Baker aims for swift comeback

Hereford United goalkeeper Matt Baker was on the end of a 4-1 defeat at Burton Albion yesterday, but is confident that the Bulls can bounce back.

Speaking after the full-time whistle to BBC Hereford & Worcester, Baker said: "4-1 sounds like an absolute mauling, but I can assure you than in the second half we had the lion's share of the possession and were unfortunate not to get one back earlier on.

"At 3-1 we had an outside chance but for them to break and score a fourth killed the game."

United host Telford on Tuesday night, and Baker reckons that the Bulls can bounce back with a win.

"How we respond is important," he said. "There is plenty of spirit in our dressing room and I don't think it'll be a problem.

"We've been a victim of our own success by winning seven out of our first eight games, and people just expect things to happen. We were going to come unstuck at some point, and hopefully we can forget it and start again.

"Our home form has been good this year, and have had excellent backing from the fans. Hopefully, the fans will get behind us on Tuesday night and we can bounce back in the correct manner."
