Sutton - We wanted to tame Bulls

Last updated : 21 December 2009 By Peter Muxlow

The Imps were already in the area when the game was called off, and manager Chris Sutton has admitted they wanted to play the game.

"We wanted to play the play game because we don't want games to be called off," said the ex Chelsea man.

"We were already in Hereford and had prepared well. Yes, we've got a couple of injuries, but the players have trained well and we would have been able to name a fairly strong side."

Even last weeks defeat to Rochdale hadn't dampened the managers spirits as he conceded we wouldn't face a better team all season.

"The spirit in the camp has been good. There's no reason why it shouldn't have been. We lost to the league leaders last weekend and won't come up against a better side than that this season.

"No one expected us to beat Rochdale, but last night we would have had a better chance of getting something from the game."

"They only played on Tuesday night which possibly would have helped us."
