Brown wants to avoid Hereford
Having said earlier in the week that he thinks Hereford United might slip-up in the playoffs, Terry Brown now says he wants to avoid the Bulls.
The Aldershot manager is hoping that his side will acheive their first win in six league and cup games on Saturday.
"It's a nervous time of year for all clubs in this position. Jumping that final fence is sometimes the most difficult one to climb," Brown told the Aldershot News and Mail. "Look at Exeter. Why would they go all that way before losing their last three games, and Barnet, with only one win in seven. It makes no sense."
Although a draw will do, a win is vital for the Shots if they are to avoid second-place Hereford in the Play-off semi-final.
Brown is well aware of what is required. He added: "A win will give us fourth place and a tie against Shrewsbury, which will give us a huge psychological boost seeing as we beat them at their place a month ago.
"You have to be realistic and say, ideally, we want to avoid Hereford as they and Chester are the best two teams in the league. They have each won 27 games to our 20 and Hereford have beaten us twice, albeit only just."
