Shots return to Edgar Street
Hereford United play hosts to Aldershot Town tommorow evening for the first time since the play offs last season. Hereford have won their last two games and will be looking to start a good run of form, but Aldershot will be full of confidence following a 4-0 victory over Dagenham & Redbridge. Many of the Hereford supporters will see this game as a revenge match, but the players and staff at Edgar Street are looking at the game like any other one.
The Shots, who currently have three more points than United, should have Nikki Bull in goal, although he is suffering from a fractured finger. Steve Watson will definatly miss out through suspension.
Hereford United will have Tamika Mkandawire back in contention for a place in the squad, although it is expected that Tom Smith will be preferred in the starting eleven. Ryan Green will miss out again with an abdominal injury and Rob Purdie is still sidelined. It is expected that Graham Turner will stick with a winning side for the visit of Aldershot, meaning that Lee Mills will be selected in front of Adam Stansfield.
Speaking to the HUFC official website about Tuesday's game John Trewick, the Hereford United coach who is sponsored by Bulls News, said, "We know it will be a very tough one on Tuesday and they'll certainly come here full of confidence after a fine win over Dagenham on Saturday."
"However, we're in good heart too after back-to-back wins so it has all the makings of being a really good game. You would expect them to come here trying to win the game and that should suit us a little more if they come out and play. That gives us the chance to express ourselves in the way that we want too, and I know the players are looking forward to the game".
David Brown has also spoken of his hopes for the Aldershot game. "I think we're capable of beating any team in this league if we play to what we are capable of. Aldershot will fancy coming here and getting three points and that will make it an attractive game. "I don't think we're looking at revenge. We have just got to get on with every game."
Aldershot failed to defeat Hereford in any of the four meetings last season, the Bulls were victorious in both of the league fixtures. The game is sure to be full of incident and excitement,especially if it is like the corresponding fixture last season. A large attendance is expected and if the home fans get behind the Bulls then they could act as a "twelth man" and help United to victory.
