Northampton   1 - 3   Hereford

Northampton 1-3 Hereford United

Northampton 1-3 Hereford United

Hereford United came from a goal down at Sixfields to finally record their first away win of the season.

Ryan Gilligan tucked home Adebayo Akinfenwa's cross to give Northampton the lead inside a minute.

But Darren Jones drilled home from a Jordon Mutch corner after 15 minutes, and the Bulls went ahead after the break when Mathieu Manset headed in.

Substitute Craig King made sure of the win when he controlled and converted a byline cross from Marc Pugh.


Cobblers manager Ian Sampson told BBC Radio Northampton:

"That is the worst I've seen us play all season.

"After such a good start we didn't kick on. We lacked enthusiasm and sharpness.

"When passes go astray, you lose confidence. The crowd have every right to boo and shout but I don't think the players weren't trying."

Bulls boss John Trewick told BBC Hereford and Worcester:

"We've been playing pretty well in the last few matches with the new system.

"I just tinkered with it tonight, played with a couple of wide men and one centre forward which isn't a great deal different to what we've been doing.

"The lads played the system well, so much so that Northampton had to change to try to deal with us.

"Once that happened I had to tinker with it a bit again to negate what they'd done and we controlled the game for long periods."
