Jordon Ibe's failure to become a first team regular is a disappointment, admits boss Eddie Howe

Jordon Ibe's inability to break into Bournemouth's preferred starting XI has been a disappointment, manager Eddie Howe said following his side's third round exit from the FA Cup.

The Cherries, who made 11 changes to the starting lineup that drew 3-3 against Arsenal in the Premier League last week, were beaten 3-0 by Millwall on Saturday.

Ibe, who made only his 12th start at the club, failed to make an impact against the League One outfit as Bournemouth struggled at The Den.

'He hasn't been a regular in the team and that will be a disappointment for him and for us,' Howe said of the 21-year old winger.
