39 - Fantastic build up from Bournemouth with Hollands picking out Pitman who returns it to him in the box. The ball gets caught under midfielder's feet so he lays it back to Fletcher whose shot is deflected wide yet again.

37 - Fabulous cross by Feeney comes to nothing with three Bournemouth players lined up on the edge of the area rather than darting into the box. The crowd are getting restless with half time approaching.

24 - Long ball by Bradbury is this time nodded down by Pitman to Fletcher for a change! The half volley by Fletcher is deflected out for a corner. Corner curled in by Pitman towards Pearce but the Bournemouth captain couldn't quite get a touch. Some of the crowd were distracted by Marvin Bartley changing his shorts on the touchline!

8 - Gary Smith receives a yellow card for a cynical trip off the ball on Marvin Bartley.
