We Lost The Battle In The Middle Of The Park Said Gowling

After this afternoon's game at Banbury, Josh Gowling spoke to the media.

"You look at their first and third goals, we were on top and we conced two goals which is frustrating," said the Hereford manager.

"We started the game well, got caught out early doors. We switch off and then they go and score and they score again after that.

"We lost the battle in the middle of the park today.

"When we pressed we kind of pressed and didn't stop so they went around us quite easily in midfield and then they looked to pass forward.

"They didn't create too many problems, they play good football, they are a good side which is why they are undefeated.

"If you conced three goals the way we did then you've got a mountain to climb."

Banbury were 2-0 ahead until Ryan Mclean pulled one back just before halftime.

"You thought come out second half and get an early goal and crack on.

"But long ball not dealt with and they score the third which killed the game.

"They sat in and slowed the game down.

"We brought Aaron on and went a bit more direct.

"We had some good opportunities second half but it gambling. So it goes up to Ty, up to Aaron, can we gamble in the box to get a finish off them.

"We probably had two really good opportunities but we scuffed them and it's been easy for the keeper."
