York care-taker manager Sam Collins gave his reaction to the 1-1 draw at Hereford this afternoon.
“I thought we were in control of the game in the first half other than a couple of chances they had from set-plays," said Collins speaking to the York Media.
“We were looking to play the way we are capable of doing and we opened them up a few times but, in the second half, we didn’t have any good possession other than a ten-minute spell after they scored. Their goal was also disappointing because we lost possession by playing a ball forward.
“We were nowhere near their man on the edge of the box either for the shot and it looked like Adam Bartlett was unsighted. The only time we have problems is when we cause them ourselves by being wasteful with the ball but we’re getting there and getting better as the players get used to how I want to play.
“I thought Hessie (Simon Heslop) was outstanding and I don’t think he gave the ball away once. Our two centre-halves were nice and solid defensively too.
“Overall, we weren’t as good as we were on Monday (in a 2-0 home win against Blyth), but Hereford will be a tough place for anybody to come and get three points with their crowd behind them and we’d have probably taken one before the game.”
