A reality check from Tretton
Even if the result was not quite as decisive as other recent games, Hereford fans at Edgar Street were in buoyant mood signing We are top of the League as soon as the first goal went in this afternoon.
But Andy Tretton admitted to BBC Hereford and Worcester after the game: "It wasn't as fluid today as we have been in previous weeks but a win is a win. Maybe a bit of a reality check because we are not going to be scoring three or four goals every week.
"Scarborough today set out a game plan putting eight or nine players behind the ball which was a testiment to how we have been playing.
"The first half was a little bit scrappy but we managed to score a tremendous free-kick through Michael Rose. That was important today because we were struggling to break them down from open play."
The second goal also came as a result of a free-kick and Tretton commented: "Today the fans were especially good because it wasn't going very well for us in the first half but they stuck with us and we managed to come through for them in the end. It was a tremendous attendance."
Michael Rose added: "We've not played well, but we've got the three points. It was just one of those games that we needed to win but Scarborough made it hard for us.
"I struck the ball well for my goal and it's always nice to see them go in."
Russell Slade, the Scarborough manager added: "The damage was done from the two set-plays. We knew that they were very strong from set-plays."
"I sat on the bench and said they would score from the second one and that's exacty what they did."
