Hart view on 'sucker punch' against Bournemouth

Last updated : 20 February 2005 By Mad Tyke

After the Reds second consecutive defeat, Paul Hart said: "I thought we were not bad in the first half but poor after the break. Having said that we did not create enough going forward and the game really needed a goal.

"There was not much life out there and it was dead but we cannot blame any external influences for our performance. We needed a goal and Michael Boulding had two good chances that he probably should have scored.

"Their goal was a sucker punch but we had told them all about Bournemouth's quick free kicks."
