Hereford boss Jamie Pitman praised his players after victory over Morecambe secured a fifth successive win and propelled the club out of the relegation zone for the first time since early November. The Bulls struck through Joe Colbeck and Michael Townsend to move clear of the bottom two and up into 21st place - their highest position since early September. Speaking after the match, Pitman said: "Defensively we kept our shape very well and were very hard to break. Going forward we were very bright on the break and we consolidated well. "In the first half we had two or three breakaway raids which possibly we could have scored from - their goalkeeper (Barry Roche) also made a couple of good saves to deny us. "I don't know what the stats are but I would like to think we have had a fair few shots maybe from long distance. "The players have worked very hard as a team since the start of the year."
