Chairman Keyte In The Dressing Room

Hereford United chairman David Keyte paid a pre-match visit to the dressing room to try and help lift the spirits of his players and by all accounts it worked.

When word of Keyte's visit reached BBC Hereford and Worcester, a parallel was made with Wolves chairman Steve Morgan's recent visit to the dressing room. Not long after manager Mick McCarthy was sacked.

But the outcome at Edgar Street was three points and Keyte's visit was noted by captain Rob Purdie.

"The chairman got himself involved and had a few words.

"He pulled us together."

H&W's Keith Hall felt the chairman had got it right.

"He went into the dressing today," said Hall.

"We were talking pre-match about does that really work, does that put extra pressure on the players.

"I think it did work today because again Rob Purdie the captain also made reference to it.

"So it was good to see the chairman involved making sure the players are aware of their responsibilities and what they've got to do and show they have a desire to play for the club."
