Eddie Howe was discussing the injury status of his players before the game.
Eddie Howe said “Joelinton has been carrying a shoulder injury for a while but I think he was OK. Dan Burn has not been training due to an ankle problem. But he did magnificent at Palace considering he has not really trained.”
Eddie Howe reflected on the performance in the Palace game, expressing both disappointment in the result and acknowledgment of the team’s ability to handle pressure under difficult circumstances.
Eddie Howe said “We stood up to that really well until the end. It’s an absolutely devastating blow for us because we thought we were there. There was a lot of good from us in the first two thirds but nothing in the final third. We look a little bit low on confidence and we were lacking a cutting edge up front.”
