Defenders will be perfect against Hereford says Backe

Notts County may only have two fit centre-backs fit for this afternoon's League Two match at Edgar Street but manager Hans Backe feels they will be able to cope with the Hereford attack.

"Graeme Lee and Mike Edwards have a chance to do a perfect job, they have been solid when they have played together," said Backe.

"They are rather the same characters as centre-backs, they are strong players and good tacklers.

"They will be perfect against a team like Hereford.

"They have a strong physical style and the pitch will probably not be the best, but we have to cope."

Backe's comments about the pitch may be mis-guided. There has been very little rain at Edgar Street in the last 24 hours and conditions are expected to be dry for most of today.
