A Well Earned Point Said Foyle


Hereford United manager Martin Foyle thought today's goal-less draw against Luton at Edgar Street was a 'very, very well earned point'. Nevertheless the Bulls only had one shot on target which Foyle noted.

"The lads have worked very hard," Foyle told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"There's a few in the team that have played three games very very quick and it looked like it caught up on them today.

"When you're unbeaten on two you don't want to change a winning side.

"I thought the defence was outstanding, the goalkeeper brought off a couple of great saves at the right times and the midfield too.

"I thought Greeny was tiring, Kings three games in a week after being out, fair play to him.

"My criticism is probably with the front boys at the moment, not making it stick.

"The good thing is it's not just one, it's all of them.

"The last ball, the last bit of hold-up play, a bit of anticipation, go and have a fight with the centre-half, put your arms and body into people.

"And we probably had the best chances, we had a couple in the first half, then Bodie hit the post and Eric had a great chance around the back to stick one in.

"0-0 against Luton Town the favourites you can't complain but if we don't make our front boys better then we are going to have problems."

The Bulls stuck to 4-4-2 this afternoon.

"We've had to go tight because we've been conceeding sloppy goals and we did have a spate of probably three or four games conceeding twos.

"Now we've gone to the clean sheets and ones, if you do that you've got a great chance of winning a game of football."

The Bulls have a week off until next SaturdaY when they travel to league-leaders Cambridge United.

"We've got a week now to rest up and to be honest four of five need a good rest."

Foyle was then asked about the two loan players, Michael West and Paul Green, whose loan spells finish this weekend.

"I've spoken to them but it was a case that I had to get through today's game because we've had so many injuries in so many different positions.

"We trained yesterday and Dom Collins fell down and his shoulder popped out, right I've got to get a centre-half.

"It's been a nightmare, it's been a long week especially with the tribunal and the games we've gone to and the games we had.

"I'm going to put my feet up for a day then go and watch a couple of games.

"The loan market is going to be important for us."
