Broadhurst likely to miss Bradford Match

Hereford United captain, Karl Broadhurst, is expected to miss Saturday's Match at Bradford unless he recover from a bout of flu and as reported earlier Luke Webb will also take no part as he has a recurrence of an ankle injury.

As for Bradford, midfielder Paul Evans misses out as he serves a one-match ban.

Meanwhile manager Graham Turner has said that he thinks he team will enjoy playing in front of a big crowd. Yesterday over 15,000 watched as Bradford defeated Lincoln but that gate was swelled by supporters remembering the last time the two clubs met in 1985 when fire broke out at the stadium with horrible consequences.

"I think professional footballers enjoy playing in a good atmosphere and in front of a crowd. Going to Bradford, who are a big club by League Two standards, presents us with a challenge," Turner told the Worcester News.

"They had around 15,000 there on Boxing Day. It's a terrific advantage to get that size of crowd but we have enjoyed going to one or two of the big clubs."

Stuart McCall, the Bradford manager, wasn't too pleased with the Bantams performance yesterday.

"We got off to a great start and I thought we would go on and entertain and play with a bit of freedom - but it never came off and too many people under-performed.

"All over the pitch we didn't do enough and there was a lack of quality from back to front. Take the first and 90th minutes away from us and it was pretty poor."
