The Bulls entertain Brighton in a League One match at Edgar Street on Saturday.
The two sides met in October at the Withdean Stadium, sharing a goalless draw to earn the Bulls' first away point. Previously the Seagulls have not won at Edgar Street since their first visit - a 1970 FA Cup match - including their last visit which was another FA Cup match that saw current Bulls physio Jamie Pitman help the Bulls to a 2-1 win thanks to a Neil Grayson double.
The Bulls have had a surprise break which will have given time for new signings Peter Gulacsi and Febian Brandy to familiarise themselves with surroundings. Graham Turner's only dilemma, barring injuries, is which of the six loanees will not make the final sixteen. The last time the Bulls had a match postponed they gave a debut to an on-loan Man Utd youngster in the following game and slammed five past Oldham. No pressure, lads.
The Seagulls' pre-season hopes of a play-off run under fans' favourite Micky Adams have all but disappeared. Last season's seventh place cost Dean Wilkins his job and Adams was expected to take them higher, but they sit just two points clear of the drop zone. January's window has seen two Championship midfielders, a £150,000 full back, and a small fee for Oldham striker Craig Davies in the hope of rewinding their form back to last season.
Hereford United vs Brighton and Hove Albion, Edgar Street, Saturday 7th February, 3.00pm.
