No Positives Whatsoever From Today's Game Said Green


Interim player-manager Ryan Green said there were no positives to take away from today's 3-0 defeat against Spennymoor Town.

Green said Hereford had been killed off within the opening 25 minutes after going a goal and a man down after Callum Sanity was shown a straight red for a bad challenge.

"A bad day at the office, to go one-nil down to an individual error and then going down to ten men just killed us off to be honest," said Green."

"We weren't at the races today and there's no excuses.

"We had a bright start against Ashton, went one-nil down, we crumbled and it's happened again today. The red card didn't help but it's been a bad day.

"He (Callum Sainty) got the ball but he's shown his studs. In this day and age you can't do it, four or five years ago yes and you'd applaud it, but nowadays you can't get away with it. We'll have to have another look at it because we were on the other side of the pitch.

Spennymoor deserved the win and were well-organised. In the second half in particular they controlled possession exceptionally well.

"I don't think they (Spennymoor) broke sweat to be honest, they were organised and good on the counter-attack," Green added.

"They were fully deserved winners. Their number nine was a good player, good in the air, good finisher. They ran non-stop all over, they looked comfortable.

"Gareth's had a quick chat with the players then, but positives? None at all if I'm being totally honest, no positives whatsoever. We've got to move on to Tuesday and get everyone together. 

"I don't know if there'll be a new manager in, that's not down to me it's down to the board. We've got to rally the troops and get going.

"It's lucky for us now that we don't have to wait as week for a game. We've got a game on Tuesday to put it right and then it won't be a bad week, three points from two games."

As for Green, he was only on the bench today as he still hasn't recovered from his previous injury and has now hurt his neck after playing 120 minutes against Truro City on Wednesday.

Green said: "I shouldn't have played Wednesday night but we were short of numbers, I stepped in and played 120 minutes. 

"I've hurt my neck a little bit, I'm getting on a bit so I've got to look after myself, but Jordan was fit so he came straight back in but hopefully I'll be avaiable for Tuesday at Chester."
