Quinn predicts Hereford fall

The manager of one of Hereford United's Conference rivals has unleashed a scathing attack after last night's 5-1 win over Northwich Victoria.

Jimmy Quinn, who switched from the Vics to Shrewsbury Town in the summer, said of the Bulls in the Shropshire Star: "They are riding their luck and are due a fall."

Shrewsbury are currently ten points behind league leaders Hereford, described by Quinn as "nothing special", and he added: "They're just a workmanlike side who are full of confidence at the moment.

"The scoreline last night didn't reflect their play but they are just going through one of those stages where everything they touch turns to goals.

"They've got some good players but they're nothing special they're just on the crest of the wave, riding their luck and are due a fall.

"I'm sure at some stage Hereford with their very tight squad will pick up a few injuries because they haven't had any yet - they've been very lucky."

Andy Tretton and Rob Purdie both missed last night's match, but the loan signing of Tamika Mkandawire from West Bromwich Albion has bolstered the squad.
