Hereford Match Reaction

Speaking to the Nottingham Evening Post, Shirtliff said "I said to the players at half-time they are going to come out and have a go because their manager is going to get into them," he said.

"I made our players aware what they needed to do to combat that and they did very well.

"We kept them in the final third of the pitch for quite a while and got the third goal which was so important.

Meanwhile Graham Turner slammed his side for their display at the weekend "The simple fact is we are not working hard enough and we are not competitive enough.

"We have stepped up a division and so are playing against better quality players. But we are allowing them too much space and too much time.

"There were too many basic defensive errors which we must put right and, of course, the first goal was an absolute joke."
