NO TO PARKING THE BUS

EDDIE HOWE has now seen his Bournemouth side lose their opening four Premier League games of the campaign.

The Cherries remain without a point but Howe insists he does not intend to change his approach in the coming weeks in an attempt to get off the mark.

“Parking the bus is not our way,” he said. “It will never be our way but if we are going to play the way we want we have to do it better.

“I don’t think losing the early goal helped, it was a poor goal to concede. We were a bit passive, too reactive. On the ball we were negative, wasteful and slow and that is not like us.”

“It is very, very disappointing from our perspective,” added Howe. “It was a poor performance from start to finish.”
