No Injury Problems For Bulls

Hereford United are reporting no new injury problems for tonight's game.

The news will come as a bonus with the Bulls needing to name seven subs for the trip to Selhurst Park after the Carling Cup fell into line with the Premier League's new subs bench for this season. This means that two of the four fit players that failed to make the bench on Saturday - Luke Webb, Craig Jones, Sam Gwynne, and Garry Breen - will be added to the team sheet.

The ruling has not gone down well with some lower league managers. Southend boss Steve Tilson has been especially critical of the move: "I think it is ridiculous.

"Christ if you can't choose three subs from five then there is something wrong. For smaller clubs like us all seven substitutes means is that Premier League sides are more likely to keep their younger players rather than let them out on loan."
