Red card decision thrown out

Andy Tretton will not be banned after his sending off at Dagenham & Redbridge last Saturday.

The Hereford United defender has had his red card overturned after an appeal to the FA, and he will play in tomorrow's game at home against Barnet, kick off 3pm.

However, Danny Williams and Matt Clarke are both doubts with leg injuries but United boss Graham Turner is asking fans to be patient.

He told the Evening News: "The league table changes rapidly as we have found with our bad run of results but if we can string a few wins together then the reverse can happen. However there is no room for anxiety about our position and that is something we won't contemplate."

"It is vital we start getting results again," he continued. "You can't always blame luck we need better finishing, to be more alert in the box to pick up ricochets and rebounds. We have not been playing badly performance wise but have not been getting results and just need a little more self belief and that is important with a young squad because the confidence can start to go."

"The impression I have of Barnet is that they like to get the ball down and play. In the Conference there is a stark contrast in styles of play and last week against Dagenham it was a real tough battering ram -- they launched it forward at every opportunity - but Barnet will be a different proposition."

Barnet goalkeeper Lee Harrison will play despite going out on-loan to Peterborough United, as the move has been delayed for two weeks.
