I'm Gutted For The Players Said Beadle


Steve Jenkins and Peter Beadle
Hereford United manager, Pete Beadle, told BBC Hereford and Worcester that he was gutted for his players after they put on a better performance this afternoon against Grimsby.

"I just said to the boys I'm genuinely gutted for them because they put in such a good shift, played some good stuff, lacked again a little bit in the final third with a little bit of quality," said Beadle.

"We didn't test their keeper enough but certainly did enough to deserve something from the game."

One very good goal separated the sides

"It was a fantastic goal but we think it could have been cut out way before he got into the box. 

"We could maybe have put a bit more pressure on the ball before he came into the box.

"But when you're down there, you're down there, and you keep getting kicked in the stomach all the time, but we've got to roll our sleeves up and keep going.

"Even after the goal we were positive, we stuck almost four up-front and tried to get in the game.

"On another day one drops for us in the box and we get a chance but we're just not getting that luck at the minute.

"We moved the ball quite well at times and we had some nice little passing movements but we just want the end product to go on the end of it.

"Defensively we were pretty sound, they had a couple of half chances.

"When you're playing like we are at the minute you're going to have half chances against you.

"We were pretty sound all over the pitch until he cuts inside and bends one in the top corner which sometimes you can't do much about.

"We'll work again this week and do some more stuff in the final third.

"We knew it wasn't going to change overnight, we're asking them to do different things, to be brighter, to be comfortable and trust people with the ball and they're doing it.

"But we're just not opening teams up yet."

Beadle admitted the team needs a goal.

"We just need that goal, we need to get that goal, we need that bit of luck or a bit of magic like Grimsby had today.

"We need someone to come up and get us that goal.

"A goal would have been a big plus for us today but we didn't get it.

"Fair play to Grimsby they came and did a job."
