Baker likes being on TV
Matt Baker, the Hereford United first choice stopper, has been telling the Non-League Paper of his love of being on television in advance of tommorrow's clash with Dagenham and Redbridge. In a long article written by Colin Mafham, Baker gives an insight into why Hereford start firm favourites for this game.
"It won't be a case of performing for the cameras on Monday, but I always seem to do well on TV, it's something of a lucky omen. And as we seem to have to have got in plenty of shots even in our dullest games this season, we are hoping to put on a good show," said Baker.
"People keep asking me what the difference is (this season) and I can tell them only one thing, it's because we've bonded as a group. While other sides signed new players in the summer the only real change in our team is Ryan Green at full-back.
"They're very young as well, I'm a veteran at 23 and one of the longest servants, and there is a confidence about them. We're not arrogant or over-confident, but at the moment we feel that whatever happens, even if we're playing the referee as well, we will come through. That is a massive strength to have."
Baker has been with the Bulls for four years and in that time the Bulls have only lost one game, against Wigan, in six televised matches.
