Defence Needs To Be Tighter

Speaking after the 2-2 draw against Brentford, manager Paul Groves is quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "I would think they will be happier with a point. I think we created the better chances overall but they came here and were probably one of the better sides we've played. I don't want to take anything away from Brentford because they had a good go at us, but we created the better opportunities. You have to give them credit because they pegged us back a bit in the second half. It was tough and it became frantic, but I thought we were superb in the first half. It was a bit frantic at times and we would have liked a little bit more control in terms of possession, but another goal could have finished it off. If you are creating chances, and some of the play in the first half was very good, then you are always positive. You want to win your home games, of course, and although we created a lot of chances, we do need to keep one or two more clean sheets".
