Last updated : 06 December 2006 By Bournemouth Co-Ordinator
Kevin Bons was pleased with the win against the League One table-toppers. He was quoted on BBCi after the match as saying: "Forest are a powerful side who hadn't been beaten away from home. With Steve Fletcher and James Hayter out, we had to go with two youngsters up front, Brett Pitman and Sam Vokes, but they caused Forest problems. It shows us that we can compete with the best teams in the league if we show the right amount of resolve".

Speaking on their official web site, the Forest manager. Colin Calderwood is quoted as saying: "Bournemouth deserved to win, they did a lot of things better than us. We are disappointed with ourselves, we didn't make good decisions with the ball when we had good opportunities. We had enough opportunities but were really second best in the first half. We had a good chat at half time but when they went ahead we never had the response. We were not complacent, we just had no rhythm and no continuity, we were poor in possession and even poorer out of possession. It is always a test away from home and this is the first time we have failed away from home; it is a constant reminder that if we don't try and be dominant and aggressive we will be beaten".
