Bournemouth v Blyth Spartans: Preview
Updated: November 28, 2008, 11:57 AM UK
Bournemouth pair Brett Pitman and Scott Guyett will both return to contention for the Cherries' FA Cup clash with Blyth Spartans.
Striker Pitman sat out the goalless draw with Morecambe in midweek after reaching five bookings, while defender Guyett missed the same game following his dismissal at Grimsby.
But Cherries manager Jimmy Quinn will be without on-loan pair Michael Symes and Matt Tubbs, who are both cup-tied.
Tubbs appeared for Salisbury in the fourth round qualifying, while fellow forward Symes played in Shrewsbury's first-round defeat to Blyth.
Striker Alan Connell remains sidelined due to a knee injury, so Quinn could start with Pitman alongside Lee Bradbury up front.
The Cherries beat Bristol Rovers 1-0 at Dean Court in the first round.
Blyth Spartans boss Harry Dunn will have a fully-fit squad to choose from.
But the Blue Square North side will be without a trio of cup-tied players. Striker Jason Bradley, on loan from Darlington, featured for Buxton against Blyth in an earlier round and is ineligible.
New signings Mark Snowdon and Karl Richards are also cup-tied - goalkeeper Snowdon was snapped up from Crook Town this week, while midfielder Richards was signed from Spennymoor United.
Goalkeeper Mark Bell and midfielder Chris McCabe are enjoying successful comebacks from injury as Dunn`s men look to continue their excellent cup run, having already knocked out Whitby Town, Buxton, Sheffield FC and League Two Shrewsbury.
