Pitman demands Hereford response

23 April 2011 17:00
Hereford boss Jamie Pitman issued a rallying cry after his relegation-threatened side slumped to a 2-0 home defeat against Shrewsbury. Former Bulls boss Graham Turner enjoyed a winning return to Edgar Street with goals from James Collins and Tom Bradshaw keeping them on course for promotion. Defeat leaves Hereford still in a relegation battle and Pitman was left to rue some poor defending. "Their two goals were poor from our point of view but it was a tighter game than the scoreline reflects," said Pitman. "But we have to give Shrewsbury some credit, they have come here and set about us but they did show us some respect. They're third in the league and don't concede goals and are a force to be reckoned with, while we're fifth or sixth from bottom." He added: "We've been under pressure all season and we go into the last three games under pressure again. What we have to do now is regroup after a hard game and go and work hard at Morecambe on Monday."
