Tynan keeps his place

Scott Tynan is expected to keep his place in goal for Hereford United tomorrow at Barnet as both Wayne Brown and Glyn Thompson are doubts.

Thompson did take part in the Caersws friendly last Tuesday. He came on for ten or so minutes towards the end but didn't take any goalkicks.

Brown is said to require an X-ray (Update - X-Ray taking place today) on his groin which suggests it will be at least another week or two before he is back to full fitness.

Young keeper Karl Lewis played at Caersws and looked competent. He may be on the bench again tomorrow if Thompson is deemed not quite ready.

As regards the remainder of the squad, captain Tamika Mkandawire is a doubt after coming off at Caersws will a slight hamstring strain. Graham Turner may not want to risk him tomorrow to ensure he is fit for the visit of Coventry on Tuesday. Dean Beckwith and Phil Gulliver combined quite well last Saturday against Chester in Mkanawire's absence.

With Alex Jeannin available after his suspension Turner has a straight choice betwen the Frechman and Welshman, Martyn Giles, for the left back position. Giles has fitted in well and may get the nod over Jeannin.

Non-contract signing Simon Osborn is expected to take some part in the game. Turner suggested yesterday that he was quite impressed with Osborn at Caersws and may want to bring him on during the second-half to see how he performs against better opposition.

Probable starting XI: Tynan, Travis, Gulliver, Beckwith, Giles, Purdie, Rose, Ferrell, Williams, Fleetwood, Sills.

Subs: Lewis, Osborn, Jeannin, Connell, Wallis.
