After Nottingham Forest lost 0-2 away to Bournemouth, Forest head coach Sean Dyche was interviewed.
About the performance of this game
Ditch: It's like the old saying, "the deserted after the event." We faced a team that ranked first in the Premier League in terms of physicality and they showed that. I don’t think we can match that intensity yet.
The players have been great and soaked up all the information, but we were so far behind in the first half. There is still much work to be done. I don't come here with naive ideas, the league position will speak for itself. I never think there's no work to be done, but the first half proved that.
Regarding the team's timidity in the first half
Dyche: If we can do the most basic defense today and enter the halftime break with 0-0, we will have a chance. I'm not questioning other coaches, but we only have so many opportunities to execute changes.
There are too many back passes and cross passes. When everyone's a little nervous, they get a little timid - no one wants to make a mistake.
About Bournemouth's first goal directly from a corner kick
Dyche: The linesman signaled a goal kick, but the referee overturned the call from a position he could not see. That's really frustrating. Then I got a yellow card and you just scratch your head.
