Green and Pitman doubts for tomorrow

Hereford United are reported to have four players with fitness doubts for tomorrow's match at Gravesend.

Ryan Green is said to be suffering with a hip problem and Jamie Pitman has a hernia type injury which may require surgery. Richard Teesdale is also a doubt with a dead leg, while Jordan King's ankle is causing him trouble

Meanwhile Richard O'Kelly has told the Evening News why he remembers last year's game at Gravesend when the Bulls were beaten 3-0. "It was a bit of a shock. They literally battered us, physically, mentally and technique wise," recalls O'Kelly. "We had one of those days where we just didn't turn up but in the return fixture we got revenge to show we had grown up a little bit.

"This season we drew 3-3 and in light of their recent results it probably wasn't a bad point. They shown with results against Morecambe and a win at Exeter that they are no pushovers. They've assembled a good squad, they're very organised and are reaping the rewards."
