We will have to work hard says Brown
"We will have to work hard and grind out the result," Terry Brown has told the Aldershot News and Mail in a preview of tonight's game at Edgar Street. "It is important that we do that, because I certainly don't want to go there and get beaten.
"Hereford will always hold a special place in my heart as that was a never to be forgotten day. But this is a totally new season, and they will be wound up so much for it. I would think that in the Hereford supporters' calendar, this is a must, must win for them. Still, it is a must not lose for us!
"I wrote in my programme notes today that after ten games, we will know a lot more about our state of play. By that, I mean after we have played the likes of Hereford and Carlisle. I will know a lot more then as to who is going to make a concerted effort for the league. It's still early doors, but if you look at league tables, they don't often lie after ten games."
A hot reception, as well as a big crowd is expected to greet the Shots tonight, with striker Aaron McLean possibly the target for the boo boys after being involved in the critical sending off of Hereford's Andy Tretton in the play-off semi-final second leg.
McLean was branded a cheat by the home support after the defender had pulled him back, although Brown believes his front-man will always cause defences problems, saying: "Aaron is always a handful. His energy levels cause no end of trouble for defenders and lets not forget what a superb game he had over at Hereford on that day."
Though Brown has slight worries with McLean (swollen ankle) and Darren Barnard (stitched mouth) the boss is unlikely to leave them out for the trip tonight.
