Hartlepool Reaction to Bulls Cup Victory

Hartlepool United assistant manager Ian Butterworth has commented on the game this afternoon at Hereford.

"Naturally we're all disappointed," Butterworth told the Hartlepool United Official Website.

"It's always a blow to lose an FA Cup tie but we need to sort things out because we haven't won a League game in four and now we've lost out FA Cup tie as well.

"We need to get some work done for Tuesday and be right for the Tranmere game.
We're conceding sloppy goals at crucial times.

"Today isn't the first example of that and we need to cut it out because it's costing us dearly."

Graham Turner, Hereford United's manager, has also spoken to the media. (His words are from the Official Site)

"The victory - I thought it was hard earned. I thought we had to defend very well at times.

"They always looked dangerous on the break in the second half. Hartlepool had a lot of the ball without really opening us up too many times. It's a good victory for us."
