Scott Parker: Bournemouth must 'regroup' after Boreham Wood FA Cup loss

Scott Parker says his Bournemouth squad must "regroup quickly" after their FA Cup fourth-round exit at the hands of non-league Boreham Wood.

Bournemouth play Birmingham City on Wednesday as they look to return to second in the Championship.

"We need to be relentless in our pursuit of promotion now," Cherries manager Parker told BBC Radio Solent.

Mark Ricketts' first-half goal proved the difference between the two sides at the Vitality Stadium as Boreham Wood booked a fifth-round tie at Premier League Everton.

Parker admitted Bournemouth's first-half performance was "passive" before they improved after the break and missed a host of chances to equalise.
