Wright and Baker pass tests
Both Hereford United captain Ian Wright and first-choice goalkeeper Matt Baker have passed fitness tests ahead of tomorrow's Nationwide Conference match against Stevenage Borough at Edgar Street, kick off 3pm.
Wright had been suffering with a jarred knee and Baker with a hip injury, but both will be fit meaning that Hereford only miss the services of Matt Clarke, as he continues to recover from a knee operation.
Bulls midfielder Jamie Pitman is aware of the changes that Stevenage have made over the past few weeks, but is more worried about his own side's performance.
"We have been talking about the match all week and it is going into the unknown with Stevenage having changed quite a few personnel," he told the Evening News. "We don't know what to expect but we have to worry about ourselves.
"Another thing we have talked about this week is having got ourselves into play-off contention what can we do to stay in that position. One of the things is to work on our fitness so we can maintain a good fitness level and keep fresh which hopefully will give us an upper hand. We are not the biggest of sides but we have other attributes and we play at a high tempo and to do that you need good fitness levels."
"If we can keep winning our home games and picking up draws on the road that should be good enough. We mustn't forget that we had a spell with just one point out of 18 which if you think about it was horrendous but you can't look back and we're going through a good stage at the moment."
Dino Maamria, Leigh RMI's Tunisian attacker who has scored twelve times this season, has reportedly signed for the Boro' today to bolster Graham Westley's front-line. Westley had been searching for a striker having already been turned down by Rocky Baptiste of Farnborough and Nuneaton attacker Mark Quayle.
Westley was adamant that Hereford will be tough opponents for his side. He told the Hertfordshire Mercury: "I'll be approaching the Hereford game in the same way as any other game. It's a tough trip and not many sides have beaten them there this season. They're going well so we'll need to grind them down and try to get a result."
