Darlington Vs Hereford United

The  Bulls take the long trip up north tomorrow to begin their season defining week.

Turner has stressed the importance of being winners, and if the boys take that on board over the next three games, we have a massive chance of going up.

Darlington away, who are in fifth, is followed by a daunting trip to Paul Ince’s MK Dons on Tuesday night with Darren Ferguson then bringing his impressive Peterborough United side down to the home of football. 

We all know that traditionally Hereford have been a better side on the road so three points tomorrow against a recently poor Darlington side is a real possibility. A draw would be a good result away at MK Dons who lets be honest are flying, then the real test comes a week tomorrow. 

Peterborough have been on fantastic form and have pushed the Dons all the way but if we can beat them (which we can) then it is all to play for.

As far as tomorrow goes, Hereford welcome back Trevor Benjamin to the squad after a spell on the sidelines with an eye infection (he will be wearing Edgar Davids style glasses, lets hope he plays like him) whilst Steve Guinan continues his recovery from a three month lay off to lead the Bulls attack along side in form Gary Hooper.

As posted earlier loanee Sammy Igoe is out, and probably will be for the Dons trip but apart from him Turner has no new injury worries with long term absentees Luke Webb and Mark Ingham still out.

Despite their failure to win in the last three games, hereford are still sitting in third spot and have two games in hand on tomorrow’s opposition and on second place Peterborough.

Mad4Bulls prediction: Darlo 1-2 Hereford United.

Igoe joins the ranks as two depart

IN football news is like London buses, nothing to write about so I try and conjure up some rubbish, and now two newsworthy stories come along at once. Anway here it is…

SAMMY Igoe has decided to jump on board the Hereford United bandwagon for the remainder of the season to help push the Bulls over the automatic promotion line.

The 32 year old midfielder has played for a whole host of clubs including Portsmouth, Reading, Luton Milwall, Swindon and lastly Bristol Rovers.

Igoe will become the oldest player in the squad, just beating striker Steve Guinan by a few months and will be able to offer some much needed experience to the younger squad players.

 TWO of Hereford United’s promising youngsters have gone the other way, leaving the club on loan until the end of the season.

Craig Jones and Jordan Fitzpatrick have both agreed to go and help out down at Bromsgrove Rovers which will also give them some much needed first team practice.

Hereford United Vs Bury

VS

 

BULLS new signing Ryan Esson goes straight into the squad for tomorrow’s game against Bury but on-loan defender Robbie Threlfall looks set to miss out due to an ankle injury.

Steve Guinan is close to returning after a calf injury which has kept him out since New Years Day. The Bulls front man played in a friendly against Team Bath but boss Graham Turner says tomorrows match could be too soon for the 32 year old.

A win for United would make up ground on the top two as MK Dons and Peterborough played out a 1-1 draw at the MK Stadium, much to the delight of Turner’s men.

Hereford now sit six points behind both teams at the top of the league, but have two games in hand on second place Peterborough, and one on Paul Ince’s table toppers MK Dons.

Bury defender Dave Challinor misses out with a knee injury and striker Andy Mangan is doubtful with a hamstring strain. Goalkeeper Darren Randolph and midfielder David Buchanan are available ahead of international duty next week.
