Marc Pugh feels United need to start converting draws into victories

Hereford United winger Marc Pugh says the Bulls need to hit the ground running now the wintry weather is behind them.

Pugh feels the Bulls are capable of climbing the League Two table, but they need to build-up momentum quickly.

"We have had too many draws this season and it's important that we pick ourselves up," he said.

"We've got a tough game against Bury on Saturday and we need to go there and get another result."

Pugh is the club's leading scorer this season and acknowledges he should have added to his tally during the 1-1 draw at home to Crewe Alexandra on Tuesday.

It's been a bit frustrating with all the games being postponed as we have had two or three weeks off now Marc Pugh

"I thought we created a lot of chances and I could have had a hat-trick myself," he admitted.

"The keeper has made a good save in the first half and maybe I should have done a bit better with two [chances] but you get games like that.

"I am just glad I am getting the chances and on another day I would have scored two or three."

The game against Crewe was Hereford's first home league match since the beginning of December, although they did have a Johnstone's Paint Trophy game against Milton Keynes Dons on 15 December.

The Edgar Street club's last win was five matches ago when they came away from Northampton Town with a 3-1 success.

Prior to the Crewe game, Hereford had played only once since Christmas and Pugh admits he has not enjoyed their enforced lay-off from competitive football.

"It's been a bit frustrating with all the games being postponed as we have had two or three weeks off now," Pugh added.

"It's difficult because you have got to keep your fitness and do all the running that footballers have to do.

"But it's nice to be back playing and we have just to keep picking up points and climbing the league table."
