I've said it before and I'll say it again, football is a very cruel game at times.

Amidst all the euphoria of another very impressive three-goal performance, I felt such sympathy with Graham Turner after the game.

I listened to his reasoned and measured post match interview with interest. He's a football man and one I have a great amount of respect for, not least for the excellent job he's done at Hereford on a very small budget.

I almost felt guilty as he described the painful night he'd just experienced. For an hour he probably thought his side were going to snatch something at the home of the most in-form team in League 1 (I love saying that).

All too often, teams come to stadiummk and sit behind the ball, they don't venture forward and the game becomes predictable. Sure Hereford defended, but they played two forwards and looked to break quickly.

It made for a wonderfully open game at times, which in the end was the visitors downfall. The Dons are becoming ever more clinical, the way the second goal was constructed just minutes after the first destroyed any hopes Turner had of getting something from the game.

Hereford made the mistake of trying to get a goal back quickly, but all they did was leave gaps for the likes of Wright, Puncheon and Baldock to exploit with their pace.

To their credit Hereford still pushed for a goal, but then forgot to tackle Jemal Johnson as he scored probably the best individual goal all season.

That statement will probably upset Dean Lewington, who rightly deserves praise for his wonder strike at Hartlepool, but there was a sense of exorcism about Johnson's strike.

The last four games have been his best in a Dons shirt by far, he's scored three goals and made one at Hartlepool. He was incredibly unlucky to find himself on the bench but, as Paul Mitchell commented to me on Dons World, it shows the strength within the Club to have his ilk among the substitutes.

And that brings us neatly back to Hereford, because the greatest of sympathy on Tuesday night went to goalkeeper Matt Murray. Had things gone differently he possibly could have spent the last month in a Dons shirt, had they really gone differently he could have spent last week in an England shirt.

Hereford's Matt Murray was desperately unlucky to pick up an injury on Tuesday night.

There was no doubting his talent as a youngster, and I'm sure everyone in the stadium and everyone at the club wishes Matt a speedy recovery. It was clear to see in Graham Turner's face how worried they were about him, and for me it mellowed what was another great night for the Dons and once again showed how cruel this game can be.
