Wycombe's Waddock Wary of Bulls

Hereford United may be bottom of League Two but Wycombe Wanderers manager Gary Waddock feels they must not be under-estimated. The two clubs are due to meet at Adams Park on Boxing Day.

"They are bottom of the table but people will be surprised how well they have performed," Waddock told the Buckingham Examiner.

"We will not underestimate them at all and the reports I have had say they are playing better than their league position suggests.

"They are down there and looking to claw themselves up to safety and that makes it a tough game. They will fight for everything."

Waddock has noted that the Bulls have won three matches away from home.

"Maybe they relax more away from home and the expectation is not so great and that has helped them get results.

"It will important to start with a high tempo and to cause them problems early to put them on the back foot."

Meanwhile Hereford United manager Jamie Pitman has said that preparing for matches isn't easy at present with pitches frozen.

"We just have to get on with things as best we can in the knowledge that everyone else is in the same boat," said Pitman as reported by the Worcester News.

"When we finally get the chance to get back out on the pitch, we have to hope the players will be champing at the bit to get back into the action.

"We have been told to prepare as normal for the game at Wycombe on Boxing Day as, because Wasps play at Adams Park, they have undersoil heating there.

"Of course, getting there is another matter and, when people’s lives are at risk travelling, then the authorities will have to take everything into account.

"At the best of times, Christmas is a difficult period for footballers but you have to rely on them being professional and taking care of themselves."
