Beesley Reacts To Defeat At Hereford


Warrington FC manager Mark Beesley has spoken about the game at Hereford last night.

Warrington went down to nine men and although Hereford won 2-1.

“With nine men, it’s a difficult task as Hereford are a good team,” he said.

“They’ve got a lovely pitch and they play some good stuff. For us to come here and get to 78 minutes still at 1-1 with nine men is a testament to our lads, and I must credit them.

“For the effort they’ve put in and the team spirit they showed, it was a really big performance.

“That’s two in a row now at really tough, established clubs that we’ve got no points for, but we have to take heart from the performances.

“We knew this year that we wouldn’t win as many games, but we have to take positives and there are loads from tonight.

“Obviously, Connor has been stupid. We can’t condone that and he’s let us down.

“Bohan’s two yellows are the softest I’ve ever seen in my life. The first one arguably isn’t even a foul, but the referee was card-happy against us all game.

“Josh Amis has gone clean through and is about to shoot but is brought down for a penalty, but he says it’s careless? If he’s booking Bohan, he’s got to book him [the Hereford defender].

“He’s running around chasing our goalkeeper to get the ball, but I can’t fault our players’ effort.

“With nine men for 60-odd minutes, it was an unbelievable performance. We limited them mainly to shots from outside the box, but we then make a little mistake which has cost us the winner.”
