We have the ability to beat anyone says Smith

Ben Smith, the Hereford United club captain, has been telling the Western Daily Press about how he feels about Hereford's good start to the season.

"We have made a good start to the season and it's great to have 14 points on the board.

"But, as yet, we don't know the relative strength of the teams we've beaten or whether they are going to be strong promotion candidates.

"We have the ability to beat anyone in this division and this will be put to the test during the next month or so.

"Grimsby have struggled a bit, but I don't think you can read anything into that.

"We have nothing to fear and will go there to play our passing game and come away with the three points.

"What we mustn't do is get sucked into their style of play. (We must) concentrate on our own game, which teams don't like in this division.

"You look to improve on your previous season and I believe the new players have strengthened the squad.

"All the players can be regarded as first-teamers, everyone wants to be in the starting line-up, and there is plenty of competition for places.

"So if there is some rotation in the team, it doesn't weaken the side."
