Speaking after yesterday's goal-less draw at Darlington, Russell Slade started with the sending off of Tommy O'Sullivan.
"Obviously the dynamics of the game changed in the 28th minute when we lost Tom for a second bookable offence," said the Hereford manager.
"I'll have to have a look at both of those.
"I think it has caught the top of his arm, his shoulder, with the second one. The first one I'm not sure of, I'd like to have a look at that again.
"There didn't seem to be too much going our way in those early stages.
"I had just adjusted the team slightly to push Tom further forward, just in behind Styche. That was hopefully going to settle us down a little bit as we were grinding our way back into the game.
"But the dynamics of the game changed with that sending-off. It's a different game then and we had to be nice and compact and look for our moments of trying to steal a win if we possibly could.
"I thought our goalkeeper was magnificent, our back four put their bodies on the line, our midfield worked tiredlessly.
"We did everything we possibly could and there was just a moment towards the end when Nicholson let fly and that could quite easily have gone in because it beat the keeper and we might have got something. And even in the first half Vincenti's header.
"But we had to defend like our lives depended on it and that's what we did.
"102 minutes they's had to defend.
"It was incredible some of the blocks, that picking up and tying up with an opponent in the box I thought we did, by and large, really, really well."
Was Slade pleased the squad had travelled up on Friday?
"We know they are eating, we know they are sleeping properly and the preparation was very good.
"In a nice room we went through the game plan, okay some of that went out the window after 28 minutes when we went down to ten men but we were prepared for what Darlington had to throw at us.
"The good thing was everybody knew their jobs and they went and executed it"
Also in his interview Slade mentioned that defender Marin Riley was back in full training and admitted that 'odd one' might go out on loan.
"I don't want them sitting at home wasting away because we might need them"
