Bulls’ Blitz Truro But Davies Still Disappointed!

Gareth Davies’ first reaction from coming from 3-0 down to beat Truro City 4-3 in the FA Cup was “disappointment”.

The stand-in Hereford head of football was still delighted to see his side come back from the dead to progress.

The win banks the Bulls a cheque for £9,000 and a tie home tie with Welling United in the next round.

But hard-to-please Davies sets his standards right. He says the National League North club should never have got themselves into that position on the south coast.

He said: “My first emotion really is disappointment.

“You don’t go 3-0 down like that. They have basically had three chances and we have gifted them goals.

“We weren’t narrow and we weren’t disciplined but then it turned around and we got a hold of the game.

“As that third goal went in I think I ruined my shoes and trousers as I was sliding everywhere!”

He told Bulls Radio: “When I came in I told them to play for the badge and play for their families, and they did that.

“I wasn’t the most gifted player, but when I pulled on that shirt I gave it everything. That’s all I have asked of these players since I came in.

“They did that and I’m delighted for them and for the supporters.”
