Hereford lost 1-0 at Boston yesterday and afterwards manager Paul Caddis said he thought it was a fair result.
"I'm not going to sugar coat it," said Caddis.
"From what I saw with my own eyes I thought it was a fair result.
"I thought they were better than us.
"Last five minutes we had a couple of chances, Cowley had a header, Nathan one at the back post.
"But we just weren't on it today, that's me being brutally honest.
"Why that was I don't know but fair result."
Caddis was asked by Keith Hall why Freemantle hadn't started.
"We knew that they tried to play everything central which they did so we're tried to smuggle the middle of the pitch with Babos.
"I just thought in the first half against Brackley with the two up top we were a bit over-run at times in the middle of the pitch. That was the reason why.
"Ethan and Cowls, we have to try and manage Cowls, we can't flog him with the amount of minutes we gave him. Ethan done well when he came on but he understands."
Boston took the lead in the first half with a 20 or so yard strike from Knowles.
"Good goal, I think Pond got wrong footed, he's tried to go one way.
"Can't complain, the boy struck it from 25 yards out.
"The only positive for us at half time was that it was 1-0 and I said that to the players.
"I'm finding it really tough to come here and criticise because the last six or seven weeks the players efforts have been outstanding.
"It's never a lack of effort with this group. It wasn't today.
"We had a go the last five, ten, fifteen minutes. Just one of those days. Sometimes in football you lose.
"I'll go home and try to pick the bones out of it tonight, six or seven hours tomorrow and then look at Banbury."
