Hereford manager Josh Gowling spoke to Ben Goddard of the Hereford Times after last night's Trophy win at Stamford.
"It was a bit of a weird game obviously with two players sent off,” said Gowling.
"Normally when you go down to nine men away from home it makes a big impact on the game. But it probably did in a positive way for us.
"We worked hard, we hustled and bustled and got the second goal with nine men. Credit to the lads they worked hard, they were disciplined, they were organised.
"We started the game well going a goal up and that’s something we spoke about and we started really well today.
"The defensive display was excellent, Jamie (Grimes) was an absolute man mountain in the middle. The lads were excellent and I’m proud of all of them."
With Lenell John Lewis missing Tom Owen-Evans led the attack and scored both of Hereford's goals.
"He gave them problems all day. His first goal was excellent."
Two Hereford players were sent off and Gowling wasn't too happy with a straight red card shown to Ben Pollock.
"I've had a look back at it. I don't think it was, I thought he would give him a yellow at first then the lads have got round him and he gave him a red card.
"It looks like Ben has pulled out so we might appeal. It doesn't look like he made any contact at all."
Luke Haines was also sent off after receiving a second yellow card.
Gowling gave a debut to Callum Rowe who has joined the Bulls on loan from Aston Villa.
"He didn't let a cross come in.
"We're pleased to have got him in, it will be good for his development."
