Frustrating to be on Bench



Adam Stansfield, pictured above, has told the Evening News that it is frustrating to be on the bench for Hereford United.

As reported by Bulls News earlier this week Stansfield was voted Nationwide Conference player of the month for September. He admits he was surprised to be chosen.

"I was surprised even to be shortlisted, let alone winning the award. I did not play that many games in the month.

"I scored three goals and probably won the award because of the two I got at Leigh after coming off the bench. They were important goals because at the time we were struggling for a result."

Obviously disappointed not to starting every game Stansfield still says he is enjoying life at Edgar Street.

"It's always frustrating to be on the bench, but it's a team game and the manager has to pick the two strikers that he thinks will do the job.

"I have to respect that and make sure that I do as well as I can when I get the chance. David Brown and Lee Mills have got so much experience, that it's always going to be difficult to work your way in.

"I always look to score 20 to 25 goals a season and there is still a chance I can get that many this season."

Meanwhile Hereford United are playing Luton in an under 18 game this morning.
