Danny Elliott started his loan spell at Alfreton with a hat-trick in last Tuesday's game against Gloucester City which ended 6-1.
Elliott, who is on loan from Chester for an initial month, took just twelve minutes to open his account with further goals coming after 26 and 63 minutes.
However Chester lost 2-0 to Gateshead on Tuesday and afterwards joint-manager Anthony Johhnson half-hinted that Johnson might be recalled.
"Danny Elliott has scored a brilliant hat-trick.
"That is what he has gone out on loan for, to do that and get a run of games.
"It's just bit us on the backside as he has gone out and done that and we've looked so toothless up front."
Hereford travel to Alfreton on Saturday.
