Pitman's sights are firmly focused
Jamie Pitman is unlikely to forget the day Hereford United dropped out of the Football League as he was a member of the squad that lost to Brighton. It was he said one of the worst days of his life. But, as he has told the Hereford Times, he is firmly focused on winning that top spot back.
"It would be really nice to be part of the side which goes back to the league, because for the players who were here at the time it was hard to take. You don't get many chances to acheive something in football so we really want to do that this time."
The 28 year-old midfielder says that the side is much younger now and more athletic. He also is full of praise for the management team at Edgar Street.
"We know that the club hasn't got a great of money but everything we can do that is professional we try to do to the best of our ability. We play free-flowing football, Richard O'Kelly encourages us to play football and so does Graham Turner."
Pitman is still a part-time player as he is studying to obtain a degree in Chartered Physiotherapy at Salford University.
"I'm enjoying my studies but I also love my football and I'm fortunate that I'm able to do both," he said.
The studies will have to wait for the next three weeks with the play-offs taking presidence.
"In the play-offs last time I was young and didn't feel the pressure that much. Now, being a little bit older and wiser, I tend to think about it a little bit more and see what's at stake."
