Brown heaps praise on Turner
Terry Brown, the Aldershot Town manager, has congratulated Hereford United on the superb season, but hopes his side will upset the Bulls' party in the play-offs.
Talking to the Aldershot News and Mail, he said: "I’d like to say congratulations to Graham Turner, who’s done a fantastic job, but we’re going to give you a game on Thursday.
"I’ll be saying to the players that they can get to Stoke City, in the final and I can use loads analogies — the best one being Hednesford. They didn’t think they stood a chance in the FA Trophy semi-finals but they thoroughly deserved to win both games.
"Now I’m hoping that the burden of fear has been taken off them I want them to get out, play their football and enjoy their football again. It’s a clean slate now, It doesn’t matter if you finish 20 points ahead of anybody and we’ll be looking to take advantage of it. We know it’s going to be hard, they’re on a fantastic run but they will fell a bit of pressure won’t they. Anything now will be a double bonus.
"We’ve had two really close games with Hereford, we were really unlucky at their place when we lost 4-3, while in the home game we were at sixes and sevens and they were good value for the win.
"The players are not going to get bigger games than this. There will be two full houses and the atmosphere will be fantastic. The first one is always an awful game, a very nervy affair, and I wouldn’t mind betting it will go down to the last 15 minutes at Hereford in the second game."
Brown also revealed that the Shots will be practising penalty kicks as both last season's Play-Off semi-finals were decided from the spot and Brown is well aware that getting ready for such an event is vital. He added: “Yes, before you ask, we will be practising penalties. I don’t care how we win it, just as long as we do."
Brown is hoping to have defender Simon Downer back in action.
