Battered Purdie Happy With Massive Win

Rob Purdie broke his nose at Gillingham last Tuesday and was momentarily knocked unconcious this afternoon when a ball hit him, but he was still very pleased with the Bulls' first win at Edgar Street since October.

"It's massive for us," Purdie told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"It's been a tough game and we probably haven't played as well as we have in the last two or three which is ironic but we have got the three points and that's the main thing for the club, the chairman, the fans, the players, everyone.

"We wanted to defend the hill first half and we had to sustain quite a lot of pressure but the two goals we scored came from good little moves."

Hereford had to defend deep after Wimbledon got their goal.

"It was always going to happen especially after they scored with twenty minutes to go. But I think we were a bit more resilient than we have been."

Purdie was captain this afternoon.

"It an honour to be captain. I'm happy to wear the arm-band.

"It seems to give me an edge as well that I don't quite have without the arm-band.

"I think the players have taken to it okay which was a big thing as well."

Purdie spoke about his knocks.

"I've still got my broken nose from Tuesday and I took one on the head today which I can't quite remember about. I think it was a shot that hit me on the back of the head.

"It comes as part and parcel of the game especially when you are down at the bottom."
