Hereford United manager Jamie Pitman has told BBC Hereford and Worcester that it was 'fantastic' to get a home win against AFC Wimbledon this afternoon.
"It sort of proves how much these players do want to do it," said Pitman.
"There have been question marks against them but I've never questioned them. They are an honest bunch of lads who really do work hard.
"The first half was very difficult especially against a side with long throws that were coming in the box and defending those.
"I thought we coped with it very well today."
The two Hereford goals were well worked and Pitman was quick to praise two of his young players who scored.
"Tom is going to be one hell of a player if he keeps on going the same way. And what makes it even better he's an absolute delight to have.
"He's great kid, wants to learn and he's got a knack of being able to be in the right place at the right time.
"I feel the same about Lyle. I look at him and I see him in training and I know what he is capable of.
"He really wants to get across his man and he certainly has a goal in him. And I think he is learning that role for him out wide.
"It's been difficult for him but I think he is getting better all the time."
Pitman spoke of his relief in holding onto the lead this afternoon.
"I think it was very important probably for my sanity as much as anything because the last week has been an unbelievable roller-coaster ride.
"A week I'll probably never forget. A week that hopefully will define us as a football club."
