Bartlett looks forward to Cup-tie

Hereford United goalkeeper Adam Bartlett is looking forward to the Sheffield Wednesday cup-tie but realises he might be busy.

"I think the cup run has definitely been a good distraction," Bartlett told Sky.

"We are now looking forward to the fourth round because the next three games will give us a chance to impress the manager and earn a nice day out at Hillsborough.

"Sheffield have been a bit up and down, but quality wise they are a massive club in League One. Budget wise they will be paying the better wages in that division.

"But anything can happen in football. I don't want to be disrespectful towards them because they have got some good players. Hythe [Town] were a bit disrespectful to us when we played them in the first round, and they are a few divisions below us, so we won't be doing that. We will just go there and try to win the game. We have the mentality that we can go there and get something."

Bartlett was asked about the season to date and the appointment of Jamie Pitman as manager.

"There has been massive changeover at the club, with the chairman coming in and Graham Turner leaving after 15 years. That had a big impact. The turnover has been difficult, but since Jamie has come in he has brought something to the club and he is Hereford through and through. I think that is a big thing.

"It's important to recognise the importance of [assistant manager] Russell Hoult as well, because the two of them seem to work well together. Lennie Lawrence has been brought in over the last few weeks and he has added on the coaching side of things. At the minute we have a really good blend between the three and as players we are enjoying playing for them."
