Scouts out at Burton

Several scouts and managers were expected at Burton last night to watch what turned out to be an exciting game even if the scoreline was not to Hereford's liking.

Garry Hill from Dagenham was there, not doubt seeing how the Bulls performed ahead of the televised game between the two clubs on Oct 13th. Other Conference managers/scouts thought to have attended were Chris Wilder from Halifax and Brian Miller from Farnborough, while ex-United and Shrewsbury physio Simon Shakeshaft was also in attendance.

From Nationwide League clubs were Colin Dobson from Stoke City, Dave Thompson from Chesterfield, Kelvin Gregory from Swindon, Shaun Conner from Lincoln, Mike Betts from Bolton, Andy Billington from Rotherham, and Dick Bradshaw from Birmingham.

Of the game itself, United midfielder Jamie Pitman told the Evening News: "We conceded some bad goals tonight and the lads are very disappointed with the performance.

"We had been excellent until tonight and we will need to bounce back and make amends against Telford on Tuesday."
