The importance of the 5-0 win at the weekend and the clean sheet has not gone unnoticed - not least of all by Steve Cook who was at the heart of the immaculate defensive display.
Speaking in the Bournemouth Evening Echo, Cook was quoted as saying: "It has been a long time coming and is something we’ve been working hard towards. The game was won when Harry scored the third goal, but we had to keep our concentration and maintain our work rate. I thought that from the front we defended as a team. Grabbs up front and Harry Arter and Andy Surman in the middle were absolutely terrific. They didn’t have any chances at all and that comes from the front and the way we put them under pressure. We didn’t give them chances to put the ball into the box or play long to their target man and that was because of our work rate as a team. I think Saturday was our most important win of the season. It was vital that we won and, hopefully, we can keep beating the sides around us. I think we showed the difference between us and (Doncaster) and how much we’ve improved from last year. Hopefully, we can take the result and push on. We haven’t scored that many goals for a very long time and that’s very pleasing".
