Only 42% of possession to Bulls

Hereford United only had 42% of the possession in last evening's game at Mansfield.

The Stags had 14 shots on target some of which Wayne Brown, the Hereford 'keeper, did very well to keep out of the net including a penalty. Hereford had just three shots on target.

As for corners it was the same story - Mansfield had 14, Hereford just 2.

Dean Beckwith was the only booking for the Bulls.

The attendance was 1606 with about 200 (later confirmed as 205) following the Bulls.

Wayne Brown was given a nine for his efforts, had he kept some of his goal kicks from going into touch he might haver had a ten. Robinson received a seven.

One sour note from the evening was the jobsworth attitude and behaviour of a few of the Mansfield stewards. One Hereford supporter was hurt and had to receive treatment at the ground. Another was thrown out of the ground within minutes of the game starting but was allowed in again later.

Finally many of the suporters returning to Herefordshire were delayed by divisions. Firstly the A42 from the M1 was closed, secondly the M42/M5 junction was closed and thirdly the road to Hereford was closed at Worcester.
