More from Hereford manager Paul Caddis, picture from Andy Walkden, following last night's 1-0 win at South Shields.
"They are a good team, they really are," said Caddis.
"You can see they are full time, some teams you play against you don't recognise they are full time.
"But you could see they are well coached, they pass the ball through you.
"We had to be really patient but I thought we were, I thought we were excellent to a man."
Given the distance it was a long day for his players.
"I had to think more about this game than some recently because we've part time lads who have been working.
"What is the most tactical way in saving energy and it was staying in our shape and being patient.
"It caused us a few problems first ten/fifteen minutes, it took us a bit of time to get used to their shape.
"We knew they were going to dominate the ball, we're okay with that."
