‘We’re still not ruthless enough in front of goal.
‘It was comfortable and we played some lovely football.
‘Bournemouth are scoring freely against the bottom sides, whereas we’re winning comfortably but they’re kind of smashing the lower sides.
‘On the whole, it was a very good performance and we’re happy to maintain the unbeaten run.
‘Maybe I’m being selfish, but I always want that little bit more.'

‘We didn’t shake hands when they arrived.
‘I put anti-bacterial wipes and hand soap in both changing rooms. As opposed to the line-up and handshake, we went rugby-style with it.'
