Mkandawire to miss Chester game

UPDATED 1pm: Hereford United's captain Tamika Mkandawire will the game against Chester City on February 10th as he has reached five yellow cards. (We originally reported he would miss the Stockport game next Saturday but the FA has said the suspension will be a week later)

Mkandawire was carded for unsporting behaviour last night at Gigg Lane. No other Hereford players were booked.

There is also confusion over who scored the goals last night. Guinan's shot which led to Hereford's first goal was credited to Bury's Adams. Some thought Smith had got a touch to it.

Bury's second goal was credited to Hurst although some sources suggested Simon Travis might have helped it on its way. From behind the goal it did look as though Travis had got an unfortunate touch to it but the ball might have already been over the line.

The stats show that Hereford and Bury both had seven shots on target and that it was a very clean game with just ten fouls, six against Hereford and four against Bury.

Ben Smith was awarded an eight with Connell, Guinan, Jennings, Purdie and Mkandawire given a seven each.

However Bury had 56% of possession against 44% for Hereford. Much of that figure came as a result of the poor display by Hereford in the first half.
