Several injury doubts for tomorrow

Graham Turner, the Hereford United manager, has told the Worcester News that he thinks his side is full of confidence in advance of tomoorow's trophy game against Grays Athletic.

"Obviously they (Grays) will be tough opposition as they are having a good season. But, having said that, we are full of confidence at the moment, especially after the Cambridge result on Tuesday.

"Coming back from two goals down against them to draw 2-2 also gives us a big psychological boost ahead of the game.

"We know they are a good side and, as defending champions, they will want to retain the trophy. But we are aware of what they have to offer and we know what we need to do to go through."

Turner admits that getting back to the football league is his priority.

"It's one we'd like to progress in, there's money in it, and there's some prestige in it, if you can get to the final.

"I'd have loved to have played in the final before now, but we've never quite made it, although we've gone close once or twice.

"That said, though, our league campaign is still very much a priority for us."

Turner also told the paper that Guy Ipoua (calf), Andy Ferrell (ankle) and Simon Travis (back) are all being monitored, but he admits they are likely to miss the game. Jamie Pitman (knee) remains a long-term injury victim.
