Penalties Change Games - Davey

Hereford United manager Simon Davey said that the two penalties in this afternoon's game at Chesterfield changed the game.

"They had a very soft one in the first five minutes," Davey told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"Sean (Canham) said he touched his back but he's gone down very easily. Referee's given a penalty. Then a deflected goal so we're 2-0 down and we're up against it.

"We came out and had a head of steam. We got our penalty. I felt the goalkeeper should go in those situations which would have changed the game.

"The keeper saved it. That changed the game. We lost our head of steam. They get another chance and it's in the back of the net.

"You've got to hold your hands up and say their finishing was better than ours, and they defended better than us.

"I've look at our games over the last couple of weeks and defensively we've been sound and the back four have looked really strong.

"But today we've been at sixes and sevens and I've got to admit we didn't defend well enough.

"I think we passed the ball better. I thought we created chances. We've hit the post, we've had a penalty.

"But we've come away and not scored again.

"It's one we are going to have to put in a drawer and hide away."
