HT: 1 - 1

The start of the second half saw a change for Hereford with Matt Bailey, a loanee from Crewe, who just didn't look any good.    He was replaced by Andy Williams.

This period of the game saw a much more threatening Harriers but it was Hereford that were to get the first shot on goal when Mkandawire sent in another header that went just over Danny Lewis' bar.    Craig Stanley then had a shot on goal from well outside the area but last seen it was circling the moon.

We started to gain the upper hand in midfield and could have scored a hat full of goals but again it was our finishing that was letting us down.    This inability to shoot on sight is costing us dear and we're just crying out for a striker that can do the simple things and not try to walk the ball into the net.

Tai was probably guiltier than most of doing that although there was one occasion when he did well to bring the ball from the corner all the way to the goal post and then find no one available to pass the ball to.    He tried to finish himself but with three Hereford defenders in his way he didn't succeed.

The man he could have passed to, Sheldon, was struggling with a thigh injury and was replaced soon after by an up for it Lee Thompson.

Simon Russell had a chance to score what would have been a goal to equal Pitmans mid way through the half.    He had the ball on the edge of the area with his back to goal.    A quick turn and a shot was unleashed that took the Hereford keeper by surprise and he just about managed to tip it over the bar.

He had to perform an exact same miracle just minutes later when Wayne Hatswell sent in a superb cross that landed perfectly for Taiwo Atieno.    The tall , athletic striker connected with a bullet like header that again saw Brown performing heroics to keep his side in the game.

Minutes from the end Hereford could have snatched all three points when Williams got hold of the ball in the area but, just as he was about to shoot, Danny Lewis got down to smother the ball and keep the score and points level.

The final result was a fair one and both sides can be pleased with their own performances and their fans.    They gave us something to cheer for once and with Exeter arriving here next and Christie back has the season turned it's corner at last.
