Wilder said: "Tom would have possibly only have lasted 60 minutes and we were getting a bit overrun in (midfield).
"They cranked it up with 10 minutes to go in the first half. It's so difficult trying to get the pace of the game.
"Tom'll be better for us. He'll be okay but we felt a little bit more athleticism and strength in the middle of the park would help us with Vini. But we're having to make physical substitutions, you want to keep Ben and Oli Mac out there. Do they score from a set-play if Oli Mac's in the area? He certainly makes it harder and they looked a really promising partnership.
"They had quite a lot of energy and from a defensive point of view we were getting a little bit exposed on that side. Yet again we're chucking Tom in. Nothing we can do in training will ever replicate what happens in a Premier League game when you're playing an athletic side like Bournemouth. They're physically a very very good team that we were up against."
