Kelly: Neither Red Warranted

Speaking to the press after tonight's match, Rob Kelly felt neither red card given tonight was justified:

"I thought neither of them were red card offences, Patrick's challenge was innocuous - maybe there was a little push.

"It was always going to be a difficult place to come. Hereford are well-organised and are still on a high after coming out of the conference. Things are on a high here, so it's a good result for us and the players applied themselves in the right manner. Hereford had their positive spell after the break and we weathered the storm well."

Graham Turner blamed a lacklustre first half from the Bulls, but reserved more criticism for the referee:

"We did not play at all in the first half. After the break, we built up a head of steam and played well to get back into it. We were so docile in the first half, anybody could have beaten us. We came out with venom in the second half.

"We deserved better on the strength of our second half performance. I thought their keeper made a number of good saves. Maybe he was lucky to stay on the field after giving away the penalty. I cannot understand how he (the referee) has got those two decisions so different."
