Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe credits his No2 Jason Tindall for their improved home form.

Tindall's big idea was to change the goal nets back to white.

He felt the previous red and black nets were uninspiring and not as easy to make out.

Howe told the Daily Echo: “I can't take any credit for that, I have to say. The credit goes to Jason who felt the other nets were not inspiring the strikers to score.

“Bizarrely, it has worked so credit to Jason for that observation. It just goes to show how small things can sometimes make a difference.

“Whether it has played a part or not, we will never know but it seems to be working for us.

“From a striker's perspective, when you get your head down or have a quick look at the goal before you shoot, it is much more striking to see a white net as opposed to the almost see-through nets we had previously.

“I know it is the same for both teams but it seems to be working for us at the moment."

Cherries' 4-0 triumph over Middlesbrough on Saturday was their third win in four games using the new nets with their previous nine home matches yielding 12 goals and just two victories.
