Turner faces selection headache

Hereford United have just one player sidelined for tomorrow's Nationwide Conference trip to Morecambe.

Matt Clarke remains sidelined after his knee operation, but Graham Turner must choose whether to stick with the side that beat Gravesend & Northfleet 3-0, or to bring back the suspended duo of Steve Guinan and Danny Williams who missed out on that match.

"Both Williams and Guinan are available and it's a nice problem to have a selection headache for a change," admitted Turner in the Evening News. "Sawyers and Purdie both did well last week and after a 3-0 win it doesn't automatically mean I'm going to change the side around. But if they are left out they can have gained confidence in the knowledge that they have contributed to a good win."

Of Morecambe, Turner continued: "They changed the way they play slightly and are a much bigger side with the emphasis on hitting the ball forward quicker but that may have been the influence of the pitch. Morecambe are up their challenging for a play-off place with us and will be a handful but we feel we can handle most things that teams throw at us.

"Our form has been good and we showed with our win at Chester that we can be solid and compete with the top clubs."

Meanwhile, Hereford United director and former council chairman George Hyde will stand as an independent at next May's council elections. Hyde is one of twenty four independents standing, according to BBC Hereford & Worcester.
