Ipoua to do Mills' job

In an interview in yesterday's Worcester News, John Trewick, the Hereford United coach, said that competition for places in the squad will be fierce.

"We've got a good set of strikers and there is possibly room for another. I think competition is going to be fierce with the strikers we have brought to the club.

"Graham Evans comes with a good goal-scoring pedigree. He scored a lot of goals in the League of Wales and I'm sure he can re-produce that here.

"We've got Guy Ipoua who is more of a replacement for Lee Mills. He's got good physique and good presence, with a lot of experience. I think we needed that type of player.

"We've brought in some very good players throughout the squad. There is good strength in depth.

"We need a squad that is capable of competing right throughtout the season, first of all in the main competition, the Conference, but also if we have a run in the FA Cup, FA Trophy or the LDV Trophy. We will need a big squad to cope with that."

With the first game against Scarborough next Saturday, Trewick spoke about the first month.

"It would be ideal to get off to a good start, but we won't be taking those first couple of games in isolation.

"Looking at the first six games, we will sit down and look to see what a reasonable points tally we would expect from them."
