Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe: I must work harder

Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe recognises he needs to "work harder" after a first team return on the weekend.

Ibe was drafted in for his first Premier League start of the campaign in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Newcastle United.

Asked whether he felt he had done enough to keep his starting spot, Ibe told the Daily Echo: “No. I need to work much harder.

“When I get the chances on the pitch I need to take them. I didn't take them on Saturday – that's how it goes sometimes.

“I can always do better and that comes from the training pitch.

“I need to keep pushing hard but it was not really about getting a start. It was more important for us to get the three points but it didn't happen on Saturday.

“It was good to play but we didn't get the result we wanted. We have to fix that in the next game.

“I think we played better in the second half but there were a couple of sloppy 50-50s, corners and free-kicks – we got what we deserved."
