Wilson Doesn't Care Who Wins

Hartlepool boss Danny Wilson doesn't care who wins tonight's FA Cup replay between the Bulls and Leeds United.

The Pools face the victors in Round Two and Wilson will be one of those watching tonight's game, but he doesn't think the result is so cut and dried as many do: "Ive no preference at all who wins the tie. I think everyone is expecting Leeds to win it, but Hereford might be up for a shock.

"They are no mugs - they are a good side. It wont be easy for Leeds, but it wont be easy for Hereford with such a partisan crowd against them. But Hereford have gone away this season and won on the road, so Im sure Dennis Wise and Leeds wont be taking them lightly.

"But from my point of view who wins, it doesnt really matter. We know both teams we can come up against - weve played Leeds and played very well against them this season and we know Hereford from last season."

Wilson's side conceded five goals to a shot-shy Bulls side last season, losing at Edgar Street 3-1, and lost to Leeds at Elland Road 2-0 earlier this season.
