The Shrewsbury View

Shrewsbury manager Paul Simpson gave his view on this afternoon's game to the press.

"I thought we showed a great attitude today and were deserved winners despite going a goal down early on.

"I did think we started the game well and they scored a little bit against the run of play following a lapse in concentration.

"We keep emphasising to our back four that theyhave to be aware of where the strikers are, unfortunately we got a bit too close to Constantine and he's punished us.

"I thought we showed great quality from set pieces with people willing to get on the end and that's what gave us the victory in the end.

"The second half saw Hereford come back into the game and Town go a little flat at times.

"It was a good win for Town but meant more as it was a win over one of the local rivals.The Prostar had one of the best atmosphere's it's seen in a while with the 5000 plus Town fans responding to the performance on the pitch: "It's a local derby and we've gone about thing s the right way and have sent Hereford home with nothing today."
