Fleetwood Won't Take Hereford Lightly


Fleetwood Town midfielder Aiden O'Neill says Hereford will be a tough test when the two sides meet at Highbury on Saturday.

The 19-year old Australian told Fleetwood's official site: "All of the lads are looking forward to it.

"We have been working hard this week; but know it's not going to be easy as we found out in the First Round against Chorley. It will be a similar test for us as Hereford will be physical.

"Last time the ball was bobbling as we tried to play our football, however this time we will be on a better pitch, which will definitely help us play exciting football."

O'Neill signed for the Cod Army in the summer on loan from Burnley. So far he's made 19 appearances.

"The players can’t and won’t take this game lightly.

"I've always watched the FA Cup back home as it was on television. It was on quite late which my mum and dad didn’t like, but it is massive and I am just excited to be involved in it.

"The players were talking this morning about Ronnie Radford who scored against Newcastle for Hereford, and one of the staff told us all that this is a very big game for them."
