boots once again, but luckily Scott Malone and Marc Pugh were able to provide the goals today and reward Paul Groves with his first win as interim manager. Accounts of the game are suggesting that loanee Zavon Hines has been turning in good performances of late, would a cheeky bid be a good idea? I'd rather us sign a bigger forward to compliment Thomas and Tubbs. While it is too late for Bournemouth to mount a last gasp play-off run, the gloom and doom of 3-4 weeks ago has disappeared and hopefully foundations are being laid for next year.
As for Huddersfield, the firing of Lee Clark has not improved their chances of automatics at all; they were 3 points off second when he was sacked, and now automatics are out of reach. Huddersfield's form has not been bad, but in my opinion they can't afford to blow it in the play-offs for a third straight year. A convincing loss to mid-table fodder isn't a good sign heading into the play-offs. I hope Huddersfield do finally gain promotion this season, as it will stop a play-off spot being guaranteed to them every year, and it will make the league less northern!
Up The Cherries.
