Sean O'Driscoll cited height as being the major factor in the home defeat against Bradford City, being quoted on BBCi after the match as saying: "In the first half, we were worried about losing the game, and that affected the way we played, but we dominated the second half. But set plays were always going to be a problem, with one of our 5ft 10in lads marking someone who's 6ft 3in. You can't grow people - so we knew if Bradford were going to score, that would be their most likely avenue".

For Bradford City, their manager (Colin Todd) was delighted with the win on the South Coast. He was quoted after the match as saying: "I thought we deserved to be 1-0 up after the first half. Credit to Bournemouth, they changed their formation in the second half and had a lot of possession. We had to stand big, and I thought we did that. And if we had a bit more guile on the counter-attack, I think we could have punished them more".
