So good so far
Comparisons are difficult to make between one season and another but Hoagy from Confguide.com have been looking at the top of the Conference over the past couple of years.
He concludes that at present Hereford have 29 pts after 12 games. By comparison, Yeovil were top at this stage last season with 27, and Dagenham the season before, also with 27.
In 2000/1 Rushden were top after 12 with 30 pts. They lost their 13th match, at which point Yeovil took over at the top of the table until February.
In theory the Bulls should win their next two games, Tuesday at Northwich, and the following Monday at Edgar Street against Dagenham. If they can get the six points, it would be one of the best starts for any team in the Conference for many years.
And on the clean play front Hereford are now second in that league with 17 yellow cards and no reds so far. Burton Albion lead with 13 yellows and one red. It proves that you can be top of the league and get there with out resorting to breaking the rules. In fact the Bulls have to date only made 125 fouls, the lowest in the Conference. Chester, who have made 200 fouls so far, have the worst record.
