Hollands Makes Surprise Start - Danny is back

Player of the year Danny Hollands is a surprise inclusion in the starting eleven for this afternoon's League Two clash against Exeter City.

Hollands underwent a knee operation in pre-season and wasn't expected to make a return until September. But for the second time in ten months, Hollands has recovered quicker than anticipated and is ready to put himself in the firing line.

Danny has taken part in training this week with no adverse affects to his knee and is eager to make his mark on the new season.

Meanwhile injury doubts Jason Pearce and Marvin Bartley both start while Scott Wagstaff makes his full Cherries debut. Eleventh hour loan signing Craig Lindfield is on the bench.

Shwan Jalal was named in the original starting team, but was always a doubt with a dead leg and pulled up in the warm up. Ryan Pryce makes his first senior appearance of the season.
