BondIn his first post-match press conference as Cherries Manager, having made four changes to the last game, Kevin Bond stated that he would be having a good look at all the squad players.

Here is what Kevin had to say after the match.

 

"I thought overall we certainly deserved to get something from the game. It just wasn't our day. We had a couple of really good opportunities. James Hayter had a reflex chance late on and on another day may have won a penalty. I know we're in the results business, but I thought the result was the only disappointing thing about it. It's really nice to be back in football and I really enjoyed it today.

"Conceding thirty seconds before half time straight after we've had a shot on goal was a bad time to concede. We tried to put them under as much pressure as we could in the second half. On the day we did everything bar score. They didn't need lifting and you could see that by their performance in the second half. We changed to four at the back which I'd have done anyway, but we can't be disappointed with the way the lads played and the way they applied themselves.

"They had a big man up front and I thought Shaun competed really well. That's Shaun's game, he has a bit of experience and I thought he did well for us. I'll always try to play my best players whoever they may be at any given time. It's not just a case of going with the old heads, I'll try to have a look at everyone and see who I want to go forward with."
