Salop fell to an opening day defeat to begin their League One campaign on Saturday as they were beaten by Stevenage in a brutal game in Hertfordshire.
Town competed well against their physical opponents without creating an abundance of clear-cut chances.
But Elliott List’s 54th-minute strike proved to be the difference between to two sides in the end. Hurst says it is a long season and his side will make progress.
He said: “I watched some of the games before us on Saturday, and you hear someone say ‘It is not a great start’.
“We would have all preferred to have won or take a point, which I think we probably warranted overall.
