I'm pleased to be here says Trewick

"Yes, I'm pleased to be here," said the new Hereford United coach, John Trewick, in an interview with Trevor Owens for BBC Hereford and Worcester broadcast this weekend.

"The challenge of trying to take the club forward alongside Graham (Turner) is one I'm really looking forward to.

"It's no secret that Hereford had a good year last year. Three or four players have left, we have got to replace them with the right sort of quality and able to fit into the system. Let's just pick it up again and hopefully have a successful year.

"The challenge for me now is to focus on getting the right result at the end of the week. I've come from youth team level at Wolves but to pit your wits against other coaches at a good level is what I'm looking forward to.

"If you can get the result playing attractive football, which is what I want to do, then so be it. But if you need to battle and scrap, and do the horrible things to get a 1-0 victory away from home at some place down on the coast or up in the north-east then that's what you have to do.

Asked if Hereford having a decent season last year was a factor in coming to Edgar Street Trewick said:"Definitely, Graham Turner is a real football man. He's done a terrific job at the football club over the last few years. And I know Richard O'Kelly very, very well. We share the same philosophy in how the game should be played. So there is a lot of continuity there and I'm just looking forward to working with the squad.

"There is a good nucleus left from last year, and with the right additions I think we can have a good season.

"I'm a big beleiver in players actually enjoying what they are doing. If the players have got a smile on their faces when they come through the door in the mornings and there are good training and coaching sessions put on for them, and the matches are played in an attractive style that they enjoy playing then you are half way there to winning the battle with the players.

"My priority at the moment is to get to know the players and staff here at Hereford."
