It was not to be - disappointed Turner

With his manager's hat on Graham Turner must have been disappointed with last night's draw with Leeds but wearing his chairman's hat he may be quietly rubbing his hands together with the prospect of a good financial return from the replay at Elland Road.

"We are disappointed that in the last 15 minutes we didn't win the game. There were one or two opportunities but it was not to be," Turner told Hereford Times sports editor Richard Prime who covered the game for the Guardian.

"We had a storming finish and John McCombe could have won it at the end.

"But we've got the draw and the replay. We've been good away from home too, so the players should be confident. Hopefully Leeds will feel they have done the hard work already."

Turner also spoke to the BBC.

"John McCombe's overhead kick on another day goes in and Lionel Ainsworth's header if it goes either side of the keeper is a goal.

"We had the better chances although Leeds a lot of the ball.

"We matched them and I am disappointed with the outcome but we can look forward to a replay at Elland Road.

"The replay will be great experience for our younger players.

"It was not a bad nights work."
