| Connor Woods Scored Southport's Second Goal Having Rounded Brandon Hall |
After their deserved three points against Hereford yesterday, Southport manager Liam Watson felt that knowing Haig Avenue better than the opposition and how the wind can play a big part in any game there was the difference between the two sides.
"We've got good footballers and good footballers doesn't always mean you pass to feet," said Watson.
"Good footballers mean you put the ball into areas where you can ask questions and we did that better than they did against the wind.
"My experience of actually knowing what Haig Avenue is on a day like this, you go with the wind because that's what you tend to do but I fancied going the way we did in the second half anyway.
"Hereford's best opportunity to score came about ten minutes in in the first half after that I don't think our keeper had a save.
"They are a good team, A really good team. They will be right up there as well. They're organised and they've got some good players.
"They probably had the idea that we were just going to be a team of long throws.
"I really fancied Marcus and Jordan to put pressure on their centre-halves and that was the difference, they run them into the ground and we got the joys."
