Manager Nigel Adkins was quoted after the match as saying: "There is a hell of a long way to go. We have to keep the group together and keep positive. We've got to keep going because we are very much in this race. I'm very positive in my outlook and we have to show the spirit and desire to go for the next game. Give Bournemouth all the credit, we are not looking to make any excuses. They were very good on the night, especially in the first half and took their goals well".
