Took advantage of Wolves playing yesterday to go and watch Hereford take on AFC Telford today.
Connor Johnson looked good, spent the whole day dealing with an absolute unit upfront but seemed to win the vast majority of aerial battles, seemed half decent on the ball too, definitely their best defender today - was quite impressed.
Was unsure about Aaron Simpson, certainly got forward alot with quite a bit of pace too. In terms of defending though, he was very lucky to get away without being booked, committed many fouls (many of which just looked like poor or late tackles), I counted about 6/7 fouls, Hereford fans certainly took a disliking to him for it. When he actually received the ball in the good positions that he worked himself into, not much really happened, no crosses, often just passed the ball back where it came from.
Overall though, very fun day out! Though the standard was pretty bad. Was pretty disappointed with Telford too, they seemed well drilled defensively, but didn't seem to have any ideas or trained methods for going forward. I'm not sure if it was particulalry reminiscent of the few games Edwards had here, but it was just very pedestrian going forward. I say any team who fails to take advantage of everyone's favourite Ryan Green playing at CB has not done a good job!
Fair play to Hereford though, they won 1-0 and really looked comfortable throughout the 90.
