Hereford United Football Club are an English football club based in the city of Hereford. They were founded in 1924 and currently play in League Two, the fourth tier of English football. Originally elected to the Football League in 1972 and reaching the old Second Division by 1976, the club spent the majority of their first League spell in the bottom division. They were relegated to the Conference on the final day of the 1996-97 season, but regained their Football League status at the end of the 2005-06 season after winning the 2006 Conference Playoff Final.[1]
Hereford have won relatively few honours in their history, with the 1976 Third Division Championship and the 1990 Welsh Cup among them. They became synonymous with giant-killing in the FA Cup after their memorable defeat of Newcastle United, in the 1971-72 FA Cup whilst still a Southern League team. They are nicknamed 'The Whites' and the 'The Bulls', after the local breed of cattle; and they have played their home matches at Edgar Street since their founding.
Graham Turner, currently the second longest-serving manager in the top four divisions of English football, has managed the club since 1995. He became chairman during the 1997-98 season and has held this dual-role ever since, steering the club away from near-extinction and back into the Football League.
History:
Hereford United was formed from the amalgamation of two local amateur clubs St Martins and RAOC (Rotherwas) in 1924; relatively late in comparison to many other clubs. Prior to 1924 the leading club in the area was Hereford City, with whom the newly formed Hereford United ground-shared in their early years. They entered the now defunct Birmingham Combination and their first match, on 30 August 1924, was a 3-2 home defeat to Atherstone United.
Their first four seasons saw many high-scoring games which was typical of the times, with attendances occasionally reaching the 3,000 mark. They then joined the Birmingham League for the 1928-29 season, after an unsuccessful application the year before. Notable early events included the sale of Bert Trentham to West Brom for £500, who went on to win the FA Cup and promotion to the First Division the following season. Hereford appointed a player-manager for the first time in 1930-31, in the shape of Alf Basnett who had spent several seasons in the First Division with Burnley. Two seasons later they reached the FA Cup First Round for the first time in their brief history, losing 2-1 to Accrington Stanley of the Third Division (North).
By 1939 the quality of opposition in the Birmingham League was greatly reduced as more clubs joined higher leagues, and attendances had dropped to an all-time low. Hereford successfully applied to join the Southern League for the 1939-40 season, following the example of local rivals Worcester City. In the process the club became a limited company, and the club also signed former Derby County and England international Eric Keen. However footballing matters were subsequently halted due to the outbreak of the Second World War.
In 1945-46 Hereford finished first in the Southern League but were demoted to second, after Chelmsford City were controversially awarded the title on the basis of points being awarded for fixtures they had failed to complete. In November 1952 Hereford v Leyton was chosen as BBC TV's first ever live-broadcast FA Cup match. In their 26 season stay in the Southern League, Hereford finished as runners-up on three occasions and won their regional division in 1959. They were also relegated in 1964, their lowest finishing position but bounced back a season later. The club also enjoyed some success by winning the Southern League Cup three times. In 1953-54 Hereford played Wigan Athletic in front of 24,526, which remains the record attendance for a match between two non-league clubs. Other highlights included equalling the record win by a non-league club over a league club, when they beat Queens Park Rangers 6-1 in the 1957-58 FA Cup Second Round. In the following round the attendance record at Edgar Street was set, with 18,114 seeing Sheffield Wednesday win 3-0.
John Charles, the former Wales, Leeds United and Juventus centre-forward, was signed in 1966 and later appointed as player-manager in 1967. His presence boosted attendances substantially, particularly for his debut match where he scored in a 5-1 win over Bedford Town. The Gentle Giant played a key role in Hereford's eventual rise into the Football League, building a team that became a force in the Southern League. His standing in the game was also used to canvass votes from clubs for election into the Football League.
