2-1 final score
didnt sound god but cant really tell from a no doubt biased home commentary, no stats, our keeper got a few mentions, from flaps to good saves, hopefully we'll get a few better reviews from those who went
at least we won

Glad to get one over them again. Sounded like their fans were a bit to happy when they went 1 up. Remember them being obsessed with us in our conference, league two days.

1-2 FT. Great late comeback. I’d hardly call it great, in fact anything but

Judging from the teams so far, I wouldn't be surprised if we aren't going to be seeing a great deal of Pyke or Daniels this season

Yes two are away on international duty but that shouldnt disguise the fact that we are woefully short of numbers right now. Two players down and we have to name two keepers on the subs bench (out of five). That smacks of a club in financial trouble (rather than us who I'm quite sure arent).

Was a poor game where Hereford could have easily been three up before the late, late show from Udoh and Whalley, not that it particularly matters although I’ll have a easier time at work in the morning now thanks to that result! Was enjoyable just to be back amongst the contingent again, still plenty of work to do ahead of August 7th but I have every faith in the gaffer, great to see him enjoy another post match embrace with the fans.

Nothing now for 10 day AFAIK, not easy at this time but would think we could do with something in that time.

Equally just as weird. The most baffling pre season I can remember? That’s not to say it’s without good reason (i.e. double sessions instead) but it’s rare the way we are arranging it.

Starting to get worried about the lack of numbers and creativity in that side so close to the new season. We haven't replaced either Chapman or Goss and Cotterill has himself admitted it has been "a very, very difficult" transfer window. Compare our dealings with our first opponents Burton who have made 10 summer signings so far, including some decent quality.

I have a Hereford supporting friend who went last night, said he thought based on that performance Shrews will def struggle this season, looked disjointed and Hereford could of been out of sight before we equalized.
Unless SC gets some more decent bodies through the door I am concerned in certain area's of the pitch. I know Pierre and Norbs are to come back soon but they wont be the answer. Every team in our division is making signings now and we've seemed to stall somewhat

I thought a week ago that it would only be our blue and yellow shirts that I would be worried about. But the lack of pre season games, two mainstay players playing in a cup competition and a threadbare squad a couple of weeks from the opener, I am very concerned. I'm not sure how many other clubs are in a similar boat to us but the lack of pre season game time and with clearly more players to come in and gel with the team, I am expecting a slow start from us in the first month or two of the new season.

Some observations
Really like Leahy, combative, spirited and his long balls looped down the line found runners a lot... great outlet.
Keeper on debut did not play like a sweeper keeper, he hoofed everything and looked a bit Harry Burgyone at times. More to come i'm sure.
Ogbeta looked a little lost on the wing at times. Not convinced that gets the best out of him.
Whalley was bad in the 10 role despite the late goal. His passing was awful (but most peoples was)
Two CBs were pretty solid and did what they needed to but distribution forward was still poor.
MF two got run over at times which was surprising considering their experience. Got big cant be arsed with this vibes from Vela. Two footed someone for a booking.
Bloxham was great I though until he got injured (knee and looked in real pain). Hold up play was great. Scored a decent goal that was ruled out. Needs to win more headers.
Bowman, still impressed. His work rate is excellent.
Elliot Bennett is a player. Good touch, very supportive and demanding of others. Still got allthe energy and legs you would want for an older player. Will be stand out for us this season I think.
Away from players
Ogbeta was skipper for the night... got to be one of the youngest captain's for any game we have ever had!
Herefords ground is still like stepping back to the 1960s. Brought back conference days memories.
In general town were poor, we played a very direct style of football with 4 at the back and didnt really have that many nice looking moves until late on.
As others have said above, just pre season, but does show why hes after 4 more players. The squad is very thin. more to come I would hope. But if you went into a season with just what we have now... i would be worried.
Big two weeks.
Also the A49 was closed out of Hereford on the way home. Nightmare!

Smacks of players not in SCs plans. Daniels is a useful squad player so could stay but surely Pyke will be off out, at least on loan. Even when Bloxham went off he was replaced by Udoh rather than Pyke despite Udoh starting the last game.

By the sound of it, an iffy performance, but a decent result.... I’m quite relaxed about it all. Preseason is rarely representative of the season proper. I remember a similar match at Kidderminster Harriers under GT about a decade ago, we lost that night but ended the season promoted with some real champagne football at times. The squad may be small, but you would think nearly everyone involved so far is genuinely going to have a big part to play this season. Confident we will plug the gaps with some more quality, Norburn and Pierre will be back soon and Exeter will give us a decent passing football test before we kick off v Burton. All will be well. (waits for Pilch to resurrect this post in April 2022.... )
