Hereford earned a point from a long trip to Darlington and Hereford boss Paul Caddis feels his side have stopped the rot after a poor start to the season.
Jack Maskell's goal from a corner broke the deadlock 10 minutes from the break, before a superb Sam Osbourne striker in the 83rd minute ensured the Bulls didn't leave the North East empty handed.
But starting and ending the game brightly, there was a "dead rubber" spell in between which Caddis felt had a flat, pre-season feel to it.
"We've not had a lot of success up here, since I've been here so got to respect the point," he added.
"Huge character again. I know I was disappointed on Tuesday night with going 2-0 down, but the character's there, it's so evident to see that's something we haven't quite lost.
"To come in at one-nil down at half-time, I was pretty disappointed to be honest. A set piece. I thought we started the game really well, passed the ball well. In the first eight minutes we had about seven or eight crosses into the box, it's what we were after.
"Especially you got Rem [Campbell] and and Monts [Gibson] up there, get balls in the box, pass the ball - which we did. We got up the pitch really well, we passed it really well but we got sucker punched by a set set piece.
"It was a sucker punch. it wasn't good enough from us. It's something we have to get better at."
With Hereford losing four of their opening five games of the Enterprise National League North season, with a 2-1 win at Buxton the only glimmer of hope, they have since bagged five points with a win over Alfreton and draws against Bedford Town and Darlington.
Having vowed changes after the poor start, Chris Wreh and Kai Williams left Edgar Street with West Brom defender Michael Parker and Matlock Town striker Montel Gibson arriving on loan.
Towards the end of the interview with BBC Hereford and Worcester's sports editor Trevor Owens, Caddis said: "If you look at the last three games, we've won one and drawn two. So we've stopped that rot a little bit in the last three games, we're unbeaten."
