That Was Awful Said Gowling

Hereford manager Josh Gowling spoke to the local media after this afternoon's 1-0 defeat at Bradford Park Avenue.

"It was just a poor game of football all round," said Gowling.

"I don't think we strung three passes together.

"I just feel when we got in areas to deliver, our deliveries were not good enough, set plays were not good enough, I don't think we moved enough just generally the whole team to link things up from back to front.

"I think when we won balls we just turned over straight away and I think it's back down to earth for us.

"I think we've gone six games unbeaten, been pretty decent, and now we've come here where you would expect us to kick on and we haven't.

"We've got to go back and re-set our attitudes and go again for Tuesday.

"We were wasteful, going in good areas but not delivering the ball, or we're not getting enough runners in the box, or gambling enough.

"A very frustrating afternoon because that was awful.

"Just a poor all round performance, I like to think we haven't had too many of them. But credit to them they defeated Curzon Ashton last Saturday, beat them 2-1 so they've got a way of playing here. They slow things down, they get back behind the ball.

"We're bitterely disappointed.

"Consistancy is what everybody strives for at this level and we've just had a blip so now we've got to get back on the horse and then go again. 

"We'll be in training on Monday. Obviously we've got AFC Fylde on Tuesday night so I'll expect a better performance from everyone and we'll make sure we bounce back.

"Look we've got a good bunch of lads here, it's an off day today, it's not acceptable, you don't want to lose to the bottom of the league.

"Lately when we've played teams down there we've been ruthless and we were not today.

"They are disappointed in there, they were disappointed at half time. We've come out but we have not shown much in the second half to be honest.

"But I know with those boys they will want to be better and we'll looking to get to Edgar Street on Tuesday and put that right."
