Hanson Dropped For Today's Game

Hereford midfielder Jethro Hanson was dropped to the bench for this afternoon's game against Banbury. He's been playing at the back of a diamond recently.

Afterwards manager Josh Gowling explained the thinking behind the decision.

"I just felt in transition where we could hurt Banbury we just thought Lloyd is a bit more direct with his passing.

"And Jethro has played a lot of football lately. He didn't play many games last year.

"We just felt if we could pull him out for a game or two it would get his legs going again."

Was he missed in the second half defensively?

"It's difficult, we were going to bring him on just before they scored.

"Then they scored and we thought we can't do that now so we brought Jack (Holmes) on because we wanted to win the game. That's why we made that change.

"Ideally you bring him on when you are comfortable in the game and he'll dictate play or break things up and keep things moving.

"But when they scored and we went down like we did you have to make an attacking change."
