Hereford United defender Richard Rose is sure the side will learn from the 2-1 defeat at Leyton Orient.

Rose told BBC Hereford and Worcester he felt they would take heart from their second-half performance.

"We knew before the game that we could compete at this level and I think we showed that today," he said.

"We took the lead and they then seemed to get back at us, but we were a bit tentative and they got the goal before half time which was a bit of a killer."
