The Bulls entertain Crewe at Edgar Street on Saturday still looking for their first League One points.
It's been over 14 years since the Bulls met the Railwaymen for a competitive match. On that day in January 1994 Crewe recorded their fourth straight win at Edgar Street with a 2-1. Future star Neil Lennon, who played against the Bulls for the final time in March for Wycombe, and later to be ex-Bull Darren Rowbottom scoring either side of an Andy Reece effort. Earlier that season the Bulls had been hit for six at Gresty Road as they stormed to promotion while the Bulls ended only four points off the bottom of the table.
After playing, and losing to, a trio of sides predicted for bottom half finishes the Bulls will be expected to take something from a game against one of the relegation favourites. The actions of Graham Turner in the transfer market and on the training pitch over the next few days are sure to mould the course of the season after his worst result as manager of the Bulls since a trip to Middlesboro for a League Cup game in 1996.
It used to be having spent nearly £750,000 on a trio of strikers and a winger over the summer most people would place any club as promotion candidates, but 'little Crewe' remain one of the relegation favourites despite early season form bringing two wins from four including a victory over Barnsley in the Carling Cup. Their biggest problems seems to be that they have conceded seven in three League games with a defence that has had considerably less spent on it than the forward line and that goals both ways can be expected from Crewe this season.
Hereford United vs Crewe Alexandra, Edgar Street, Saturday August 30th, 3.00pm.
