Northampton Town Reaction - Cherries

Speaking in the Bournemouth Evening Echo, Kevin Bond is quoted as saying: "I feel for everybody associated with the football club. I feel hard and hurt for everybody, including the fans and myself. I totally understand and sympathise that they have come an awful long way and I'm very thankful and very sorry that they have seen what was a disappointing performance. I made the players aware of that. We prepare the players as best we can and they go out and do their jobs. Tonight, we didn't do the basic stuff anywhere near as well as we did against Gillingham and, to a degree, there is only so much you can do. It was the same set of players that did their jobs against Gillingham that didn't do their jobs as well tonight. There is only so much I can do and I feel really hurt about that".
