Hereford United manager John Trewick has vowed to continue to do his best for the League 2 club.
Lowly United suffered their third loss in a week yesterday (Saturday) and had two players sent off in a 5-0 mauling at Notts County.
“What I want is the best for Hereford and I am doing my best for Hereford and I will continue to do my best for Hereford,” said Trewick.
“It was never going to be an easy season. Cheltenham came down last year and they are below us in the table. Sides who have come down tend to have to regroup and refocus and go again. We have no automatic right to be at the top of the league and we have to battle and scrap for everything we get. Obviously, I am disappointed with our league position and I want to try to improve it and that’s what I am going to continue to do.”
Trewick also explained his decision to drop captain Adam Bartlett and hand Chris Adamson his Hereford debut.
Bartlett made a late substitute appearance after goalkeeper Adamson was red-carded for bringing down Luke Rodgers.
Trewick said: “I think Adam Bartlett has done well for us for the vast majority of the season. I do feel he’s been in the firing line all season with no respite and my reason for leaving him out was to try and freshen his mind and, hopefully, get Adam to refocus on the job in hand.”
Trewick added: “Chris is a good goalkeeper and has played at a high level and has got more experience than Adam. I think he wasn’t really doing anything wrong until he got sent off when he conceded the penalty. He has also got six or seven stitches in his eye after a clash with Rodgers so it hasn’t been a good day for him or a good day for us.”
