Difficult evening for team and supporters.

Hereford United will bounce back from the defeat at Cambridge last night, but will need to give some thought as to why the defence let in two goals.

Those supporters at the game were dismayed to see Tony James lose the ball when attempting to dribble forward, which resulted in Cambridge's first goal.

The second goal appeared to come off a defender into the path of a Cambridge forward. Those watching on Sky would have had a better view of this goal than the 261 Bulls' fans who were at the far end of the ground.

At least we were lucky to see the game. Some Hereford United supporters caught up in the travel problems in Worcestershire failed to reach the ground.

With an accident on the M5 and one on the M42, many were caught up in the jams. There was a fatality in both accidents.

Luckily we were alerted by the travel news on BBC Hereford and Worcester that there were problems ahead and so took the Stratford route out of Worcester. Although this route was very slow we arrived at the ground in good time. Had it not been for H@W, we could have been stuck for sometime.

Before entering the ground, we had to walk over a cattle grid and through a small field which had been grazed by cattle. They had left their mark all over the path.

Cambridge United claim that their bacon rolls have won an award, so having entered the ground, several were purchased. They were awful. It appears that the bacon pre-cooked before reaching the ground. Perhaps it was left over from last season. They did give us a refund.

After Saturday's four goals, fans were looking for a repeat. And when the messeage came through that Stevenage's Maamria had been sent off, spirits rose. The first half was a well contested affair and when Cambridge took the lead, the feeling was that the Bulls would bounce back. They did but it wasn't enough.

The journey back was less eventful, until motorway signs showed the M5 still shut. Luckily the signs were incorrect.
