Three players to miss Lawn game

Three regular Hereford United players are to miss Monday's game at Forest Green. Graham Turner revealed the details in his weekly interview with Trevor Owens, head of sport at BBC Hereford and Worcester. Extracts from the interview are below.

"Andy Ferrell, with a knee injury, sees a specialist. It doesn't look as though he is going to make it.

"Tony James with torn fibres of the groin muscle looks as though he will out for three or four weeks.

"So that's a blow to us, losing those two.

"Dean Beckwith is suspended, so it gives an opportunity for Darren Blewitt to come back into the side."

On the brighter side Turner spoke of the return of confidence to player in particular Adam Stansfield.

"Stansfield, for instance, coming back into the side. Scored against York, scored against Bognor, and again against Scunthorpe. So his confidence should be going upwards and he is getting better with each game that goes by."

Turner revealed that his watched Forest Green recently when they defeated Burton recently.

"I thought they played very well that night. Very spirited performance. Got a lot of size in the side, physical presence and they've also got a lot of experience in the team.

"And I don't expect for one minute that we will go there and have an easy ride.

"I expect a very difficult game at Forest Green. They're fighting for survival again."
