Manager Kevin Bond is dreaming of a miracle relegation escape after seeing Bournemouth keep alive their survival hopes by beating Yeovil 2-0.Goals from Danny Hollands and teenage prospect Sam Vokes kept Bournemouth within touching distance of their relegation rivals despite being docked 10 points as punishment for going into administration.

Boss Bond said: "As long as it is mathematically possible to stay up we will keep plugging away. I cannot affect what happens off the pitch but it is my job to make sure we keep doing the business on the field.

"This victory gives us a little bit of hope going into the final seven games of the season. Our performances have been steadily improving and I cannot ask any more from my players.

"When I was assistant manager at Portsmouth we looked dead and buried and managed to turn things round in the final couple of months so you have to keep believing.

"It will be a fantastic achievement if we could somehow get enough points to stay up."
