BLUES boss Paul Sturrock heaped praise on winger Ryan Hall following Saturday's 1-0 win over Hereford.

Hall delivered a fantastic cross for Bilel Mohsni’s early goal.

But Sturrock was also impressed by the defensive side of Hall’s game.

“It was a superb cross for the goal and it was a very competent performance from Ryan,” said Sturrock.

“He also tracked back well and stopped them getting crosses in to the box which is important. Jemal (Johnson) needs to learn from that and a few of his crosses went off the pitch so that's also something he needs to work on.”
