Is Ferrell the missing link?

Andy Ferrell will return to the Hereford United squad next Saturday for the match against Altrincham.

He was red carded in the match against Kidderminster and therefore has missed the last three games - those against Woking, Morecambe and Dagenham.

In the Kidderminster game he was sent off in the first half when the score was 0-0. Including that game, Hereford have only taken three points out of a possible twelve from their last four matches, by far the poorest return from four games of this season.

During his enforced absence Jamie Pitman and Robbie King have deputised for him.

However Ferrell seemed to have struck up a useful partnership in midfield with Craig Stanley. In the previous eight games before the Kidderminster defeat, the Bulls dropped just four points out of twenty-four and both Ferrell and Stanley were playing.

Whether the expected restoration of the partnership will return the Bulls to winning ways remains to be seen.
