I Think I Owed It To The Boys Said Haines

Luke Haines's Shot Rises As It Goes Towards The Back Of The Chester Net

Luke Haines's goal won the game at Chester last night. Given he scored an own goal at Scarborough last Saturday, this goal couldn't have come at a better time. Afterwards the Hereford defender spoke to the media.

"I think I owed it to the boys to be honest," said Haines.

"After putting one in the other net the other day but I would like to think that's gone now.

"I patched over it tonight."

Haines was given a yellow card within a minute of the start for a need-less trip on a Chester player.

"I had to be steady for the rest of the game.

"I took an early booking which I think made me concentrate more to be honest, switched me on more because I knew I couldn't risk anything really." 

Haines is being used as a central defender this season.

"I'm still getting used to it with Zac next to me.

"I've played there before but when you go back into the midfield for a year and then come back in again you do feel slightly disorientated sometimes.

"I'm still getting used to it and it will come and a clean sheet tonight, confidence booster.

"I like to try and play as much as I can on the ball, to be honest I don't think I've been too great on the ball last two games but I think that's just finding my legs again after a bit of a break but it will come."
