Turner pleased with result

According to the Scunthorpe Telegraph, Graham Turner described the Bulls performance last night as one of the best of the season.

"The first half was very pleasing," said Turner.

"I was delighted with the way we defended, even though we didn't have to do a lot of it.

"We hit the woodwork twice and should've scored at least one of those. We also could have had a penalty.

"The way we broke out and passed the ball was as well as we have done all season.

"In the second half we had to show a bit of resilience and could, and maybe should, have killed them off on the break.

"We said at half-time the next goal would be crucial, but in the end we didn't need it."

Brian Laws, the Scunthorpe manager, spoke highly of Hereford.

"Give credit to Hereford, they came right out of the traps, didn't they?

"They have obviously gone straight on from their 7-1 win (against Bognor) last Saturday. They were are full of confidence and they have come right at us and not let us settle.

"That first 15 minutes we were all over the place because we couldn't get to the tempo of the game.

"In the first half they wanted it more than us - and it showed. They wrapped the game up in the first half.

"You don't give any team a start like that. They had the first shot, the first tackle, the first header, and we were second best.

The Hereford supporters made their feelings about the Irons well-known.

"Football League, you're having a laugh", chanted the home fans.
