Butcher looks forward to Hereford Game

Brentford manager Terry Butcher will be looking for a return to winning ways at Edgar Street on Saturday after going down 3-2 to Dagenham and Redbridge last night.

He thought defensive errors were to blame for every Daggers goal.

"We started off okay, we hit the bar and really should have scored from the chance, but they responded well and scored the first goal. I thought we played well at the end of the first half, and then we came out for the second with all good intentions, but concede the penalty - and then to give away the third in that manner obviously gives us a real problem," Butcher told the Official Brentford website.

"So we changed it around, just like on Saturday, we tried to get it forward quickly, we had opportunities to get something out of the game but the bottom line is we can't concede like that."

Butcher could be without several players on Saturday. He had to withdraw Charlie Ide with a shoulder injury last night and was without two central defenders Matt Heywood and John Mackie.

"Hopefully we can get Mackie back for the weekend," said Butcher. "It's a tough fixture on Saturday but we've had tough away fixtures already this season and got results so we'll go there and aim to do that."

For Hereford manager Graham Turner will be concerned that winger Lionel Ainsworth took a knock last night at Notts County and may have needed treatment this morning.
