Eddie Howe was naturally delighted with the win at The Don Valley Stadium, being quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "To a man, I thought the players were outstanding. Look at Big Fletch – he defies the odds because he ran around like a 20-year-old. I thought he was immense. But I could go through every single player and say how good they were. I thought we were excellent. It was a really good night for us and it should give us real belief now for the remaining 18 games that we can achieve something. I think we’re back on form now and I thought that was the best we had played this season".
