Gray Happy To Be Second Best

Northampton manager Stuart Gray, speaking to their official site, was happy to be second best as long as his side got the three points:

"We looked nervous and it probably wasn't one of our better performances but the main thing was for us to get the three points. Hereford started well and we just struggled to get a foothold in the game in the first half.

"In the second half we got our noses in front and full credit to the defence and Chris Dunn for keeping us in the game at times. The last thing I want is for my goalkeeper to get man of the match but Chris had another very good game.

"We made quite a few mistakes this afternoon and we looked a bit nervous but hopefully we will learn from that. We are all fighting for our livelihoods and we all want to keep this team in League One. There are no easy games in this league, we made a couple of mistakes this afternoon and got away with it whereas in other games we've been punished.

"Hereford will perhaps feel that they deserved to take something from the game but the result was the most important thing for us today."
