We missed Purdie said Pitman

In his post match interview at Adams Park Hereford United manager Jamie Pitman said he felt that Rob Purdie's hamstring injury during the first half disrupted the Bulls.

"He's had a bit of a tight hamstring for a few days," Pitman told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"He tried to continue with it but obviously it's gone again today which is a big disappointment.

"He looked good and maybe when he came off it disrupted us a little bit."

Of the game itself Pitman seemed reasonably pleased with the performance overall but was disappointed to be one nil down at half-time.

"We changed a few things second half and got our goal but we haven't been able to see the game out.

"If we can't see the game out we're going to be in trouble every week.

"Manset took his goal well. Good to see him getting a goal but he needs to take his opportunities when they come around."

Pitman was asked about the chances of playing at Edgar Street on Tuesday.

"We've still got snow on the pitch. There's an inspection tomorrow at 11am.

"As it looks at the moment it's going to be very difficult to get it on."
