Hereford United travel to the Abbey Stadium this evening for their first away fixture of the Conference season against Cambridge United, just relegated from the Football League. Kick off is at 8.05 p.m. because the game is being screened live on Sky Sports.
The U's found out that life in the Conference could be difficult as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of lowly Forest Green Rovers, who had been reduced to ten men. Cambridge will be wanting to put it a big performance after the opening day disappointment, especially in front of their home fans for the first time this season and with the game being live on Sky.
Rob Newman has to make one forced change to the side he named against FGR because eighteen year old defender Adam Davies is involved in the Wales under 21 international fixture. New signing Rob Duffy may feature instead.
The two sides haven't met since January 1997, when The Bulls defeated their opponents 1-0 at Abbey Road. However earlier that season Cambridge came to Edagr Street and won by the same margin.
Graham Turner has no fresh injury worries following the impressive first day victory over Scarborough. Jamie Pitman and Simon Travis remain the only players on the sidelines and it will be a few weeks before either return. It is thought that Turner will keep the faith with the side that started on Saturday.
Following the excellent display on Saturday, The Bulls will be intending to continue in the same vein of form and take all three points from Cambridge, who will also be aiming to put right the wrongs from the showing at The Lawn. It would be dissapointing to say the least if Hereford did not take anything from the game, having given themselves a great base to start from with the demolision of The Seadogs.
