Good day all round
Most results in the Conference have gone Hereford's way today. Only Halifax and Yeovil, out of the other clubs in the top seven, won their matches (against Farnborough and Morecambe respectively). Doncaster were beaten at home by Telford in the shock result of the day and tonight Chester were held at home by Barnet.
This means that the Bulls move up to fifth place in the league. Yeovil lead with 59 points from 28 games with Chester and Doncaster both on 51 points from 27 games. Halifax lie fourth on 49 points but have played 28 games. Then come Hereford United with 46 points from 26 games and Scarborough also with 46 points but from 27 games and a poorer goal difference. Morecambe are seventh with 43 points from 26 games.For the Bulls to be in fifth place with at least a game in hand over those around them is a good position at this stage of the season.
Next week's fixtures are crucial as Hereford are likely to have a hard game at Morecambe on Saturday and will do well to come back with all three points.However Morecombe have a mid-week game at Nuneaton, which they should win, but could leave them a little tired for Saturday. Other games to look for are next weekend are Scarborough versus Chester and Northwich versus Halifax. Draws in both of these games will help the Bulls.
The Bulls really are on good form. Seven league games without defeat is excellent and to have only conceded one goal in those games (against Forest Green) says volumes about the defence. Realists know that all good runs come to an end at some stage but hopefully not too soon.
The discipline league is somewhere else Hereford are doing well. After todays game the Bulls are well in front of the rest with only 35 points. Gravesend are currently bottom with 82 points.
