Preview: Bulls vs Notts County

The Bulls entertain Notts County on New Years Day in a League Two encounter at Edgar Street.

The Bulls are three for three in matches against the Magpies since their return to the League. In October, the Bulls triumphed 3-2 at Meadow Lane with a Steve Guinan brace and a goal from Ben Smith enough to overcome the home side.

Since then they've had a change in management, with Ian 'Charlie' McParland replacing Steve Thompson. However the change has not brought about an improvement in results, with McParland winning only four of 13 games in charge leaving the Magpies just four places off the bottom of the table when they were predicted as play-off contenders pre-season. They have lost their last two matches, against contenders MK Dons and Rotherham, winning only one of the last eight.

The Bulls will be looking for a vast improvement on their last Edgar Street outing. That 3-0 drubbing by Morecambe earned the Shrimps a Performance of the Week award, but it has triggered back-to-back away wins for the Bulls and a good display will be expected by what should be a bumper crowd. Theo Robinson has scored in six of the last seven games, but is yet to score twice in a game for the Bulls.

Hereford United vs Notts County, Edgar Street, Tuesday 1st January, 3.00pm.