The 1971-72 season saw the club finally gain election to the Football League. Charles had resigned in October 1971 and Colin Addison took his place, inheriting a team which also went on to defeat Newcastle United in arguably the greatest FA Cup shock of all time.[11] (see also Hereford United v Newcastle United 1972). Success followed in the Fourth Division when Hereford finished as runners-up in their first ever season in the Football League. Their rise continued in 1975-76 when they won the Third Division championship with Dixie McNeil being the top goalscorer in the entire Football League in the process.
However Hereford were to spend just one season in the Second Division, finishing bottom, although they nearly survived due to a late season renaissance. This earned them the distinction of being the first club to finish bottom of the Second Division, after winning the Third Division the previous season. They suffered another relegation the following season and were back in the Fourth Division where they were to remain for 19 years. There were many mediocre seasons with the club finishing in 17th position in five successive seasons during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The Merton Stand, before the kickoff against Stockport County on 3 February 2007, viewed from the Len Weston Stand.In 1990 Hereford won the Welsh Cup, defeating Wrexham 2-1 at Cardiff Arms Park, and reached the playoffs in the 1995-96 season, rising from 17th to 6th position in two months. They were beaten by Darlington and the following season saw the club struggle due to major financial problems which forced the sale of several key players. Brighton & Hove Albion were also experiencing similar difficulties and the two clubs met in a relegation decider at Edgar Street, on the final day of the season. With the clubs level on points, and the goals-scored rule in operation, Hereford needed to win to stay up while Brighton only needed a draw. Hereford were 1-0 up but Brighton equalised against the run of play and Hereford were relegated to the Conference after 25 years in the Football League.
Hereford's financial problems worsened in the 1997-98 season when two loans were secured by the board, which created a £1 million debt. The lease on Edgar Street was also handed over to developers, who had supplied the loans. Graham Turner, who had been appointed manager in 1995, purchased the majority shares in the club therefore becoming both chairman and manager. In the early years in the Conference there was little success, with three FA Cup runs in 1997-98, 1999-00 and 2001-02 being the highlights. The revenue gained from the cup runs was crucial to the club's survival, with a 1-0 win over Dover Athletic in 2001 identified as being the difference between survival and bankruptcy.
Hereford turned the corner in 2003-04 when they enjoyed a highly successful season on the pitch, coming to within one point of the Conference championship. They set the record for away goals scored (61), and equalled the records for goals scored (103) and consecutive wins (11). The highlight of the season was the 9-0 defeat of Dagenham & Redbridge live on Sky Sports, which equalled the record Conference win set by both Runcorn and Gateshead. Ultimately Hereford were to lose in the playoffs on penalties to Aldershot Town, after playing with 10 men for 100 minutes.
2004-05 saw the club again finish second and again lose in the playoffs, this time to Stevenage Borough. They finished as runners-up for the third season in succession in 2005-06 and finally regained their league status, after defeating Halifax Town 3-2 in the 2006 Playoff Final.
The club's first season back in the Football League saw them finish in 16th position, recording league wins over five of the top eight clubs. In particular the away wins at Swindon Town and Lincoln City have been cited by supporters as the highlights. In the cup competitions Championship side Coventry City were defeated in the Carling Cup, and League One side Port Vale in the FA Cup. The club also paid a transfer fee for the first time in 10 years when Ben Smith rejoined the club for £20,000. Steve Guinan, another favourite from the Conference years, also returned on loan and subsequently signed permanently in the summer of 2007.
Colours and crest
Hereford players sporting the away kit at Notts CountyHereford originally played in an all-white strip, but their traditional colours are white shirts and black shorts. This dates back to the end of the Second World War when they used material from blackout curtains to make shorts when they ran out of white material. However they have occasionally reverted to an all-white strip, most recently in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons. Their away colours have varied over the years, with predominantly yellow colours being used in recent years. Hereford's kit is currently manufactured by Nike and the shirt sponsors are Sun Valley Foods; one of the city's biggest employers who have backed the club since 1991. A new three year deal was agreed in May 2007 which has extended the sponsorship to 19 years, one of the longest in British football history.
