Green thought it was a fair result

Ryan Green, the former Hereford United player who now plies his trade with so-called bigger club Bristol Rovers, thought yesterday's result was fair.

However Green could have stolen the game for the Gasheads in the dying moments of the game.

"It was there for me - a great ball through from Stuart Campbell and I saw the gap and sprinted in," Green told the Western Daily Press.

"But my first touch was poor and then I just whacked it and hoped for the best - but it found the outside of the net."

Meanwhile another former Bull, David Brown, has returned to Accrington after a loan spell at Burton and was put straight back into the starting line-up yesterday against Bury. The game was drawn.

The local Citizen newspaper noted that 'for whatever reason, Brown had fallen out of favour with manager John Coleman before his brief spell back in the Conference. At former club Hereford United in October, the 27-year-old made his first Stanley start of the season, but was loaned out soon afterwards.

'However, on his return to the fold, he seemed to buzz with the kind of confidence that comes with playing first team football, zipped about the pitch causing problems for the Bury back line, and in doing so earned the penalty that handed the Reds a vital lead.'
