More from the two managers

Both Sammy McIlroy and Graham Turner has been talking to the Lancashire press about this evenings game at Edgar Street.

"We are going to be fighting against the odds tonight, but I'm convinced we still have a big chance of making it to the final," said Morecambe's McIlroy.

"I didn't think we got the rub of the green in the first leg, and we were desperately unlucky to have a goal chalked out.

"We know what we have got to do, though. It is a one-off game and we have nothing to fear.

"We are unbeaten since March and the boys have shown tremendous character, and we are still in there with a mighty shout."

It could be the last time McIlroy will be in charge at Morecambe.

"That doesn't concern us now, we've just got to concentrate on beating Hereford tonight and I think we can achieve our goal.

"It will be tight, a nip and tuck game, but we are still in it, and Hereford should write us off at their peril. Tonight is a complete one off."

As regards injuries:

"Danny Carlton and Jim Bentley are both 50-50 for the tie, and to lose either of them would be a big blow.

"They both came off in the first leg, as did Garry Hunter, but they are not ruled out yet."

Jim Bentley has also spoken to the press.

"We are still in it and we will give 110% at Hereford.

"We have the confidence and the belief that we can achieve our goal because all the pressure will be on Hereford.

"They have finished second for three years and are a team who should be in the Football League.

"Their record speaks for itself - but hopefully this year it will be us. I still think we've a huge chance, and to lead this team into the Football League would be the proudest moment in football."

Meanwhile Graham Turner has said that the Bulls may have to be patient this evening.

"All the players and fans, we all want to score an early goal.

"We don't want anybody freezing on the night.

"We have had two years' experience of taking a 1-1 into the second leg, and not being able to finish the job at home."
