But what went wrong?
"The first 20 minutes was very significant, we didn’t get going,” said manager Russell Slade in his post-match interview.
"It was a bottomless pitch, it wasn’t an easy surface, but we just gifted them two goals and a 2-0 lead. It looked quite simple for them really, we didn’t value with the basics well enough, deal with the basics well enough.
"What do I mean by that? I mean getting up to the ball stopping the cross. If we can’t stop the cross then tie up in the box,defend it, head it, first contact, second contact.
"You’ve got to do that at these places every single time, you can’t do it on an ad-hoc basis. It's got to be every single time. And because we've let ourselves down, we find ourselves 2-0 down and that’s not easy.And that's given them something to fight for.
Was there a hangover from Tuesday?
"I don't know. Do you know what I don’t like making excuses, excuses are useless, so I don’t want my players to have that excuse and I’ve told them that.
"And I think they need to go, they need to be accountable, they need to go home and to think about their own performance because quite frankly today it wasn’t good enough. It’s lacked consistency.
"There might have been tired limbs but we can’t go searching for excuses and reasons why we haven’t won the game because you saw in the second half we took the ball, it wasn’t all about physicality in the second half because we looked like the team who were fittest and strongest.
"Some of our final ball wasn't good enough and their goalkeeper took most of the balls that came in the box, but we still had chances, we still worked the keeper, but we were chasing the game so it makes it so difficult."
There were two penalties in the game.
"I think they were both penalties, reasonable shouts and I could see why he gave both of them.
Slade gave new signing Kelsey Mooney from Aston Villa some minutes late in the game.
"He did okay. He’s got good movement and finds a little bit of space. He has got a shot off and was a little bit unlucky and then he has had an opportunity which it dropped to his foot and came really late to him so he didn't quite see it.
"It was a little opportunity and I think if he has a few games, he might be a little bit sharper, might be able to poke that in."
It will be either 10 or 14 days before Hereford's next league game. Time to bed in the new players?
"Yes, definitely.
"We just need to get that balance right.
"As you know Steve Dawson is joining us. We were hoping the paperwork would get through for today’s game but it hasn’t. But he will be with us.
"A very experienced and very influential and very knowledgeable midfielder. I think that will give him time to get used to the lads. He's come today, he's had a little run on the pitch in the warm-up. He will be a huge influence in the changing rooms in terms of helping the younger players around him.
"We're disappointed the signing hasn't come through, through the EFL because we established the signing on Thursday.
Where's the width coming from?
"Jordan Nicholson, Jordan was excellent two or three games ago but for one reason or another not quite where he was.
"It's something we'll have to look at, I've had a look at Brad Ash there, Jordan out there, Pete on one side as well. It might be something we have to address going forward but those two players, Vincenti and Nicholson, are very capable on their day."
What do you make of the National North League?
"Most leagues are competitive, but it’s the consistency it lacks from week to week.
"We have shown that today, we’ve had three straight wins in the league and then we come here and we disappoint ourselves by giving ourselves so much to do. We had to score four goals today away from home to win a football match.
“That’s the bottom line and that’s asking a lot of any team to come and do that. Six new players in their side today, all wanted to make an impression.
"It was never going to be an easy place to come too but we still had the capability to go out there and win a football match and we’ve let ourselves down."
