Victory Against A Very Good Side Said Foyle


Hereford United manager Martin Foyle spoke to Keith Hall for BBC Hereford and Worcester after last night's 1-0 victory over Forest Green Rovers.

"I can't fault the effort and committment," said Foyle.

"I throughly enjoyed the 1-0 win against a very good side, a side that was probably tipped for promotion."

Foyle choose a 4-3-3 formation to start the game. 

"We had to, we had a little chat about what we've done. At Kidderminster we didn't really press the ball enough so we've tried to go a little bit higher up the pitch.

"I thought the midfield three were outstanding but the front boys really set the stall out. They were prepared to chase lost causes.

"The back four were magnificent tonight and the keeper. To get another clean sheet at the right time especially here was fantastic.

"I enjoyed the endeavour, the work-rate. I've never seen so many people track back.

"Some great headers, some crosses coming into the box. I thought it was quite an exciting game for the TV.

"I thought tonight the supporters would go home happy."

Foyle spoke about the goal.

"I'm pleased for Micah. He's a young boy. Great little leg over and got to the bye-line. Just trying to work on his end product whether it's a shot or a final cross. But the ball came out nicely.

"What a magnificent finish. Brown hasn't played a lot of football. He's been out injured.

"To come in the last ninety minutes like that shows you his attitude to football."

Foyle was prepared to defend the 1-0 lead.

"Look at their bench, look at their strikers. One of their strikers costs all my strikers. They have the fire power.

"If we are winning, we've got to defend it, we went 4-4-2, then 4-5-1 with just Walker up front to chase the long balls.

"The defensive unit was outstanding. Bush took a booking and they were picking on him a little bit.

"But anything that went into the box the two centre-halves were outstanding in terms of closing the ball down and put pressure on the first ball. Tonight they were tight and got in their faces."

Finally Foyle once again mentioned that the club had to live within its means.

"It's down to me to try and find some more gems costing next to nothing.

"You think back to last year. My front four boys and Harry Pell have all gone on to better things.

"You can keep finding these players but sometimes you did that bit of patience."
