Out-battled admits James
Tony James, the Hereford United captain, told BBC Hereford and Worcester that his side had no excuses for yesterday's 4-0 defeat at Exeter.
"Out-worked, out-battled, out-played," said James. "It was just one of those days when everything has gone wrong.
"We just looked a shadow of ourselves over the past six weeks. It was a totally different side."
Speaking about Exeter's third goal James continued: "Tamika lost the ball in the sun. It happens. Straight from the second-half start we were not at the races.
"We've not wanted the ball hardly anywhere on the pitch. We really made it difficult for ourselves."
It must have been a difficult interview for James, but to his credit he didn't try to make excuses.
Meanwhile Alex Inglethrope, the Exeter manager, told the Express and Echo how pleased he was with the result.
"I thought we played extremely well against a very good team," he said.
"Hereford were in the top three at the start of the day, but we were worthy winners. To challenge in this league your home form is always going to be important.
"We have managed to give the supporters something to cheer about and the league is incredibly tight at the moment."
