Two tough tests says Turner

Graham Turner has told BBC Hereford and Worcester that the Bulls face two tough tests in three days with the game at Altrincham and against Tamworth who are both near the bottom of the Conference.

"It looks as though Altrincham are going to get away from it, although they could go down on a technicality, but both games will be difficult.

"And what we need is decent performances, particually at the home match, and to make sure we are in the play-offs and then we can start planning for them."

Meanwhile Altrincham's official website reports that they will be without Mark Maddox who completes his suspension. Val Owen will be out of action and Chris Adams is also doubtful for the weekend. Blake Norton was ill with a sickness bug earlier this week but may have recovered for the weekend whilst there is also a doubt about Stephen Rose, who was unable to complete last night's Reserves' match through injury.

Finally the Alty manager, Graham Heathcote, has spoken of his hope for a good turnout on Saturday after their win at Dagenham last Tuesday.

"I'm happy for our fans tonight (Tuesday) because they deserved that, they have been excellent throughout this season and there was a great turnout again here. But now it's up to the people of Altrincham to come out and support us against Hereford on Saturday, so that we can finally put this to bed... We went at them right from kick off and all the lads showed real heart. If we approach the Hereford game in the same way we will have a good chance of taking something from it".
