Destiny in our own hands

IN our game earlier this season, Bournemouth showed exactly how devastating they can be on the counter-attack.

They soak up pressure then break quickly.

They did a very good job on us that day. It is probably the opposite of the situation they found themselves in recently, with a run of five straight losses before a win at Stevenage on Tuesday.

They will come here confident of making it back-to-back wins.

It will be a tough game for us, but we are determined to win. We all know how vital our home games are between now and the end of the season and we must pick up positive results.

It was extremely disappointing the Hartlepool game was called off this week. The sooner we get out of the bottom four, the better.

We have got three games in hand on some of the teams above us. Which means our destiny remains entirely in our own hands.

As a squad we are as aware as everyone else we have underachieved this season.

Our task now is to prove that we should not be down in 21st position.
