Rovers are a good side - Turner

In his post match interview with BBC Hereford and Worcester Graham Turner admitted that poor defending in the first half had probably cost the Bulls any chance of a result from this evening's game with Bristol Rovers.

"You can't defend like we did in the first half and hope to get away with it," said Turner.

"The wall wasn't right for the first goal from the free kick. We allowed Lambert too much room for the second one. We were defensively quite poor.

"We had to try and rally the troops at half-time.

"I thought the key to the second half was just keeping the shape, keeping the discipline, working a bit harder and hope to get back in the game.

"We were a trifle unfortunate with the one when Matt Done hit the post at a key time. Had he have scored that one we might have made a game of it.

"They were clearly a better side than us for the first 45 minutes by miles. A lot sharper, a lot brighter but a lot of it was our own problems allowing them too much room, too much time and not defending our set pieces properly."

As regards the penalty Turner said the referee was in a good position.

"We can't really argue, that just killed the game off totally.

"We have to hold our hands up and say they are a good side."
