Statistics point to a successful campaign
Despite just missing out on the play-offs, Hereford United's average attendance for the season looks set to reach the 2,000 mark.
Currently, the Bulls are fourth in the average attendance table, behind Yeovil Town, Doncaster Rovers and Chester City, three sides inside the promotion spots. Behind Hereford, Woking and Stevenage Borough are fifth and sixth, with other play-off sides Dagenham & Redbridge ninth and Morecambe eleventh. At the other end, Leigh average just 486 per game and Margate 695. Six sides fail to hit the four-figure average.
In terms of United's discipline, Graham Turner's menm have led the fair-play league for much of the season and Jamie Pitman's nine yellow cards is the highest in the squad. In comparison, at least three players at Leigh have surpassed that figure.
Steve Guinan's fourteen Conference goals means he features in the leading scorers charts, on par with Warren Patmore of Woking and Telford United's Paul Moore. Paul Barnes of Doncaster Rovers leads the charts with twenty-three goals, but Paul Parry's ten goals give him a 20% success rate with shots on-target. His fifty is the highest of any Hereford player, but he's also missed the target thirty-seven times this season. Parry's contribution the the team, though, is further underlined by his twelve assists, having made 112 crosses. Matt Baker has also played more minutes than any other Conference players with two exceptions, Martin Matthews of Kettering Town and Doncaster's Andy Warrington. Michael Rose also features in the Conference top ten, and is currently ninth.
Steve Guinan has also been caught offside twenty-six times, more than any other Hereford player but a small figure when compared with the Conference's top offender, Junior Agogo of Barnet, who has been signalled offside on sixty-four occasions. Andy Tretton has committed forty-three fouls, the highest for Hereford, while Steve Guinan has won fifty-eight free-kicks.
The team as a whole has scored 1.51 goals per Conference game, but have failed to find the net in ten of the thirty-nine played so far. In a third of the matches, the Bulls have scored two goals and have surpassed this figure on seven occasions. Of United's 482 shots, 240 have hit the target and nine have found the woodwork. The Bulls have had 229 corners, been flagged offside 110 times and haven't had a no score draw in thirty-one matches.
