Managers Reaction after Today's Game

Firstly Graham Turner for Hereford:

"I thought we had a very good first half. I thought we should have gone in more than the one goal in the lead," Turner told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"We paid heavily for a real sloppy start in the second half.

"In the end we settled in for a point because they were on top and might have scored but I thought the first half was extremely encouraging given all our problems.

"I think Dean has just apologised to the rest of the lads (about the own goal. It was one which he headed into the back of his own net. He tried to get it over the bar. But we should have got it away."

Turner also mentioned keeper Craig Samson.

"His handling was very good. His kicking wasn't bad. One or two difficult ones. He can be satified with the way he has performed.

I think it was difficult to come in after the goalkeepers we have lost. He's been second choice to Matt Murray and Chris Weale and he must have been quite aggreived about that but I think he's done very well"

Secondly Danny Wilson for Hartlepool:

"I thought we created enough chances to win the game and if we had been a bit more clinical with them, we would have," Wilson told his Official Website.

"However, we can't be too disappointed with it because there were quite a few players out there suffering with the effects of the bug we've had here - I thought their efforts were fantastic."
