Radcliffe boss fumes at ‘unacceptable’ display – and demands response against Hereford

The sides coming out at Radcliffe when Hereford travelled there in January

Hereford boss Paul Caddis wants a reaction and his side desperately needs to bounce back with a win at Radcliffe tomorrow - but so do the hosts.

Two goals from Leamington's 21-year-old midfielder Ewan Williams were enough to see off 10-man Radcliffe, who are still searching for their first points on the road, as joint manager Bernard Morley slammed the side's performance as unacceptable.

Having said they got what they deserved out of the game, nothing, he thought the players were too embarrassed to go over the applaud the travelling supporters who made the trip to Warwickshire.

Looking ahead to tomorrow's game against Hereford, a side also in need of a reaction and a win after a 4-1 defeat against Chorley, he said: "It's that easy for me to stand here and say it's a must-win game. We want to win every game of football."

Morley, who with Anthony Johnson has racked up more than 650 games in management at clubs including Salford and Chester, added: "We will take our medicine today. I've alluded to it three or four times, we're below par. We have to find we have to find a way to win Monday against a side that probably find themselves below us in the table, haven't had the start that they want.

"Big football club, Hereford. I believe they've lost today heavily. So, it's going to be a game of both sides need to win. Both sides need points on the table.

"I don't stand there and panic in any way, shape, or form, I just think that when you're poor, I don't expect to win. But with this side, when you're good, and we've been good in the first three games, I expect more and the imbalance doesn't make sense to me at the minute."

When asked if he expects a reaction Monday, Morley bluntly said: "Has to be a reaction."

He finished the interview with the club's YouTube channel saying: "It's now our jobs to dust them down, get them prepared as best as we can for a game against Hereford at home on Monday."
