| Peter Beadle Talking To Former Manager Graham Turner Before Kick-off |
His striking pair of John Mills and Pablo Haysham scored all four Hereford goals with Mills getting a hat-trick.
"Fantastic for them, they are a good combination, a good pair but even if one of them was missing I still think we would have created chances to score goals.
"It was their day today going forward and they probably could have had a couple more each if their finishing had been a little bit better.
"But they are part of a team and couldn't do that without the rest of the players. Fantastic cross for the last goal.
"We're pleased with what they've done today and I'm sure they will be as well."
Keeper Harvey Rivers had little to do but then made an amazing save.
"Fantastic save. I'm quite crictical of the players sometimes and Harvey's kicking wasn't great today but his save was fantastic."
Adam Page came on for Sol Wheatley in the second half.
"He did very well but that's what we've talked about, the depth of our squad.
"The impact he had, his cross was an absolutely fantastic cross. To skip past his marker and hit the cross at the pace he was running at with the quality he did was fantastic."
Beadle felt at times his players were sloppy.
"I said to the players after the game that I'm really glad we got the result but that's the one game I will give them with how sloppy we were.
"We showed a little bit of fear which is understandable so I'll give them this one. 4000 people, the first official game of the season, there was a lot writing on it for the players.
"Hopefully on Tuesday we'll be a bit more relaxed. And as we get more relaxed we'll play much better for longer periods."
Dunkirk scored a consolation goal.
"It wasn't a plus point, I'd rather have won 3-0 than 4-1. I was looking at my watch thinking let's finish it now, clean sheet, that would done their confidence the world of good.
"We are going to come up against teams who will defend well against us and if we don't score we did to make sure we get a clean sheet ourselves.
"Dunkirk were a credit to their club today, they worked their socks off, they got their goal and at times they had some good play.
"Ultimately we just edged it with our technical ability and how much better we were with the ball.
"I'm glad this game is out the way and we move on now and the more games we play the more relaxed we will become and the performances will get better and better.
"Today we were probably about 60% but it was understandable the reasons why, but no excuses going forward."
