What a game from Jeremy, still a bit hesitant to track back and help his fullback, but we have found another locksmith to pick the 5-5 block. He is so quick from a standstill he gives fullbacks night mares. Probably wont play on Wed as he did the full ninety. He is the kind of player you want on the ball to have a go at getting to that bye line, could watch him all day.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola speaking to BBC Match of the Day:
"I don't think the game should've ended the way it did, the punishment was too severe! Almost every time they had a clear chance they scored.
"We made the mistake to start to think we were defending well because we were compact and we can do that for 25-30 minutes. But we lacked some aggression, we were better in the second half. They scored three but it's more the style of the team. We were not threatening them.
"Second half players tried everything. They had the disallowed goal, the crossbar, scored one. The moment you think you are doing well and think you can push more and score another they punish you. They were clinical in key moments and I don't think we deserved 6-1 but whenever you face these kind of teams it can happen."
On Alex Scott injury: "We will have to check, it's the other knee [not the same knee as last injury]. Not the same kind of injury, he felt it in the inside of the knee. Let's hope it's something minor but we can't say too much before checking."


Mate, you were played off the park, 6-1 was more than fair. Sorry to see Scott have to go off, hope it is not a ligament for the young lad.
