Bournemouth defender Steve Cook says they must be stronger in bouncing baack from defeats next season.

The experienced centre-back helped Cherries finish 14th last season, with Eddie Howe's side delivering several standout performances.

Cook told the Daily Echo: "To finish 14th was really disappointing.

"On the face of it with all the injuries we had, all the disruption, we can learn from it, we can take the positives from it.

"The inconsistencies from individuals and the team needs to be addressed and we need to be better but again we are a Premier League team next season and that is the main thing.

"I still think we have a lot of potential and we can really improve next season but we have a lot to sort out."
