"We were a bit like our old selves with the pace and movement of our attacks," said Turner as reported by the League Paper.

"We made ourselves a little uncomfortable in the second half when we got a little bit sloppy. They are always a threat with big Jason Lee up front, but I thought we deserved to win.

"The new lads did a good job for us with Steve guinan obviously capping it with his two goals and Ben Smith unlucky with the one that hit the post."

As regards more additions to the squad Turner told the Nottingham Evening Post:

"We worked hard towards the end of the week to get further players in. We will have to wait and see. There may possibly be one more, maybe even two before the deadline."

Steve Thompson, the Magpies manager, must have made the quote of the day with this statement.

"If we had been capable of not conceding then I think we could have won the game."

Thompson also had a go at the officials.

"I was disappointed with the officials. I thought their second goal was blatantly offside, but you can't fight that. We've had the Referee and Linesman before; and the thing is these days the game is getting quicker and the Official's are getting slower and they can't keep up with the game."

The possession stats for yesterday's game gave Hereford 60% and Notts County 40%.

Finally West Mercia's finest must have had a day off yesterday as there was no sign of any police around the ground.
