Very Early To Be Worried Said Downes

South Shields are the visitors at Edgar Street tomorrow.

Whilst they sit in third place in the table, they have played one less game than Hereford and are two points behind.

The bookmakers favour them to win the title, currently they are 5/2.

However Hereford manager Aaron Downes says it's very early in the season.

"One team could just go on a massive run, you don't know," he told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"We're not focusing too much on that, I think it's still very early to be worried about anything like that.

"It's a case of picking up as many points as you can and make sure you keep consistent in the standards you keep and the levels of performance.

"We'll see where we are at Christmas time."
