Bournemouth midfielder Christie: We can be happy with Forest point

Bournemouth midfielder Ryan Christie insists their draw with Nottingham Forest was a good point.

The hosts had an early lead before being pegged back.

But Christie told the Daily Echo: “It was a bit of a weird game, to be honest.

“There was no real flow to it. It was a bit scrappy.

“You go down to 10 men, I thought the red card was soft, but I'm sure everyone else will have their opinion on that.

“But the way the game ends, happy to see out the point. Because you have to play the best part of 15 minutes down to 10 men against a good team that have made a couple of signings in the window. So it's a good point, I see it as."

He added: “Especially in the middle of the park, it just felt like it was bouncing balls, the ball up in the air.

“There wasn't much flow, which is frustrating, because we want to play our football as much as we can.

“But that's sometimes how the game goes, especially up against these kinds of teams that make it tough.

“I thought in the most part we did it well. We limited them to very few chances.

“On another day we could've been a bit more clinical ourselves. But it's a good point and we move on to next week now."
