Hereford win by fair means
Hereford United defeated Aldershot 2-0 at Edgar Street tonight.
Jamie Pitman (pictured) had to leave the pitch half-way through the first half after Aaron McLean appeared to crash onto him. Pitman looked as though he had hurt his back and was in some distress. Perhaps surprisingly the referee took no action against the Aldershot player but the incident didn't go down well with the Hereford fans who had been calling McLean a cheat from the kick-off.
After the game Tony James told BBC Hereford and Worcester that it was a very good performance by the Bulls.
"I thought we had a great quarter of an hour spell at the start which set us up for the rest of the game.
"The early goal (scored by Danny Williams) helped. A great confidence booster.
David Brown, who otherwise had a good game,later missed a sitter from three or so yards.
"It was a good chance. A good ball in but it is a bit bobbly there. He put it over the bar which was a bit of a shame. But we went in at half-time 1-0 up and were quite pleased with that," said James.
"Aldershot had a lot of the ball (after the break). I think we sat off a bit, kept our shape and tried to make it as difficult as possible for them to get in behind us. And we always looked dangerous on the break."
Describing the secong goal James continued:"It was a good header. Could have done with it a bit earlier in the game as we were under a bit of pressure. Cracking header from Lee Mills.
"The win was just what we needed."
