Turner would have taken a point before the game

Graham Turner was interviewed by BBC Hereford and Worcester after today's game. Below is some of what the Hereford United manager had to say.

"I think that before the game we might have taken that (a point). I think that when you go a goal ahead and I thought we started the game quite well with room to pass it.

"The equaliser really put their tails up and set us back a notch or two. I was disappointed with the way we played when we had the ball. We didn't cause them any real problems.

"In the end we had to defend against the wind and some lively attacking play from them. It took two good saves from Wayne Brown to get a point.

"We've been solid at the back all season. We've had three full backs out today, so Rob Purdie has had to play right back, with Darren Blewit at left back.

"We've been solid all season, we're just not scoring enough goals."

Asked about Ipoua Turner continued:

"He started the season off with three goals in three games, then got his injury. He looks as though he needs a bit more training yet. He's lacking a bit of fitness.

"We've got Adam Stansfield to come back. Back at the start of the season I would have put my money on him to get twenty goals. He did last season. He's a goal scorer and there's no doubt we've missed him.

"So there is something to look forward to when we get players fit again.

"Jeannin is available after suspension, Ryan Green should not be far off fitness, Simon Travis probably needs a little bit more training, but he's not far off.

"So we've got players coming back. Stansfield should be the middle of November."

Turner finished the interview by talking about the hope of a late challenge by the Bulls. He admitted there are some decent sides in the Conference, but then returned to the Hereford United performances.

"It's not flowing, we're not creating a lot of opportunities, we're not scoring a lot of goals. We've got to hang on in there until it turns.
