Lack of Belief says Turner

Rather belatedly here are a few paragraphs from Graham Turner's post match press conference after yesterday's defeat by Northampton Town

"The first goal is vital. I didn't think there was a lot in the game for about an hour but unfortunately it was us that conceded first," said the Hereford United manager.

"Unlike last week when we scored we stacked up a notch and did ever so well when we went a goal up.

"But this time we went down a notch and make life difficult for ourselves.

"The way we are and with confidence as it is as soon as that goal goes in there is little lack of belief in ourselves."

Turner also spoke about the officials.

"Having been a long time in football, I have never seen a linesman flag for offside from a throw-in," said Turner.

"I have now seen it twice in five days from a position where we were going to cross the ball into the box and we have been pulled up.

"Today at least the official had the bottle to instruct a bounce-up not like the one at Dagenham who gave a free kick.

"Little things like that are going against us but it was an unacceptable decision to give offside from a throw-in again but we have to get over it.
