Manager's Comments from Selhurst Park

The two managers gave their comments to the press after last night's Carling Cup game at Selhurst Park.

Neil Warnock for Crystal Palace:

"I was disappointed with the way we played in the first half.

"I had to go off at the players at half-time and I'm too old to be doing that in a Carling Cup match! But I was annoyed with some of the lads because they turned up and were too sloppy.

"At this stage of the competition, it's just about getting through. Lots of good sides have gone out tonight so it was all about the result.

"I haven't got a great record in the Carling Cup apart from the year I got to the semi-finals with Sheffield United [in 2003]. But it would be nice to win it this year so I will keep picking strong teams and see where we go."

Graham Turner for Hereford United:

"It was a bad moment when we conceded just before half-time - the goalkeeper should have stopped that shot.

"That changed the mood for us entirely at half-time and gave them a boost. It was a shame because we did everything right for 44 minutes and then it fell apart for us. Palace knocked the ball around after the break, as good players will do, but it was in our own hands.

"We don't have a hard luck story. It's now down to the players to show that they have the bottle to bounce back against Yeovil in the league on Saturday."
