We Need To Be More Ruthless Said Beadle



Hereford returned to winning ways this afternoon with a 4-2 win at Farnborough.

BBC H&W's reporter Keith Hall started by asking Hereford manager Pete Beadle about the importance of bouncing back.

"Always important to bounce back with the right result, and the performance was good as well in patches.

"The pitch was difficult, but we worked it quite well. We seemed to control long periods of the first half without really creating too many chances at one point.

"But then John [Mills] had a chance, Lance [Smith] had a chance and then eventually we got the break through. Second half we stepped it up again, got the second goal which was really well worked."

Jamie Bird scored Hereford's second, heading home Jimmy Oates' cross. After the goal, a flare caused a stoppage in play and Farnborough's Lewis Ferrell was sent off - reportedly for throwing the flare back into the crowd.

"Lovely bit of play from the two on the right hand side. Great cross and Jamie came in with great timing and got a fantastic header on.

"We were comfortable but then we had a break in play with the incident with the flare. They [Farnborough] had a player sent off, so you think maybe things are going our way.

"A lot of players would've done the same and reacted in the same way. He was red carded for sending the flare back into the crowd.

"We want the fans to come and do what they do best - which is support us, sing, be noisy and be loud. Enjoy when we win, stick behind us when we don't. But we don't want that [flares etc].

Onto James Bowen - he's set to join Hereford on loan. Bulls News spoke to Beadle about it.

"Once the paperwork is done he'll be available. We've only got one natural left-sider in the club at the moment with Cameron [Pring] so we need to make sure we've got a backup.

"We also know James can play further up the pitch, so he comes as a double-edged sword because he can play a bit further up if we need him to.

"We need to be as strong as we can for the last couple months of the season. As we've had so many games already, it makes sense to keep adding one or two additions if we can."

Beadle said he was approached by Solihull Moors about taking Bowen on loan.

"We were watching and waiting, thinking about making an approach and speaking to them. But as it was, they contacted us and said we want him to get some games, would you take him back? Of course we would, we'd love to have him back!"
