A Real Hammering - Trewick

Hereford United manager John Trewick spoke to BBC Hereford and Worcester after today's game at Meadow Lane.

"I look back to the first half where we had several opportunities to score then gave away an awful goal and goals change games.

"I thought at the start of the second half we might have had an opportunity to get back in it but very soon we conceded the second from a break-away.

"After that we might as well forget about it as we somebody sent off, then another sent off and ended up with two less players on the pitch.

"Five at the end was a real hammering and that's what it was.

"We might appeal (against Downing's red card)."

Trewick was quite pleased with his young central defender pairing of Preston and Downing.

"For the first half I thought they did well. County didn't have many opportunities, we had better opportunities to score.

"McCallum probably had the best chance of the match. We really should have had a goal, their goal was a gift. It was disappointing to go in 1-0, the two boys did well.

"Second half, everything was disintegrating and it was very very tough."

Meanwhile Notts County manager Steve Coterill did have some symphathy for Hereford.

"I think we have to give a fair amount of credit to Hereford. The two sendings-off were red cards by the letter of the law but you feel sorry for any team when they go down to nine men.

"The one thing we didn't do is pass for the sake of passing when we were a few goals up. We didn't look for the crowd to ole - that would have annoyed me.

"I think we were humble in our play, we actually went looking for more goals."
