Andrew Surman: 'Thinking Bournemouth have easy run-in is dangerous'

Bournemouth midfielder Andrew Surman tells Sports Mole that it is "dangerous" for the players to think that they have an easy Championship run-in.

Bournemouth midfielder Andrew Surman has urged his teammates not to become "victims" of complacency by thinking that they have an easier run-in than their rivals in the hunt for Premier League promotion.

The Cherries, who have a one-point lead at the top of the Championship, face bottom-half opposition in their remaining four games.

Tomorrow, Eddie Howe's side will travel to Reading, before welcoming Sheffield Wednesday and Bolton Wanderers to the Goldsands Stadium.

The South Coast side, who are unbeaten in their last nine games, will round off their campaign against 12th-placed Charlton Athletic on away turf.

Bournemouth's rivals Norwich City and Middlesbrough still have to play each other, but Surman believes that the Championship has shown how upsets can be caused up and down the league.

"It's dangerous to talk like that, everybody's talking like that, but the Championship's shown throughout the years that it's so inconsistent - teams in the bottom half can beat teams in the top half," Surman told Sports Mole.

"It happens all the time, but we want to make sure that we're not victims of that. They're going to be tough games. I think Reading are probably mathematically safe but they're professionals at the end of the day, they want to go out and win games, so, it's still going to be a tough run-in."

The Cherries have scored 89 league goals this season.
