Caddis felt Hereford ‘deserved something’ from defeat

​Emeka Obi’s 11th minute goal separated the sides as Hereford fell to their 10th defeat in 20 league games this season. The Bulls failed to trouble Christian Dibble in the Harriers goal during the second half with Andy Williams coming closest at the death with a volley which flew over. However, Caddis felt that his side should have come away with a point for their efforts. “Everyone is entitled to their opinion,” said Caddis. “We feel as if we deserve something out of the game. I thought there was loads of endeavour and it was a proper derby. “The difference between the teams was a second phase set piece. I think we definitely deserved something out of the game. “I think we probed as much as we possibly could, particularly in the second half, and just unfortunately couldn’t break Kidderminster’s defence down or get a real big opportunity. “We had lots of smaller opportunities and we had lots of balls in the box. We had corner after corner.” The Bulls once again conceded first and gave themselves an uphill challenge after Obi was allowed to turn in the box and squeeze his effort over. Caddis added: “There was nothing in the game for 10, 15 or 20 minutes. “Overall the game could have and probably should have ended 0-0. At the moment we’re finding it really difficult, especially in the early part of the game. Conceding a goal after 10 minutes in a local derby is something we constantly stress about. I think we reacted pretty well from that.” Caddis also reflected on a 29th minute Hereford opportunity where skipper Lewis Hudson felt his effort had been cleared off the line illegally with a hand. However, referee Ben Wyatt felt otherwise. “I think it’s a penalty,” Caddis added. “I spoke to the referee at half-time. His view was that he couldn’t give it because he thought it hit his hand, but wasn’t convinced through the amount of bodies. “You have to respect that. We’ve had apology after apology after apology for numerous things. It’s not ideal, however, it’s not why we are in the position that we are. It’s down to myself, the staff and the players and to try and get ourselves out of the position that we’re in.”
