Following his return from a loan spell at Hednesford, Mark Derricott played all 90 minutes for Hereford in the HFA County Cup tie at Pegasus last night.
"He played full back for the majority of the game then went centre half when Yan went off towards the end," said Gowling.
"To be fair their wide left player was decent and he gave Mark some trouble but not many people get past Mark.
"It was good for him to play at full back.
"I just think the physicality of our league sometimes as centre back against big strong strikers - he's still learning the game and still improving.
"So I think full back probably suits him a little bit more. But he did well."
Derricott put some good crosses in.
"Especially first half, he floated one back post for Ty and Ty has probably tried to nod it down rather than just going to score.
"His delivery was excellent."
