We sorted it said Adams

Port Vale manager Micky Adams spoke to their OS after this afternoon's match at Edgar Street. A triple sub by Adams probably helped Vale win the game.

"We had spoken about the way Hereford do their work; a lot of long balls that you have got to deal with, and I think in the first half we were a little bit disjointed," said Adams.

"Our midfield four weren't close enough to our defensive four, so we lacked a bit of cohesion. But we sorted it out in the second half and looked a bit better, but then we went a goal down, so it was a little bit of a shock to the system.

"It looked at one stage, that for all our efforts we weren't going to make the breakthrough.

"To be fair to Hereford, I thought they caused us problems all afternoon; they stuck the ball into the channels and made it very difficult for us from a defensive point of view. At times we looked ok, and at other times we looked a little bit ragged. But we have ground another one out."
