Buckle Notes Bittner's Performance


Luton manager Paul Buckle felt it was correct to give Hereford keeper James Bittner the man of the match award after he kept a clean sheet last night despite constant pressure from the Hatters.

"Hereford have scored a very well-taken goal and got their noses in front and after that they've looked after it and have sat in to protect it," Buckle told the press.

"It's frustrating, but if we're going to lose that's the way to do it. 

"We know we can't just turn up at places like Hereford and for it to just happen, and I told the lads that before the game. We were bright, alert but I just don't know how we haven't scored."

"You know you're doing something right when the oppositions' keeper is man-of-the-match.
 
"We were continually putting them under pressure.

"Hereford had come off the back of beating a League 1 side on Saturday so we knew it would be tough.

"But at times they were holding on for dear life, especially at the end, and I thought it was only a matter of time before we scored.

"I'm frustrated we haven't closed their man down for the goal, but I can't pick any player of mine who was poor tonight.

"On another day we win so it's important we don't be too despondent."
