Ipoua expected to start on Monday

Whatever the outcome of Guy Ipoua's red card last night, it is expected he will be able to play for Hereford United against Forest Green Rovers on Monday.

Any appeal about the card can not take place until Tuesday.

However last night could have been Darren Blewitt's last game for the Bulls. The defender came on in the second-half to replace Dean Beckwith who looked tired. Graham Turner said last Thursday that Beckwith had been ill.

Blewitt is set to return to West Ham. Sources close to the Hammers say that Turner has tried to extend the loan spell but Blewitt wants to return. He is said to want more regular football.

With James out and Beckwith under the weather, Blewitt would have probably started on Monday.

Meanwhile former Hereford United player Gavin Williams looks set to be off-loaded by West Ham. It is reported that Ipswich are to pay the Hammers £350,000 for him.

Yesterday the East Anglian Daily Times reported that Williams was expected to agree a two-and-half-year deal with Ipswich Town.

The Blues moved to secure the midfielder after impressing during a two-month loan spell and, although Williams has still to finalise personal terms, talks are expected to be completed satisfactorily today after the 25-year-old has made no secret of his desire to make the move top Portman Road a permanent one

Williams has been an ever-present in the Blues side since arriving from Upton Park, where his chances had become limited - he failed to make a Premiership appearance for them.

The Hammers wanted to recoup the £350,000 they paid to Yeovil for him last season and Town are understood to have agreed to pay in the region of that amount.
