Preview: Shrewsbury vs Bulls

The Bulls travel up the A49 to face Shrewsbury Town in a League Two match on Tuesday night.

The two sides met 11 times during Graham Turner's stint at Edgar Street, with honours even at three wins apiece in the League meetings. Most notable for the Bulls was their first trip to the out-of-town stadium, when Gary Hooper's winner saw the Bulls win 2-1. Last season, Leon Constantine scored the opener for the Bulls but the Shrews won 3-1 in one of John Trewick's final games in charge.

The Shrews are the only League Two side to remain unbeaten at home. Of the nine games at the Greenhous Meadow they have won six, but have kept only two clean sheet - a feat that must have John Trewick bouncing off the walls. Former Bulls winger Lionel Ainsworth is a doubt for the game, but he is yet to find the form he showed for Turner at the Bulls with just two goals from 13 games so far. Striker Jake Robinson, a failure under Paul Simpson last term, has nine goals so far this season.

The Bulls hope to have several faces back in contention for the trip up the A49. While Ryan Valentine may find Tuesday comes too soon, Guillem Bauza is likely to find his way back onto the bench at least after missing three weeks of action. Rob Purdie will also hope to be back in action, but James McQuilkin will miss out again. Jamie Pitman has already joked about getting into the wrong dugout with the backroom trio of Turner, Trewick, and Tony Ford in the opposition dugout, but he will be eager to demonstrate what he has learned with a victory over the old master.

Shrewsbury Town vs Hereford United, Greenhous Meadow, Tuesday 23rd November, 7.45pm.
