Harry Redknapp is confident former club AFC Bournemouth will continue to use their attacking game style next season.

Eddie Howe's Cherries effectively won promotion to the Premier League with their 3-0 triumph over Bolton at Dean Court (Goldsands Stadium) on Monday night.

Bournemouth are now three points and 19 goals clear of third-placed Middlesbrough with one fixture left in the season meaning they are almost certain to play in England's top flight next term but that will not alter the way they play according to former manager Redknapp.

"I am sure Eddie will play the same way," said Redknapp on Sky Sports.

"He will attack teams and play with two wide men, he loves width. The two full-backs, who have been outstanding this season, will continue to get forward."

He added of 37-year old manager Howe: "This is his club, he's got a lovely way about him, he encourages them to play football and not just boot it up the pitch.

"They've bought into his ideas and I think, you can't speak highly enough of him. He's a quiet man, a quiet lad. I live here and you never hear anything bad about the players. No-one says a bad word, they're a pleasure."
