Graham Turner was no doubt very pleased with this afternoons win at Colchester after what must have been a difficult week for the club. But in his post-match interview with Keith Hall for BBC Hereford and Worcester he thought that at times the team still looked short of confidence.
"We should have kept the ball better second half and relieved a little bit of pressure. We knew that at 2-0 up they were going to throw everything at us.
"They've got some big lads in their team and we had to withstand a bit of pressure. But I just feel we should have done better when we got the ball or on the breaks.
"We did have a couple of very good opportunities to have made it 3-0 or 3-1 and that would have killed it off totally.
"It's done us the world of good to come to a place like this against a decent side to come out with three points. It's got to have given the players a lot of confidence."
Talking about wingers Lionel Ainsworth and Matty Done, Turner said that they both had pace and ability and can get better.
"The message to them is if they are one on one with the full-backs they have got to take them on. I think once or twice they didn't do what I was looking for. But generally they worked very hard and were absolutely shattered in the last twenty minutes or so. They've worked hard and contributed a lot.
"Obviously Lionel has got his goal, but Matt Done as well. It does give us an extra dimension.
"We're not the biggest and strongest side and we've come up against some very powerful lads when we've had to defend in our penalty area and I think we've coped generally quite well."
Talking about chances created Turner continued:
"Well we got the ball in the box and one fell nicely for Steve Guinan and one fell nicely for Lionel but we missed one or two opportunities, probably easier opportunities than we scored from.
"The whole exercise has been very encouraging. I think we've been playing reasonably well without getting the results but I would have liked to have seen us control it a little bit more as the second half wore on."
The joy on the players faces was there for all to see after the final whistle.
"When you go as long as we've done away from home without getting a win, I think the players have felt such a relief with it - they've obviously felt under pressure and the relief is there for all to see."
