Oates - One Of Our Most Consistent Performers



Jimmy Oates
Yesterday Hereford FC defender Jimmy Oates was selected by the game sponsors, ADP Distribution, as the man of the match.

Manager Peter Beadle spoke about him in his post match interview with BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"I think he's been probably along with Aaron Birch one of our most consistent performers this year.

"Bearing in mind where he came from, he is at Harpbury but he never played football at all last year so when you think at the beginning of the season a completely different environment of football.

"He's played in the 'A' league in Australia so he used to playing at a decent level but I think it took him a little bit of time to get used to his surroundings.

"May be we didn't see the best of him in his first couple of games but I certainly think after that when he came back into the side at right back, he's just gone from strength to strength.

"Very rarely do you see anyone go past him and he brings us a lot going forward. He's just a fantastic defender and a really good footballer and again a really nice lad.

Oates Going Forward Into The Box Yesterday
"I think him and Aaron have been a little bit unsung. Obviously Ryan everyone talks about because he's been here before, Rob the same. Dylan was here previously and obviously the front boys are all scoring goals.

"So I think sometimes they do get forgotten about, Joel, Jimmy and Aaron but all of them today have been fantastic.

"Jimmy has put in another great performance worthy of the Man of the Match."
