Revenge might sweeten the pill

Brighton and Hove Albion are the visitors to Edgar Street on Tuesday evening and if the Bulls can take all three points from the game it might be enough to ensure the Seagulls play in League Two next season.

Supporters will remember how Brighton pushed the Bulls into the Conference twelve years ago. Tuesday is a chance for at least some revenge. It would even sweeter if Brighton go down and the Bulls stay up but that is probably out of the question.

Brighton manager Russell Slade seems well aware of the position his club are in.

"We can't over estimate the importance of the next two games [against Hereford and Swindon]. I think that they are massive for the football club. Things will really take shape after that and we need to take as many points from those two games as we can," Slade told the Brighton OS.

"We are not scoring away from home and that is the problem at the moment. We need to start doing that because on Tuesday we have to go to Hereford and win. The lack of goals is a massive worry and somebody has got to step up. It is a mental thing not a physical thing. Someone has got to be brave enough to get in the box and put the ball in the net."

Meanwhile Hereford United manager Graham Turner says that the battle against relegation 'is not over'.

"We've still got games left. We've got to beat Brighton on Tuesday night. It's as simple as that."
