Bulls aim to remain top
Hereford United will be looking for yet another bumper crowd when Gravesend & Northfleet visit Edgar Street on Saturday afternoon.
Gravesend are currently lying sixteenth in the league having only won one away game so far this season. However, last Saturday, they beat Exeter 3-2 and scored an injury time equaliser on Tuesday night to claim a 2-2 draw away at Stevenage after going down to ten men. Justin Skinner and Steve McKimm are both suspended for the game this weekend.
Hereford are again likely to be without Andy Tretton who has an ankle injury and missed last Tuesdays encounter with Telford United. Richard Teesdale is likely to cover for him. Rob Purdie however, should be back in the squad.
Manager Graham Turner told the club's official website: "Andy's still struggling a little bit and therefore he's a major doubt but it looks like Rob will be available to us again. That will be a bonus as he's started the season well and having him back would give me a bit of a selection headache. It's a nice problem to have though and it's nice to have selection dilemmas of that kind, rather than only having 15 or 16 fit players available to choose from."
Turner will have a selection head-ache should Purdie be fit. David Brown started in attack alongside Steve Guinan against Telford, but Purdie has been impressive so far this season will surely be in with a chance to start.
Another good gate is expected at Edgar Street after Tuesdays attendance of 4190. The Bulls boss is urging fans to get to the ground early.
