We got away with it - Turner

There's little doubt Hereford United were somewhat lucky to take three points from this afternoon's game against Leyton Orient and manager Graham Turner admitted as much in his post match interview with BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"You've got to say for the last half hour it was a backs to the wall job," said Turner.

"It looked disorganised but there was plenty of spirit, plenty of fight and we got away with it.

"I thought Leyton Orient caused us all sorts of problems up front but at the same time we always looked capable of creating chances ourselves.

"Should have added to our two goals but we've worked hard and got away with one or two things. Delighted with it.

"We should have been 3-0 up. It was a great start going 2-0 up. Then Febs when he got through really should have scored. Once or twice we got around the back, good positions, probably should have made more of.

"But our biggest problem, particularily first half, was set pieces. We didn't seem able to cope with their height. They delivered some good balls. Once or twice we were almost on top of the keeper defending set pieces."

Turner was asked about the substitution of dender Godwin Antwi.

"I didn't think it was happening for him so Karl Broadhurst knows what the game's about and I made the change."

Turner was also asked about whether he would like to extend the loan of young striker Febian Brandy.

"I'm not sure whether we want him!" said Turner not doubt with a large grin on his face.
