It's not easy chopping and changing the team with such a small squad, but that is something that Sean O'Driscoll said he must think about in the coming weeks in a variety of areas. Steve Fletcher and Neil Young have both been dealt with carefully since their return from injury, two players are now on four bookings and Neil Moss returns to Southampton after the Shrewsbury game.

Sean O'Driscoll gave credit to his team for keeping composure against Doncaster yesterday in far from ideal conditions. The Conference side came out to do a job, but Bournemouth weren't going to react in any adverse way to their tactics. O'Driscoll was pleased with the way his team kept playing football after the Doncaster goal and highlighted that as a reason for getting back in front again so quickly.

Sean O'Driscoll expressed his delight at Warren Feeney's 90th minute winner as it meant the lads wouldn't have to go through a potential further thirty minutes ahead of the FA cup tie this weekend. O'Driscoll has been very careful with his selections over the past few weeks and took some time to explain the situations of Young, Fletch and Tindall; all of whom could play a bigger role on Saturday.

James Hayter scored his first goal of the season yesterday and how! Steve Fletcher latched onto some loose defending by Wrexham and the ball to Hayter was struck with venom off the post and into goal. Hayter's high standards have seen him score more regularly in the past, but O'Driscoll paid tribute to his general performances in games.

Cherries boss Sean O'Driscoll spoke after the 1-0 win against Bristol Rovers and described the different tactics adopted in both halves against Ray Graydon's men. Only the woodwork and the goalkeeping heroics of Scott Howie kept the visitors in the game during the first half and O'Driscoll explained how the second was just about winning the game; which the team went on to do 'tremendously.'

Sean O'Driscoll praised his defence including Liam Ridgewell following the 0-0 draw at Leyton Orient in what was only the third clean sheet of the season and first since August in an away victory at Macclesfield.
