Southend United Reaction - Cherries

Kevin Bond is quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "I don't want to pick people out but I thought our centre-halves had a poor day and Gareth was disappointed with a couple of the decisions and also the second goal. It destroys you because we had some unbelievably good chances but didn't make the most of them and I think they scored with their first shot on goal. It's demoralising when you have a host of chances and end up only taking one. I plainly expect better from more experienced players at the back. That's what they are there to do".