Prior to 1971 the club played in plain shirts with no crest. A depiction of a Herefordshire Bull was introduced for the 1971-72 season with H.U.F.C. lettering underneath. A supporter's club crest was also used during the 1970s. The shirt crest design has changed several times over the years, with the full club name being added above and below the Bull, which has remained largely untouched. The current crest was introduced in the early 1990s but was not featured on the shirts until 2003.
Stadium
Hereford United have played their home matches at Edgar Street since their formation in 1924. Originally they ground-shared with amateurs Hereford City and the ground is owned by Hereford City Council. Although now showing its age, the ground's history does have some notable landmarks; Hereford installed floodlights in March 1953, before such clubs as Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United !. In 1974 the ground was the only one outside the First Division with two cantilever-roof stands. In those days the ground's official name was Edgar Street Athletic Stadium; there was a running track around the pitch. This explains the curious curved "dead" areas behind each goal and in front of the terraces, and the extreme width of the pitch where the old track was turfed over to produce one of the League's widest pitches. In far more recent years the ground has been central to Hereford's financial troubles, with the previous owners of the club handing the leases over to a development company to whom they owed a large debt. During the club's time in the Conference there were real doubts over the future of the ground, and the club could have been forced to relocate. However an arrangement was made between the club and the developers, and the ground is now part of a substantial redevelopment plan in Hereford, known as the Edgar Street Grid.
The ground itself has changed little since the mid 1970s, and is largely outdated and in need of urgent upgrading. In particular the Blackfriars Street End has fallen into a state of disrepair in recent years, which has in turn reduced the capacity of the ground. Improvements have been made in recent years to ensure the ground met Football League standards; including new floodlights, dressing rooms and barriers on the terraces. The pitch itself has also been completely relaid for the new season. The club are looking to submit the redevelopment plans to the council by the end of the year, with the developers absorbing the £1 million debt into the development costs.

Support
Hereford United was historically one of the best-supported clubs in non-league football, particularly in the last two seasons before their election to the Football League. Indeed in their campaign for election they produced a newsletter which highlighted the fact that their average attendance (5,224) was higher than those of eight Third Division clubs, and fifteen Fourth Division clubs. Between 1972 and 1977, during the club's rise to the Second Division, home attendances averaged almost 8,000 per game. The support fell during the 1980s with the average home attendance under 3,000, the exception being the 1984-85 season when the club finished fifth.
It was not until the latter Conference years that attendances improved, with the 2003-04 season seeing the average home attendance rise to 3,704. The following season saw the figure drop to just over 3,000 while in the 2005-06 season, despite the club successfully gaining promotion, the figure was 2,791. However approximately 10,000 Hereford supporters attended the Conference Playoff Final. For the 2006-07 season the club had an average home league attendance of 3,327. With the exception of 2003-04, this is the highest average attendance since the 1984-85 season (3,881).
The club's official programme is Bullseye and there is also a fanzine called Talking Bull.
Home attendances
The club has rarely enjoyed capacity crowds at Edgar Street in recent years, having last seen a five-figure home attendance in 1990. Below is a list of the highest attendances at Edgar Street since 1972.
17,431 – Bristol City, FA Cup Fourth Round, 26 January 1974.
15,777 – Arsenal, FA Cup Third Round, 5 January 1985.
14,849 – Newport County, Fourth Division, 7 April 1973.
13,891 – Wolverhampton Wanderers, Second Division, 2 October 1976.
13,777 – Manchester United, FA Cup Fourth Round, 28 January 1990.
Since the reduction of the Edgar Street capacity in line with the Taylor Report the highest home attendance has been 8,953 in 1994 - a Coca Cola Cup Second Round match against Nottingham Forest. The highest league home attendance was 8,532 in 1997 - the relegation decider against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Club anthem
The club's official anthem is Hereford United (We All Love You) which was written and performed by the late Danny Lee, a notable supporter of the club. Originally recorded and released in 1972, the same year as the famous FA Cup run, a rendition is usually sung at every Hereford match both home and away. The song has been remixed three times: in 1979, 2002 and 2006.
