Peters Plans Go Astray

One of the reassons behind this evening's pre-match fans forum was to give director of football Gary Peters to chance to explain his team selection to supporters.

He gave the reasons why he had dropped Nicky Featherstone altogether and relegated Harry Pell to the bench including their, in his words, inability to defend. Instead he had selected a mid-field combination of Rob Purdie and Simon Clist.

Peters pointed out that the Bulls had gone ahead in several matches recently but had failed to hold onto that lead.

However exactly the same senario occured this evening.

The Bulls, playing towards the Meadow End, took the lead through a well-worked goal and deserved to be in front at the break.

But the longer the second half went on Accrington got back into the game and it was only a matter of time before they equalised. Hereford keeper Adam Bartlett appeared to be at fault for their goal. And from that point on Accrington looked the more likely to score.

Gary Peters will have to tinker with this evening's team for the Burton match on Monday as Rob Purdie is suspended.

A couple of other points from the forum. Firstly it looks as though Dave Cornell's spell at Edgar Street is over. Peters is hoping Swansea will recall him. He also felt Cornell had a few poor games recently.

Secondly James McQuilken is expected to go out on loan.

More from the forum tomorrow.
