MANAGER Lee Bradbury insists Cherries are confident they can re-write the form-book against Charlton Athletic.

The two teams meet at Seward Stadium this afternoon (3pm) with recent results and league positions suggesting the Addicks are hot favourites.

Bradbury’s men have lost their past three matches and have not won in four outings, while leaders Charlton are unbeaten in 10 League One games.

But Bradbury told the club website: “This is a game that everyone can look forward to.

“It is a great opportunity for us to test ourselves against the best team in the league.

“They have been outstanding this season and their record speaks for itself.

“We have had a good week in preparation and are confident that we can give a good account of ourselves and get a good result.”
