After today's woeful 2-0 defeat at home to Ashton United, Hereford's interim player-manager admitted the players liked the sacked management duo and now he's got to try sand keep their heads up.
Ryan Green said it had been a hard week and Hereford crumbled after Ashton United scored the opening goal after 17 minutes.
"The first ten minutes we were absolutely on fire, I thought there was only one winner at that point, but as soon as they scored it looked like we crumbled a little bit," Green told BBC H&W's Keith Hall.

"To be honest with you we weren't at the races, we were trying things too much that didn't work off. The lads gave me 100% and I can't ask for nothing more, it's just one of them days.
"We've got a few injuries and suspensions, it's been a hard week for everyone because everyone liked Beads and Jenks, myself on behalf of the team wants to wish them all the best in the future, they've been brilliant, they've done a great job and can leave with their heads held high as legends. We wish them luck as a team.
"First ten minutes there's only one winner, and then the second goal was too easy. We tried to force too many things and nothing paid off. If I scored my header which hit the crossbar the game changes, it's about fine margins.
"We've got to get confidence in the lads, it's been a tough week with Beads and Jenks leaving, we've just got to keep their heads up and keep everyone happy."
Green and Gareth Davies, the interim Head of Football, might have to talk to the board about bringing some fresh faces in on loan as the squad is now blighted with injuries and suspensions.
Jordan Lam, Billy Murphy and Ryan Green were forced off during the game, with Lance Smith unable to start as he's still struggling.

"First thing now is getting the boys on the pitch," added Green.
"I've picked up a tendon injury, it could be a week or a month, Billy's got a little knock, we wanted to start Lance today but he's struggling and then the suspensions obviously.

"We haven't asked that question. On Thursday we had enough players, but now we might have to have that chat with them because we're running short now.
"We might have to bring some of the youth boys in but what will be will be, we'll speak to the board and see what we can do."
