Several play-off hopefuls in action tomorrow

Once again Hereford United will have to sit back tomorrow evening and wait to see how the results of several of the play-off hopefuls in the Conference will affect them.

Whatever the outcome the Bulls will have played as many as three games less than some of the other contenders. Only Carlisle will be still on 29 games played, the same as Hereford.

Top game of the evening is the Aldershot home game against Exeter. The Shots were defeated by Barnet, the leaders, at the weekend whereas the Grecians won their Trophy game at Stamford with the only goal of the match in the last minute.

Scarborough, at home, should take at least a point from Tamworth, but the Stevenage/Morecambe game is harder to call. Forest Green held Stevenage to a draw last Saturday whereas Morecambe were knocked out of the Trophy by Burton Albion.

Lastly leaders Barnet travel to York City. The home side did not have a game last weekend, but whether that will count for anything against the leaders remains to be seen.

Should results be unkind to the Bulls they could drop to eighth position but only if both Aldershot and Stevenage win their games. A draw for the Shots will keep them below the Bulls on goal difference, but a draw for Stevenage will put them one point above Hereford.
