Two Bits of Quality was the Difference said Bartlett

Hereford United goalkeeper Adam Bartlett thought the Bulls started this afternoon's match with Shrewsbury Town 'quite well'.

"First ten, fifteen minutes we caused them a few problems," Bartlett told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"But two bits of quality on the day turned it against us.

"I think they were a lot more clinical in the final third.

"It's a great ball in for their first goal. The lad gone between two centre-backs and the second one, he's had too much space. He's got in and took the goal well.

"We're disappointed because of such a big crowd at the game. It was a real chance for us to make amends for how poor our home form has been this season."

Some Hereford supporters thought the second Shrewsbury goal looked offside.

"I think Rob Purdie said in the changing room at half-time that he thinks he played him on. The lad has been clever.

"We're disappointed, we shouldn't be conceeding goals like that.

"It was too easy for them to get the ball and play the pass in the first place.

"Too easy for the cross to come in for the first goal.

"We've got to address the home form because it's ten defeats this season.

"It's embarrassing really when you look at stats like that."

Barts spoke about the hand ball shout just before half-time.

"The most disappointing thing is that the linesman was on that side and he's decided not to give it. Sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't. Today was another one of those days."
