Hereford produced a poor finishing performance at Edger Street today as they threw away another three points which they so desperatly need.

The story is a typical United one. Hereford held the majority of possession but failed to capitalise on their chances which, granted, were not littering the match, but were in enough abundance to seal the victory.

One of the better chances came when Murray Fishlock and Rob Warner combined well to get behind the Dover defence, allowing Fishlock to cross to Hargreaves, who failed to latch on to the ball with his head.

Dover's keeper also made a save at the feet of James McCue, pushing the ball out to Jamie Pitman whose shot was cleared from the line by Lee Palmer.

Dover never really threaten the United goal until the second half when Lee McRobert broke through the defence following a rare mistake by Gavin Mahon and hit what should have been a simple goal well wide.

He made amends for this just 4 minutes later though as a srappy play in the Hereford penalty area released the ball to him, which he powered in from 10 yards out.

Hereford upped the pressure at this point as they were again chasing a game they should have been winning. Dover started to feel the pressure as well, as players started to panick and play some very dubious football. One dodgy tackle resulted in Jake Leberl leaving for an early bath following a second bookable offence.

Just minutes later and United were given their greatest chance to level the match after Paul Wilson felled Gavin Mahon in the area. Mahon had been free-on-goal and the referee immediately pointed to the shot. Grayson stepped forward to take the penalty, but his powerful shot easily cleared the bar.

With just 10 minutes left, Dover bolstered their defence to what seemed to be all remaining 10 men and clung on to the win, leaving United to regret another poor show of finishing ability.
