Hereford Wil Be Tough Said Dean

Scunthorpe manager Jimmy Dean has said he expects a tough game at Hereford tomorrow.

His side have had the whole week to prepare for what is their second longest away trip of their season.

However it does look as though there won't be too many of their supporters at the game despite being allocated over 700 tickets.

As at earlier today only around 200 have bought tickets.

"I think it's a tough fixture," said Dean.

"Well supported, great ground.

"I experienced it last season (with Peterborough Sports) and really enjoyed it.

"They've been very flexible with their formations, Three games ago they played 4-4-2, two games ago 3-5-2, then Tuesday night against Scarborough they played 4-3-3.

 

"They've had our own Tom Pugh playing there. They are a bit unpreditable what they are going to do but in the same vein we've got to worry about what we do.

"Tom has done well there, he had a great assist the other night, picked up in his own half, beat two or three players.

"He's a great player, needed a run of games and I'm glad he is getting them now.

"I think he will be a miss for them. I think he would be a miss for anyside in the division when he's right and on form."

Asked if Pugh he given him any inside information Dean said "No comment."

Back to tomorrow's game.

"Our away form is average, won three, drawn three, lost three.

"We want it to be a little bit better than that to compliment our home form a little bit more.

"I think if we can go and give a good performance and a good win there it puts out a bit of a statement."
