Never Had Three First-Half Subs Before Said Foyle

Hereford United manager Martin Foyle appeared pleased with taking a point at Nuneaton last night but couldn't remember a game where he had to make three first-half substitutes because of injuries.

"I am pleased after the week we've had," Foyle told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"Typical isn't it, Nuneaton have conceeded 27 and we've conceeded 26 and we get a 0-0. I don't think anybody would have banked on that one.

"Delighted with the attitude of the players again. I thought Chris Todd gave us that little bit of experience to read the game situations.

"Especially in the first 25 minutes, I thought we played some very good stuff."

Next Foyle spoke about the three substitutions.

"It seemed so strange.

"Luke coming off first with a tight handstring, Chris with his foot and then Marley.

"Chris's foot has been fine. All of a sudden he has felt a sharp pain which is a little bit concerning.

"Marley's been tight. He's come from non-league football and part-time football. It's taken him a while to toughen up a little.

"Three substitutions in the first half, I've never ever done that.

"What else can go wrong - I honestly thought someone would go off second half.

"After the subs I was delighted with a clean sheet and a point."

Turning to the Braintree match next Saturday, Foyle could be short of a couple of players.

"I'll have to find two from somewhere."

One could be a striker.

"I've got a 20 year old striker and one loan striker.

"If we go down, what can I change to get back into the game.

"I'm also worried about the FA Cup because that's massive for the club financially."
