Pitman Pleased with Point

Hereford United manager Jamie Pitman was 'very pleased' to take a point at Bristol Rovers this afternoon.

"We defended very well today and ground out a very good point," Pitman told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"It'a very tough place to come. Paul Buckle knows how to organise his teams well.

"We've come under a bit of pressure but we've had our moments as well.

"It was blustery out there but that's something you've got to cope with.

"This is a result for us to build on. We restricted Rovers to very few chances."

Adam Bartlett and Stuart Fleetwood, sporting a new hairstyle, were both on the bench

Pitman gave a first League start to striker Yoann Arquin in place of Stuart Fleetwood.

"He did very well. Him and Delroy were a threat all day. They stretched the game but they need to break forward a little bit better."

Keeper David Cornell had another good game. Pitman was asked whether he might try and extend his loan.

"I haven't spoken to them (Swansea) yet. He's come in and it's early days. He's done very well.

"But I've got a good goalkeeper in Adam Bartlett.

"We'll have to decide financially if we can keep him."
