Gowling Looks Forward To The Visit Of Spennymoor


The National North League starts next Saturday and Hereford's first game is at Edgar Street against Spennymoor.

Manager Josh Gowling's defence will need to be particularily wary of Glen Taylor, who has scored over 100 goals for Spennymoor to date.  

"No pressure!," said Gowling.

"First game of the season they've got to be on it.

"He gets goals that's what he's in their team for.

"They'll play expansive football, they'll get their full backs forward, they'll get deliveries in the box so we've got to make sure we're on our metal especially in the box in around him but I've got full cofidence in my boys.

"I think it's helped that it's been a settled squad, we've had about twelve in since the first day of pre-season. I think people can see that.

"I know the deficencies of the squad from last season and we've tried to plug those holes nice and early in pre-season.

"I'd like to think there is a clear understanding of the way we are playing and I think the fans have seen that. It seems very positive." 

Gowling also spoke about the backing of the board and the supporters recently which has helped with bringing in players.

"This pre-season has been a lot different because things have been set up earlier so it's enabled us to go out and get what we've needed to get in.

"The board have been fantastic with us and fully supportive with us.

"For me the fans have been massive for us because I just look at the money they've raised and it's enabled me to get a settled squad and improve the squad during pre-season and that's thanks to the money that the fans have raised for us, it's so big for us.

"The longer they keep donating to the Squad Builder and we'll bring in more players.

"It's a fan run club. They've been absolutely fantastic supporting me, supporting the boys.

"We know they are going to turn up in their droves on Saturday and it's going to be a really good atmosphere."
