Bournemouth manager Parker: Boreham Wood defeat among my worst moments

Bournemouth manager Scott Parker has admitted that Sunday's FA Cup loss to Boreham Wood is one of his lowest moments in football.

The non-league side caused a huge shock by beating Bournemouth to reach the fifth-round.

When asked if this defeat ranks among his lowest moments in football, Parker told the Daily Echo: "Yeah definitely, a million per cent, it's right up there.

"I'm hugely hurt and disappointed. I've been involved around football for a long time.

"We all know the magic of the FA Cup and what that brings.

"But I don't want to be sitting here on the end of that. That's the cold, hard facts.

"I don't want to be on the end of a giant-killing, as magic as it is.

"I wanted to be here tonight and put a performance in and win the game. We've not managed to do that.

"Sometimes you have to take your medicine. Tonight we have to take our medicine and I have to take mine.

"We have to make sure we react. That's my job between now and Wednesday night."
