Carlisle like Jekyll and Hyde says Ward

John Ward, the Carlisle manager, gave his thoughts on last night's game at Edgar Street to BBC Radio Cumbria.

"It was a Jekyll and Hyde performance from my team, we played pretty well in the first-half without capitalising on the possession that we had. Then in the second period we looked in disarray, and stopped doing the things that we were doing, and trying to improve upon them. Obviously then Hereford came onto the game themselves, they were the better team in the second-half and got the goal when they were on top, which we couldn't find when we were on top in the first period.

"We've made some pretty strange decisions in the second-half which we weren't doing in the first period. I find it really hard to explain or say why that has happened because it is the same group of players over one evening, in one 90 minutes, that have been so different.

"I can't defend Richard Keogh either, at half-time we were talking about decision making and keep your clear mind, and be patient with your football but be bright with it. We have done none of those things in the second period, not none of them, but we have done very few of them. Richard's situation just amplifies it really, it's a silly push, the guy (Steve Guinan) has gone down, he has got to go off, it's a red card. "
