AFC Bournemouth: Eddie Howe relishing Blackburn Rovers return
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe says he is relishing the visit of Blackburn in the Championship on Saturday - the first time the two sides have met since his winning penalty against them in 2004.
The Cherries beat then-Premier League Rovers on penalties in the League Cup nine years ago this week.
"When you play well, you tend to remember it and forget the bad games," he told BBC Radio Solent.
"I have good memories, let's hope we have some more on Saturday."
The game finished 3-3 after extra-time at Ewood Park before Howe stepped up to seal victory 7-6 on penalties, and he added: "I always regard that as one of my best games in a Bournemouth shirt.

“These are great games, you have to pinch yourselves sometimes”
Eddie Howe
"I didn't want to take a penalty, it was not one of my strengths, thankfully Tugay missed and that took the pressure off and I didn't have anything to lose."
Howe says he can see similarities between that team of 2004 and the current crop and hopes they can repeat the performance of that night.
"It had everything that game," he said. "It was a fantastic advert, we showed great character which was a hallmark of that 2004 team and is also a hallmark of this team.
"We showed that last week [at Middlesbrough] to show great desire to get a point and hopefully we can do the same on Saturday."
The visit of Blackburn, as well as FA Cup winners Wigan last month and the trip to Middlesbrough - all former Premier League clubs - shows how far the Cherries have come in such a short space of time.
And Howe admits he has to sometimes remind himself of that fact.
"They [Blackburn] were an established Premier League team recently and they are looking to get back there. We are so few games into the season it is difficult to say who is going to be competing at the top.
"All I do know is that they are a good side with a very good goalscorer in Jordan Rhodes and are going to be a real threat.
"These are great games, you have to pinch yourselves sometimes."

Why are Bournemouth 2.5? got 1.5k so far hope for more. Just by looking at the home and away league table for championship indicates these prices are wrong. As for eddie howe get over it that was 2004 we won the premier league in 1995 :)

I don't know smithy I always worry about backing / laying my own team , and punters may still think of bburn as a prem/champ side and bmouth as a league 1/2 side and bburns GD is actually 8 better than the cherries , 2.5 may be about right ?

Ga theres a big layer who arrives every week between 9 -11am for blackburn on a saturday morning. Last week against Huddersfield at home there was a steady flow of mug money sending blackburn 2.12 into 2 until big balls arrived and corrected the market so blackburn were 2.22 then. We drew 0-0 and played shocking. I make bmouth 2.3 here and thats still value. If the market dosent correct itself I will lay us at 3.2 before I go out at 2pm to play football!

We look more like league one than premier league we've only beat bolton and Barnsley so far. Bolton are bottom and Barnsley were 1-0 up at ewood before having a man sent off. Market well overating us imo. Hope I'm right :)

Reality check for Cherries again, and Howe needs to
get his defence sorted out, today being the 4th time they have conceded 3 goals or more in a match. Well done Blackburn. |
