It will be a tough one says Turner

Aldershot Town are the visitors to Edgar Street tomorrow evening for a Conference League game, kick-off 7.45pm.

The Shots started the season with a poor run of results but then appeared to improve. However recently their form has dipped with just two points from their last five games.

Last Saturday they were held at home 1-1 by Burton Albion, and now lie 16th in the League Table.

However the Hereford United manager, Graham Turner, isn't taking anything for granted.

"It's usually a good game. I think that Aldershot have been a decent side over the last couple of seasons, but not done so well this season. Again it will be a tough one."

Aldershot have some players unlikely to feature. Midfielder Darren Barnard returns after serving a suspension but Steve Watson (head wound) and Nick Crittenden (knee) are doubtful.

Midfielder Ryan Scott definitely misses out as he is serving a one-match ban.

Hereford will miss Adam Stansfield up-front and also both Jamie Pitman and Tony James, but the squad will be bolstered by the addition of youngsters Matthew Halliday and Robbie King who joined the Bulls earlier today. Alex Jeannin is out because of suspension.

It is uncertain whether either of the two youngsters will be in tomorrow's squad as they will have had little time to get to know their team-mates. However with the loss of both Stansfield and Jeannin, Graham Turner will have to reshuffle the line-up and should neither Guy Ipoua and Danny Carey-Bertram make the squad, then the new signings could be called upon. However there seems a good chance Ipoua will make the squad. He travelled with the team to Canvey last weekend and took part in the warm-up.

Andy Williams is expected to partner Stuart Fleetwood up-front.

Likely Line-up: Brown, Green, Mkandwire, Beckwith, Travis, Purdie, Stanley, Ferrell, Nicolau, Williams, Fleetwood.

Bench: Mawson, Taylor, Ipoua, Gwynne, and possibly one of the new signings.
