Russell Slade:
"What I was most disappointed with was the start because we were losing within a minute away from home which is a disaster.
"But what is worse is that we do it at the home of the league leaders. It feels like we kept shooting ourselves in the foot throughout the game.
"Every time we threatened to make a game of it we shot ourselves in the foot again.
"I am bitterly disappointed with the goals we've conceded and we need to work harder to reach Bournemouth's level.
"I will be using them as a yardstick because they should be going up this season whereas we were off the pace and behind them for much of it."
Bournemouth assistant manager Jason Tindall:
"For us to be top of the Championship before Christmas is a great achievement and our aim now is to build on that and extend our lead at the top.
"I'm not sure we really anticipated winning it 5-3 but we will take it because top is the position we want to be in.
"Cardiff threw everything at us and there were goals flying in everywhere. We pride ourselves on attacking football but maybe that was the reason we conceded some poor goals today.
"But the fact that we are top and all five goals were scored by different players shows just how good this squad can be."
