Bournemouth captain Adam Barrett has told his team-mates to just focus on beating Gillingham in their FA Cup replay.

In-form Leyton Orient await the winners of the tie, but Barrett is more concerned with defeating the Gills after the Cherries threw away a two-goal lead on Saturday. He told the club's official website: "We have to go to Gillingham, which won't be easy. They will be fired up for it and it's a chance for them to cause an upset. "We need to approach it in the right way, get the win and hopefully concentrate on Orient after that.Leyton Orient away would be a tough draw but we've got to get past Gillingham first. "Orient are a team like ourselves who have picked up recently and is always a tough place to go, but it could have been a lot worse. I would have much rather preferred a league club than play a non-league club away from home. "If we can get past Gillingham, then we've already beaten Orient and we could go there with a lot of confidence."
