Away trip for Hereford hopefuls
After an ten day break, Hereford United aim to get their Conference play-off aspirations back on track at Farnborough Town tomorrow, kick off 7.45pm.
The Bulls aim to bounce back after a 3-1 defeat at Morecambe on 25th January, following an unbeaten league run going back to November. However, United will face a tough task at Cherrywood Road against a Farnborough side who defeat Telford United 3-2 in the FA Trophy last Saturday, and fought well but lost 5-1 against Arsenal in the FA Cup fourth round.
Andy Tretton will be missing from the heart of the Hereford defence, as he is suspended, so skipper Ian Wright will return alongside Tony James. United also miss Matt Clarke, who is recovering from a knee operation, and wait on the fitness of Rob Purdie, who also picked up a knee injury in the game at Morecambe.
Farnborough, now under the temporary management of Ian McDonald following the departure of chairman/manager Graham Westley to Stevenage Borough last week, have lost Steve Watson, Michael Warner, Barry Laker and Gary Holloway, who followed Westley to the Broadhall Way-based club. Nathan Bunce and Danny Carroll have had their contracts terminated, while Dean Green has an ankle injury and faces a late fitness test.
McDonald told the BBC: "I am fully aware of the current situation at the club and am delighted to help out. I am pleased to be back with a hands-on role and am very much looking forward to the challenge."
