Martin Foyle And Andy Porter Leaving Their Dug-Out At The End Of This Afternoon's Defeat By Wrexham |
So it wasn't an easy interview for Foyle to give to BBC Hereford and Worcester's Keith Hall after this afternoon's game.
Hall's first question was what has happened in the last five weeks.
"A lot of things, but I've got to concentrate on the football," said Foyle in a apparant reference to not being allowed to talk about other matters after directions from chairman David Keyte.
"Not the best of starts we wanted, although I thought we started quite well.
"One cross, back of the net and then the confidence seemed to drain out of players.
"Obviously a lot of them haven't played much football and don't know how to handle it.
"All we can do is encourage it and work with the nine fit players we've got for next week. There's two with bad injuries. So we go to Braintree with exactly what we've got."
Rob Purdie was given a role behind striker Chris Sharp this afternoon.
"It was giving him a free role as I'm trying to find a role for him.
"But the times the ball has got to them, we kept giving it away.
"To be honest the final third has been lacking, that's our problem."
Danny Leadbitter was moved forward in the second half, when Purdie moved to right back.
"It did help, we did look a bit better but until we hit the back of the net and a little ruthless in the tackle - there was quite a few pulling out of tackles today, dangling their leg and everything like that.
"I find that quite hard to take."
Foyle then spoke about Sam Smith who came on as a sub today.
"When Smithy came on, they are all booing which I think is totally unacceptable because they need some encouragment.
"It's a difficult time for everything and everybody around this club.
"They can vent it at me, because I'm picking up all the pieces and all the rubbish as usual.
"I'm here to help and encourage what we have got."
Rhys Evans started in goal but was subbed at half-time after an injury.
"He's done a muscle in his arm, then Weston is going with England C and Jamie Edge has got to play for Hartbury college on Wednesday.
"Rob McDonald was ill last night and this morning so the decision was not to play.
"I wish I had a few more Luke Grahams and Don Collins"
