Hereford Scored With Two Strikers On The Pitch Said Preece

Cawley Cox Scored Both Hereford's Goals

Chorley manager Andy Preece felt his side deserved something out of yesterday's game against Hereford.

Chorley took the lead but two goals from Hereford's sub striker Cawley Cox gave the visitors the win. 

"It's the toughest one to take so far this season." said Preece in his post match interview.

"The way we played I thought we were excellent through out the game. We defended really well, we won the majority of the battles, we were very good going forward.

"We created opportunities, their keeper has made a couple of great saves, but we created a great goal.

"We lost because we made two small errors and got punished for it.

"The first one, we made an error, let the ball bounce so they managed to get hold of the ball around the edge of the box.

"The lad's (Cox) had a shot, it's got a massive deflection, I think it was their first shot on target in the game and it's deflected in.

"Then we had a right go again to get a goal.

"But again we make an error in mid-field and we let the ball drop and no one is around.

"And they are good when they pick the ball up between your mid-field and your defence.

"Normally they play with two strikers, they didn't start the game with two but when they scored they had two strikers on the pitch. 

"One has got it, turned it over the top for the other one. He's gone through and a really good finish.

"And then we had one and it hits the bar, so one of those days. We didn't deserve to come off there with no points. 

"Credit to Hereford, they stuck in the game and competed really well, never gave up.

"Credit to them they've kept going.

"Sometimes you've got to find a win when you're not the best team and credit to them they did today."
