Downes Looks Forward To The Visit Of Buxton

Buxton are Hereford's opponents at Edgar Street tomorrow.

Reportedly they set off earlier today and trained at Redditch.

And they've added to their squad with the loan signing of striker Marshall Francis, from Sheffield United, until the end of the season. 

"We’re now going up against a younger team in Buxton that have got some dangerous players," said Hereford manager Aaron Downes.

"They’ve hit a good run of form and they’ve got good energy, so it’s going to be a tough challenge, that’s for sure.

"But at the same time, we’ve tried as best we can to focus on us and what we do. We can make sure that our performance levels are high and that we’re starting games properly. 

"The over-riding feeling is that we have to make sure we are a little bit more ready to start a football match.

"I just think it's switching on at key moments and I think that first ten/fifteen minutes are really important for us.

 "A lot of the focus has been on us and how we approach the game. If we can play at our best, we’re a match for any team and they’ll be just as worried about us."
