Harvey Smith led Hereford out as captain for the first time against Stockport County on Saturday, and not only led from the front but scored the Bulls goal from a set piece.

"It was a tough place to come, Stockport away. I think they had more than 3,000 here.  

"They had long spells of possession, we had to defend, we had to dig in but, to be fair, the lads stuck at it and we're pleased with a point."  

Smith captained the side, which is unusual given he is a loan player.  

"It was a proud moment for me and I'm pleased that the gaffer has trusted me for that.  

"At the back you always need to be communicating, lots of talking, making sure we are covered in all areas, we're not leaving ourselves exposed.  

"We were under some pressure at times and maybe had to go a little old-school maybe towards the end a little bit just to clear our lines.  

"Mark Richards wants us to get the ball down and play when we can.  

"We would like to control games a little bit more but you come to a place like this and it's difficult to dominate them for possession."
