Next Game: Boston At Edgar Street On Saturday April 20th Kick-Off 3.00pm

Today's Stats do not tell the full story

Last week at Bristol Hereford United had 52% of possession and lost 6-1. This week at Edgar Street the Bulls defeat Crewe 2-0 and are deemed to have only 49% possession.

However possession is only part of the today's story.

Hereford had seven shots on target, Crewe had ten.

Hereford had eight shots off target, Crewe had seven.

Hereford won seven corners against four for Crewe.

The neutral reading the stats might think it was a very close game. In truth it wasn't - Hereford fully deserved their win.

New signing Stephen O'Leary was the sponsor's man of the match. He received an eight for his hard work.

Darren Randolph, Richard Rose, Dean Beckwith, Ben Smith, Matt Done, Steve Guinan and Bradley Hudson-Odoi all received a seven.

The win lifts the Bulls up the table:

18 Northampton 4 -2 4
19 Southend 4 -4 4
20 Peterborough 4 0 3
21 Crewe 4 -4 3
22 Hereford 4 -5 3
23 Cheltenham 4 -8 3
24 Huddersfield 4 -3 2

One, perhaps the only, disappointment - the gate was only 2894. And 428 of them supported Crewe.

However the support for the Bulls was solid throughout the game.
