Playing Kington game would help suspension position

Hereford United may give consideration to playing the outstanding Kington game this week after Daniel Carey-Bertram was sent off in the Bulls 4-0 win against Northwich this afternoon.

The young striker committed an identical offence as loanee Leroy Williams did at Farnborough last Friday. He may have been provoked by Northwich's McCarthy, but the assistant referee spotted the headbutt and after consultation the Referee had little option other than to send Carey-Bertram off.

The Cup game would count in getting suspensions over one game quicker. Without it being played Hereford United will be without two strikers for the Stevenage and Carlisle games and just Carey-Bertram for the home game against York.

Jamie Pitmam was reluctant to discuss the sending off when interviewed after the game on BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"They're both young lads and they have got to learn. You just can't do those types of things and it's really put a dampener on the two performances because now we have lost both of them for three games.

"They have got to learn by their mistakes and hopefully they will come back better. We need those players within and weekout.

"In the last few games Danny has been excellent. He's obviously disappointed himself. We are going to miss him.

"With the run in we've got we need every player we can."
