O'Kelly pleased with performance
Richard O'Kelly, the Hereford United coach and occasional possible substitute was pleased with this afternoon's performance against Gravesend.
Speaking to BBC Hereford & Worcester he said: "It was a good result. We played Gravesend away earlier in the season and they are the only side that has battered us.So it was very important that we got back onto winning ways today.
"Over the last two months or so we have changed the system slighty and we have created an awful lot of chances and now we have started taking them. We always felt we were going to score a goal."
Gravesend don't play well in the second half according to statistics, "so we thought if we went out there and went for the throat or the jugular we would get our rewards," continued O'Kelly.
"Paul Parry had a couple of chances in the first half but in the second half he brought the ball to the edge of the box and finished rather well.Then he chased a back pass down, got tremendous pace, and nipped it past the keeper and put it in an empty net."
Talking about other players, O'Kelly said: "Rob Sawyers, whose chances have been limited, the longer the game went on the better he got today and he got a well deserved goal after some great work from Ben Smith. And Rob Purdie produced the form that hasn't always come out for him but he looked very confident today causing them all sorts of problems.
"We have only got a small squad of players and what the managers concentrated on is quality and he feels that every player we have got in the squad is of the ability to go straight into the team. With a player like Ian Wright sat on the bench, you know you have got good quality out there. And there is always me to come on as well!
"Every game from now on is going to be a massive game for us and we have to go to Morecambe next."
Rob Sawyers told the media: "It's nice to get my first goal for the club, especially at home. We sensed they were tiring at the end of the first half and we thought we would wear them down eventually."
