The Hereford FC Head Coach Marc Richards praised a battling performance from the new-look Bulls' side that fought out a 1-1 draw with Stockport County on Saturday.

Richards thought the two Derby County loanees, goalkeeper Matt Yates and centre-back Ethan Wassell were both outstanding. 

"Very, very delighted with the performance," said Richards.  

"The boys have taken on board what we've tried to put in place over the last ten days. Obviously gutted not to come away with three points, but we were defending for long spells of the game and unfortunately I've just watched in back then and it was probably a hand ball.  

"We'll take that though, a point away at Stockport County."  

"It's baby steps, it's trying to come in and try and concentrate on what we can fix  immediately, and what we need to look at it terms of how we're going to improve," he added.  

"There will be changes as we go along in terms of how we do things both in and out of possession, but in the short space of time that we've had with them they've really taken on board some of the information which is the most pleasing thing.
