Addison backs Bulls to defeat Hartlepool

Former Hereford United manager Colin Addison has told BBC Hereford and Worcester that he is backing the Bulls to defeat Hartlepool United in the second round FA Cup-tie at Edgar Street on Saturday. He says he has been impressed with the Bulls this season especially against Leeds United.

"Had one or two great chances, didn't take them. Replay at Leeds were the better side I thought and had the better opportunities. Won the game deservedly so 1-0.

"I would have thought they will start favourites at Edgar Street on Saturday."

For Rob Elmes, whose header for Hereford knocked out Hartlepool out of the FA Cup back in 1999, the meeting of the two clubs brings back memories.

"It was not a picture book goal but it was the most important goal I ever scored," Elmes told the Hereford Times.

"I hope that Hereford can win again."

Currently SkyBet are offering the following:

Hereford 6/4 Draw 11/5 Hartlepool 6/4

Meanwhile Richard Dryden was appointed manager of Worcester City last night. Up to last January he had been asssistant manager at Tamworth following a long career on the pitch which started at Bristol Rovers in 1986.
