Wise praise for referee

Dennis Wise was pleased to get back to winning ways after seeing his side overcome Bournemouth in front of a record crowd at Dean Court. 'The players responded and that's very pleasing for me...getting back on track straight away was important,' he said. 'To be honest I thought Bournemouth played better than us in the first half. They passed it better and they caused us problems. But we showed our strength in the second half and we weren't going to let it slip. We we're under a bit of pressure and I'm pleased with the result.'

Bournemouth boss Kevin Bond believed the dismissal of Lee Bradbury for violent conduct was the pivotal moment of the match. 'It was always going to be an uphill struggle once Bradders got sent off,' said Bond. 'I didn't see it, but if he did clatter him then we'll take the referees decision on the chin.'

Wise praised referee Steve Bennett for his handling of the incident, and the match in general. 'Steve got it right. (Bradbury) swung his arm and he deserved to go. I don't like to say it but it was a red card. Everywhere we go we've got capacity crowds so it's important we get a referee who can handle the game. It has improved things. Steve is a fantastic referee.'
