Taylor ready for Walsall

Hereford United's Kris Taylor has spoken of his hope that the Bulls can spoil the start of the new management team, Chris Hutchings and Matin O'Connor, reign at Walsall by taking three points tomorrow. Taylor who was at Walsall for several years before moving to the Bulls keeps in touch with his old club.

"I think Martin will do well there," Taylor told the Walsall Advertiser.

"Since he's finished playing, I've played golf with him a couple of times and he talks a lot of sense about football.

"And it's great for the fans because they love him there.

"We are down there near the bottom and we need to get a result but the way it's been at Walsall they are the same.

"I was speaking to Anthony Gerrard this week and he said they desperately need a win.

"It will be my first game back there as a player so I'm looking forward to it. I don't speak to too many people there now because most of my best friends have moved on.

"I speak to Gez, but the likes of Dean Keates, Chris Westwood, Mark Wright, Danny Fox and Scott Dann have all gone elsewhere."

Taylor then commented on Hereford's recent form and 5-0 win against Oldham last Saturday.

"We have been threatening that result for a few weeks – we've been playing well but haven't taken our chances.

"We've been coming out of games saying 'how we drawn that one' or 'how have we lost that one?'

"That's been our problem for the last month or so but against Oldham everything seemed to come together."
