Things are going great says Pitman

In his post match interview Hereford United care-taker manager Jamie Pitman had plenty to be pleased about after coming through his fourth league match.

"Things are going great at the moment and that's down to the players," he said as reported by the Telegraph.

"We're just guiding them a little bit.

"We've worked in the week about defending and we've got a clean sheet. They've been excellent - all four of them at the back. Defensively the whole side have worked hard.

"Rob Purdie (pictured) is a quality player and he's just got to play. He brought that bit extra to us and I'm really pleased with him to score a couple of goals.

"We moved the ball well. In the four weeks we've been involved we're gradually getting better and better and hopefully the penny's dropped that we can perform, but first and foremost we have to work hard."

Meanwhile Stockport manager Paul Simpson wasn't so pleased.

"We got what we deserved today," he told BBC Radio Manchester.

"Unfortunately we've been beaten by a side that's done all the basic things properly and we've just been kamikaze the way we've defended.

"We haven't dealt with [Kenny] Lunt playing in that hole just off the big fella Manset. As a team you've got to be organised and get people screaming, but unfortunately we haven't done.

"We've got to get ourselves dusted down as these are the same players that have been on a decent run of late but they've had a real wake up call today.

"We've got to try to address how we've caused ourselves problems, how to communicate with each other and get a better understanding as we haven't made Hereford work hard for their goals."
