Jervis will get better says Pitman

After last night's 2-1 win over Morecambe, Jamie Pitman told BBC Hereford and Worcester that on loan striker Jake Jervis will improve. He stepped into Mathieu Manset's former position.

"We are going to do what we've doing," said the Hereford United manager

"The thing that Jake brings us, that Mathieu didn't, is that he's got a lot of energy and he works very hard and he's very mobile.

"And to be fair to him he could have scored.

"He's disappointed but he got in those positions and he can finish so I think he'll go from strength to strength."

Pitman also spoke about the match in general.

"Defensively we kept our shape very well and were very hard to break. Going forward we were very bright on the break and we consolidated well.

"In the first half we had two or three breakaway raids which possibly we could have scored from - their goalkeeper (Barry Roche) also made a couple of good saves to deny us.

"I don't know what the stats are but I would like to think we have had a fair few shots maybe from long distance.

"The players have worked very hard as a team since the start of the year."
