Purdie expected to miss Cup Replay

Hereford United's Rob Purdie is unlikely to be fit enough to play any part in tomorrow's FA Cup replay at Lincoln. He has a hamstring problem.

Other players unavailable to manager Jamie Pitman include long term absentees Dan Connor and Ryan Valentine. There are also doubts about Sean Canham and Dominic Werling. Both are reported to have knee injuries.

Meanwhile Scott Mathieson from Cheshire will referee the game.

The Bulls haven't met Mathieson this season and only once last season when he was in charge of the home game against Notts County.

To date this campaign he has been in charge of 19 games in which he has given out 50 yellow cards and just 1 red card.
