Scunthorpe United Reaction - Iron

06 November 2011 14:50
Here's the post match reaction from the Scunny camp after their 2-0 defeat on the south coast.

After the match, Iron boss, Alan Knill, was quoted as saying: "We take a step forward and then two steps back. I thought we had a good opportunity to win here. But it's no good me thinking it, the players have to think it as well. They also have to put into practice all the things you work on in the week. The stats probably show Bournemouth had three shots and scored two. We had good chances before the second goal and didn't take them. It's the same old story really, although I have to say there were some pretty poor performances today. All you want is for people to run around and be enthusiastic. At times, we didn't look like that. 'm not going to say there was a lack of effort, but there was probably a lack of thought at times. I've got some experienced players as well as young players and I expect the experienced ones to help the younger ones. I didn't we think we got that. Before today we'd only lost two away from home and had dominated teams. You'll have to ask the players if there was a lack of belief we could win. There are defining moments in games and the goal was against the run of play, but it was a poor goal to concede. When we had decisions to make around their box we made some poor ones and just didn't get in there when we needed to. We haven't got too many options to change things around and at times we looked a little ragged".

"It's not a false score, but we lost 2-0 having had the better chances. It's difficult to take.
