Bulls will drop down the league this week

With no Conference League game for two weeks, Hereford United can only watch as they inevitably drop down the table. However with several of the top teams playing each other, some will definitely drop points.

This evening Crawley have the chance to leap-frog several sides and go to second place in the table if they can overcome Morecambe. The Sussex side have only been defeated once at home so far, but Morecambe are the away draw specialists. The Seasiders have played three less games than Crawley and are sixpoints below them. A draw is a probability and that result would suit Hereford United. The game is live on Sky.

Tomorrow there are three games to keep an eye on. Second place Accrington Stanley entertain Halifax. Stanley will be confident of a victory after their 4-1 win against Barnet on Saturday whereas Halifax were involved in a goal-less draw at
Aldershot. The report in the NLP suggested that on the evidence from the Rectory
Field neither Aldershot nor Halifax are likely to scare either Crawley, Accrington or Hereford United.

Carlisle United play Stevenage. The Cumbrians will be desperate to get back to winning ways after their weekend defeat at Dagenham, which has put them down to eighth place. Again from a Hereford point of view a draw would be helpful, but
Carlisle really have to win this game or else it will look as though they have
run out of steam.

Exeter have the easiest task with a home game against York. A win for the Grecians would put them just one point behind the Bulls. If all four home teams win Hereford United will drop to seventh position.

Meanwhile the Bulls under 18's draw 1-1 with Circenster on Saturday in their first game in the Football League Youth Alliance Merit Third Division South. For more details on this league see our article dated February 7th.
