Hereford comeback leaves Neil Baker feeling physically sick

By David Simpson

Lost two goal lead in added time

SLOUGH Town joint-manager Neil Baker admits that he felt physically sick after the 2-2 draw with Hereford at Arbour Park on Saturday.

The Rebels conceded a two-goal lead in time added on as Hereford rescued a point to remain unbeaten away from home in the Southern Premier Division this season.

Baker is bitterly disappointed only to draw having been the better side, but he believes Slough did not have the luck needed to secure all three points.

“We were brilliant for 90 minutes and didn’t give Hereford a sniff. They had one chance but it wasn’t really a chance - a ball into the box that missed everyone and Jack Turner had to make a save.

“When you are two goals ahead in the 93rd minute you expect to see out the game but individual errors have cost us so it’s bitterly disappointing.

“As a manager you feel physically sick because it was a game that was won but we blew it so unfortunately that’s not the case.

“Before the game, if you had said we would earn a point that would not be bad, but when you have all three in your grasp it’s bitterly disappointing.

“We gave away the ball on the edge of our box but it was a really good finish so don’t take anything away from the lad.
