Caddis has praised Andy Williams for his role in the 2-0 win over Alfreton - and the club as a whole
Hereford manager Paul Caddis has said he's had a tough and frustrating week as he worked to turn around his side's fortunes.
After a poor start to the season where the Bulls picked up just three points from winning one of their opening five games, Caddis said he had to remain calm and keep the players focused.
On Saturday, a 2-0 win over 10-man Alfreton boosted the side as three points helped lift them out the bottom four.
A goal in either half for Andy Williams - the first a sublime, curled effort and the second bundled in with his backside - helped Hereford to the three points.
"Willo's someone I've had full trust in," Caddis admitted.
"He obviously didn't get as many minutes as he liked last season, but he's someone that it's more about what you bring to the club as a whole.
"His performances on the pitch have been really good. He got his two goals today. I think only Willo is the only type of player on the pitch that would be able to score that first goal, the chop and then the caress finish.
"Just his demeanour about the place, his mannerisms, his standards, he still drives a group.
"For me, he's almost an extension of what I'm looking for and having someone like that is absolutely brilliant. The players love him. Willo's one of these lads - he's older than me - he's one of these guys that will want to play every minute of every game, but he's understanding that that's not going to be possible.
"But when he does, he applies himself. Unbelievable."
Hereford were confident in possession, played the ball out from the back and were patient in building attacks.
More upbeat than in recent interviews, Caddis said: "I know we're all screaming to get people closer to our strikers, which by the way, it's not as if we're going to the dressing room telling them to stay away from our strikers.
"At times we're going too direct from goal kicks. I don't mind us going into strikers from goal kicks but it needs to be from a spread shape because the pitch is bigger. You get better quality into your striker, you can get your tens on it.
"I thought a lot of the play was really, really good."
Summing up, Caddis said his side played well and it was important they got the result - but also had a performance to match.
"Coming off the back of two really poor results at home, you probably couldn't pick a more difficult opponent to play against," Caddis added, with Alfreton's time-wasting, physical approach frustrating teams.
"Billy [Heath, Alfreton manager] and the staff do a brilliant job there and they're very difficult to play against, as we've seen today."
