Manager's Comments after Today's Game

Macclesfield manager Ian Brightwell gave the Manchester Evening News these comments after this afternoon's game at Moss Road.

"I'm not pleased that we lost but I couldn't have asked for much more from the players, apart from converting a few chances. From a playing point of view I thought we did pretty well but that's little consolation even though their manager has come up and said that we should have got more from the game. So they know that but when we look in the papers tomorrow it will say 1-0 to Hereford and that's what counts.

"I'm not worried about our league position at the moment but I am worried that we're not picking up enough points. We're not panicking and I've told the players not to panic, though I'm very disappointed and of course so are they.

"Once again we created far more chances than they did, got the ball into the right area but just couldn't score, then at the other end there was one split-second where we turned off, but split-seconds cost you football matches."

Hereford's manager Graham Turner told the Official Site that he was pleased his side had recorded a win after the defeat by Morecambe.

"It was a victory we desparately needed. The aim was not to lose two on the trot.

"We had to grind out a result again. It wasn't sparkling. It was hard work.

"Once again it was a bit like Bury with us scoring the only goal."

Turner had a few words of praise for goal-scorer Theo Robinson.

"He's got that nasty habit of putting the ball in the back of the net. When-ever he plays he's always likely to get us a goal. Once again he has come up trumps."
