Howe: Bournemouth won't change team's core

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe won't seek massive changes for their Premier League campaign.

Howe has vowed to give his promotion heroes the chance to shine in the Premier League.

The Cherries won 3-0 at Charlton, where Matt Ritchie scored twice either side of Harry Arter's goal, and ended up being crowned winners of the Sky Bet Championship as Watford, yesterday morning's leaders, were held to a draw by Sheffield Wednesday.

"You can see from my track record that the guys who have performed so well for us this season will get an opportunity to perform at the next level," he said.

"I don't believe in wholesale changes in the close season, I don't believe in not giving players a chance to show whether they are good enough.

"Ultimately they will have to take that opportunity but it was the same from League One to Championship - we stuck with the majority of the squad.

"Of course there will be subtle changes - there will be players coming in and players leaving - but the core group will remain the same."
