Reaction From Huddersfield

Speaking to BBC Hereford & Worcester, Graham Turner though the Bulls should have won the game: "First of all I though we played ever so well second half. I think that we started the game well in the first half but got a bit disorganised with the method that Huddersfield were playing with three centre halves and a deep lying midfield player. We sorted one or two things out at half time and I thought we had a terrific second half and I can't believe we've lost the game - and nor can the players.

"I think we had a good shout for a penalty right before they scored, but we created a string of good chances, some of which we didn't do very well with others that the goalkeeper made some very good saves.

"Disappointed with the outcome of it all, encouraged by the level of work, performance, spirit in the side. And if they show that repeatedly we'll get out of trouble."

Huddersfield boss Lee Clark was delighted with the win, telling their official site: "It was very good! I knew I was inheriting a good, confident group of lads but what they did show in the second-half, when we had a twenty minute spell of being under pressure, was that they are all prepared to stand up and be counted.

"Hereford came into the game in the second-half and caused us a few problems down the wide areas - their full-backs were getting on the ball too easily. We were getting a bit stretched and we had to stop that, so we switched to a 4-4-2 to try and get on the ball ourselves and build some momentum. Basically, we had to stop their full-backs dictating the pace of the game and once we changed we started creating chances again before getting the first goal at a vital time. To be fair to the lads they might have been a little bit flat after the interval because they have given me absolutely everything in training this week; perhaps that took a little bit of a toll on them."
