Arter: Disappointed to come off

AFC Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter was disappointed to have been substituted at half time against the club from stadium:mk.

Many AFC Bournemouth supporters felt that Arter was one of the performers of the first half after putting in one of the better displays of his career and had assumed that the half time change was down to injury.

But after the game manager Paul Groves revealed that it was tactical.

The change let the visitors, who were also down to ten men following the dismissal of Alan Smith, back into the game and allowed them to find an equaliser and hold onto a point.

Arter told afcb.co.uk...

"It`s definitely two points dropped. We were in control of the game in both halves but didn`t turn our dominance into goals. I thought we could have held on to the lead and come away with all three points, but to get just one is disappointing,"

"We were pleased with our performance in the first half but it`s a game of two halves, and to have been in control and not won is the most frustrating thing. They will be pleased because they didn`t really deserve anything but they`ve nicked a point...'

'...I was disappointed to come off and it`s never to be nice to be the one that has to, but I`m pleased I started. I hope I get the chance to play again on Saturday."
