Valentine to miss Oxford Match

Hereford United defender Ryan Valentine is expected to miss tomorrow's match against Oxford United as he has a sickness bug.

Others expected to miss the game are Dan Connor with a hip injury and Michael Townsend with a knee problem. Dominik Werling is also an injury doubt with a hand injury.

Manager Simon Davey has spoken about the game.

"Oxford at home will be a good atmosphere and we are back on our own ground," said Davey as reported by the Worcester News.

"We need to get a goal and a positive result. It would have been nice to play in mid-week and exorcise the demons of last weekend but we have been working hard in training and are raring to go.

"There will be changes in personnel, enforced with the injury and illness situation but also because of the performance.

"They will bring over 1,000 people. It will be a decent crowd and we must start on the front foot, take the game to them and play at a high tempo."
