Game of Two Halves said Goodwin
HEREFORD United beat off Margate 3-0 at Edgar Street yesterday, and left
midfielder Scott Goodwin exstatic not only with his goal but with the
game in general.
It was a game of two halves, as Goodwin told BBC Hereford &
Worcester's Peter McMillan: "The first half was a bit disappointing. The
fans were getting frustrated and so were the players. Margate came out
in the first half and we found it hard to break them."
Of his goal, which came on fourty-nine minutes, he recalled: "It was a
good move. I think it was Gavin (Williams) and (Matt) Clarke on the
right hand so and Clarke put the ball into my chest, I played a one-two
with Dodge (Ian Rodgerson) and I saw the 'keeper slightly to an angle
and looked up and sneeked it in.
"I went in the dressing room and Phil Robinson said to me you've been
trying to do that for weeks in training and it's finally paid off."
John Shirley doubled the lead on the hour mark with a screamer from
twenty five yards. "John has just come into the side and he's going to
find the pace and power of the Conference hard," said Goodwin. "He
really took it well and, I'll let him have it, his goal was better than
mine."
Rob Elmes netted a third after coming on for Paul Parry. "They all count
at the end of the day. I'm pleased for Rob, he's come off the bench and
got the third."
The Bulls are now unbeaten in their last seven games and Goodwin continued: "The morale in the dressing room is brilliant."
John Shirley was equally pleased with his goal, and he told the
Non-League Paper's George Sawkins: "I'm delighted with that, you don't
get too many goals from left-back."
Coach Phil Robinson commented: "It was a fantastic goal from John. He's come on really well over the last couple of games."
