It looks increasingly unlikely that Joe Anysinah will return to Edgar Street this season.
The Bristol City winger came on as a sub last Saturday in the 79th minute of their game at Ashton Gate against Blackpool.
Reports suggest that he has made enough impression since his return from Hereford that manager Brian Tinnion is keen to keep him at Bristol.
Sources close to Hereford United told Bulls News that the inclusion of Brian Smikle in the team against Eastwood last Saturday was proof that Graham Turner had discounted Anysinah's return.
Although subbed early in the second half, Smikle is expected to start for the Bulls in the replay against Eastwood tomorrow evening. He looked a capable player and, given better conditions, should be a useful addition to the squad.
Meanwhile the draw for the sixth round of the FA Trophy will be made later this morning. If Hereford win tomorrow's replay the game will take place on March 12th, which will cause a postpondment of the Forest Green Rovers (NOT Crawley Town as we originally reported) game due to take place on that date.
