McGrath Expected Back In Starting Eleven For Hereford Tomorrow


 

Mike McGrath, pictured above, is expected to back in the starting eleven for Hereford in their game against Telford tomorrow.

The midfielder was suspended for last Tuesday's game against Dunstable after picking up two yellow cards at Tiverton the previous Tuesday.

Also likely to be back in contention for a start is Ryan Green who also missed last Tuesday's game. He had informed manager Peter Beadle that he wouldn't be available some weeks before.

With Green expected to partner Jack Deaman in the heart of defence, Dan Preston may have to be content with a place on the bench.

Given it's highly unlikely that Beadle has found a left back able to play tomorrow, it's thought Jimmy Oates will continue in that position with youngster Dara O'Shea at right back.

Beadle will also need to decide who will partner Mike McGrath in midfield. Calvin Dinsley remains sidelined so last Tuesday Rob Purdie and Keyon Reffell played in the center.

With Reffell, Pablo Haysham, Adam Page, Garyn Preen and Jamie Bird all competing for position on the wings, Beadle could leave Reffell to partner McGrath. On the other hand he might feel that for a game of this importance the experienced Rob Purdie would be better suited.

John Mills should start in attack. And Mike Symons looks set to get the nod over Lance Smith to partner Mills given the big man's performance last Tuesday.

Probable starting XI: Horsell, O'Shea, Deaman, Green, Oates, Reffell, McGrath, Purdie, Preen, Symons, Mills.

Subs: Harris (A), Preston, Haysham, Page, Bird, Smith, Franklin
