O'Kelly disappointed by result

After today's 2-1 defeat at Scarborough, Hereford United coach Richard O'Kelly was disheartened by the outcome of the match but confident that the Bulls will bounce back.

"With everything that had gone on this week, with travelling up on the Friday and making sure we do things right, we were just looking to repay the good faith that was shown to us by the supporters and come home with something," he told BBC Hereford & Worcester. "In the first twenty minutes, we were comfortable and we looked in control of the game. From their first attack on goal, they scored and a few of the lads were looking for an offside decision but it didn't happen. We got a deserved equaliser from Paul Parry but I don't think we started the second half."

The winning Scarborough goal was created by a combination of Gary Cohen and Cleveland Taylor, and had a hint of offside to it which was not given. O'Kelly continued: "They were in acres of space and you're thinking, surely they must be offside and the general concensus here is that the linesman got it wrong on a few occasions."

John Grant still has two matches left to run on his current suspension, leaving Steve Guinan as the only recognised attacker in the United squad. Graham Turner has been looking at players, said O'Kelly. "We definitely need to bring someone it but it's got to be the right person," he commented. "I know Graham is doing his best to bring a new face in and if that happens it might give the squad a boost."
