Guinan gets an Eight

Whilst the match sponsors made young striker Febian Brandy the man of the match, the top mark of eight was awarded to fellow striker and captain Steve Guinan.

Peter Gulasci, Richard Jackson, Richard Rose, Toumani Diagouraga, Matt Done and Brandy were all given a seven.

Kris Taylor, Sam Gwynne, Sam Hewson, Godwin Antwi and sub Karl Broadhurst each received a six for their efforts.

For Leyton Orient, former Bull and scorer of their only goal, Tamika Mkandawire was given an eight.

It's doubtful whether the match officials would have been given very high marks as there were a number of surprising decisions through the game although it's unlikely any decision would have changed the final result.

Graham Turner was visibly very annoyed with one particular offside decision from the linesman on the Len Weston side of the ground.

Keith Hall, reporting for H&W, wasn't impressed.

"A lot of the Hereford spectators, myself included, thought one of the linesmen was so far behind play it was untrue," said Hall.

"I don't think he could almost keep up with the way Brandy was moving off the last defender."

Many supporters questioned where all the added time had come from. There were two minutes in the first half and five minutes in the second half.

The three officials were kitted out with microphones and ear pieces.

Meanwhile since Steve Guinan has taken over the captain's armband results have improved. However with Karl Broadhurst back in the squad and probably set to start at Yeovil on Tuesday evening it will be interesting to see if Guinan keeps the armband.
