Action not Words required
The 391 Hereford supporters who made the trip to Burton today would have been very disappointed with the Bulls performance at Eton Park. More than 50 left the ground early, not a good sign.
Hereford United have now just gained three points from their last four games and unless the form changes quickly for the better they will miss out on a play-off place.
Burton looked to want to win the game, whereas the Bulls looked tired, stale and short of ideas. Too many balls were played backwards only to be lost when eventually kicked ahead. There seems no end in sight to this tactic. Even when Lee Mills came on after halftime he failed to win that many through balls.
Both manager Graham Turner and captain Tony James have spoke about new faces at the club but there were no new bodies in the squad today.
Performances like this will cost the club money as supporters decide to give on the Bulls until such time as they return to winning ways. Maybe it's a good thing that next Saturday's game is a Trophy Cup match at Accrington. An opportunity perhaps to try out some changes both in tactics and players.
