Ten years ago this week Hereford United were probably safe in the Conference for another season but it wasn't quite certain. Here's a look back at the preview for their next game.
HEREFORD United's veteran midfielder Ian Rodgerson is urging his team-mates to play out of their skins against Northwich Victoria tomorrow, kick off 3pm.
The Bulls are now just three points above the drop zone with four games left in the Nationwide Conference and a win at Edgar Street would ease relegation fears.
Rodgerson could return if he overcomes a hamstring injury, and said: "You could see on the players' faces at Doncaster that there was a little bit of acceptance that we were going to get beat. But we need to have strong character on the field of play and really want the ball and first and foremost we need to work really hard for the team.
"Tomorrow is not about Northwich, it is about how we perform on the day and to that end we need to roll up our sleeves and stand up and be counted."
Coach Phil Robinson, who will be without the suspended Scott Goodwin and injured Scott Voice, told the Evening News: "We are still very positive although it wasn't the best we have played by a long way (in the 4-0 defeat at Doncaster) although we did have players like Ian Wright and Scott Goodwin missing and had to play players out of position."
"We've worked hard in training this week but we know we need to pick up points and it's clear to everybody that we are very much caught up in a relegation battle."
Ian Wright will return after injury, allowing Robinson to push back into midfield. "Ian is a very dominant character in the air and that is something that you need both defensively and from an attacking threat at set pieces," said Robinson.
However, Long-term injury victim Scott Voice remains on the sidelines and Paul Parry plays his final game before a one-match suspension after a recent sending off against Woking.
Northwich boss Jimmy Quinn has a major doubt over midfielder Val Owen, who has a hand injury. Quinn hopes he will be fit as Vics aim to build on their 1-0 win at Nuneaton. Quinn said: "I thought it was a tremendous result at Nuneaton and we put in a lot of hard work. Hopefully we can take that on to Hereford."