Rivals
Hereford have had a number of rivalries with other clubs throughout their history. In the club's Southern League era Worcester City were considered their fiercest rivals. Both Cardiff City and Newport County were considered rivals in the 1970s and 1980s. In the recent Conference era the club's rivals included Kidderminster Harriers, Cheltenham Town and Shrewsbury Town; the latter being considered the club's biggest rivals at present. Forest Green Rovers also count Hereford as rivals.

Watford loanees cup-tied?
(http://www.hereford.vitalfootball.co.uk/resource/teams/hereford/316_b.jpg)
Hereford United supporters will be biting their nails a little closer to the quick over the next few days, as they await official confirmation from the club regarding the availability of the Watford pair Toumani Diagouraga and Theo Robinson (pictured) for their attractive looking FA Cup tie with Leeds United.
Both players have been highly instrumental in the Bulls' fine start to the season, and it is hoped Watford do not enforce a 'cup-tied' ruling.
Aidy Boothroyd's side are flying in the Championship so it could be argued the players would be better off getting as much competitive, first team football as possible.
However, if Diagouraga and Robinson are ruled out by the Hornets, it could stretch Hereford's squad to the limit.
Mind you with Watford currently sitting at the top of their division - some five points clear of Bristol City in second place - surely Graham Turner can persuade his opposite number that the players immediate future will be best served at Edgar Street.
Indeed, looking further ahead, perhaps now is the time for the club to place an initial 'transfer' offer on the table to take the pair permanently, or alternatively open negotiations to extend the players loan periods right to the end of the season!

Trewick eyeing Leeds pay-day
Hereford first-team coach John Trewick is eagerly anticipating the FA Cup first-round clash with high-profile League One opposition Leeds.
Dennis Wise's team travel to Edgar Street on November 9 and the match will be televised live on Sky - a welcome financial boost for the League Two side.
A full house is expected for the all-ticket affair and Trewick is glad to be facing such big-name opposition, and he told the club's official website: "Leeds are probably the biggest draw that was on offer and it is a mouth-watering prospect.
"Obviously we would have wanted an easier draw but this is a tie the fans can really look forward to.
"The icing on the cake is the Sky coverage which, financially, is good news for us."

Turner expecting a sell-out
(http://www.hereford.vitalfootball.co.uk/resource/teams/hereford/107_b.jpg)
With just 7,700 tickets available for next weeks eagerly anticipated FA Cup clash with Leeds United, the Bulls boss Graham Turner was hardly surprised to see queues outside the ticket office this afternoon.
Season-ticket holders had the first opportunity of getting their hands on their precious tickets from 12 noon today, and with a capacity crowd expected, many wished to claim their favourite seats.
The Hereford boss confirmed that season ticket holders have until 4pm on Friday to collect their allocated tickets, whilst membership card holders can claim theirs from nine o'clock on Friday morning until 2:30 pm this coming Saturday.
Tickets are priced at £20 for seats and £15 for terrace tickets.
This is the first time for many years that the club has issued cup vouchers, such is the expected demand for tickets, and this is something Graham Turner was pleased to introduce - as he explained in an interview with the club's official website.
'We have to satisfy our good supporters - which are the season ticket holders first and foremost - so they've got first opportunity to buy tickets. Not only one for their own season ticket book, but we've decided to offer them the option of a second ticket.
'Then we've got the membership holders as our next priority as we want to make sure they've got a ticket.
'And then the voucher system.
'Good supporters will be here against Darlington on Saturday, so if we increase the gate that will be fine, but we've got to make sure that those who aren't season ticket holders, and haven't got a membership card but turn up week-in-week-out do get the opportunity for some priority towards getting a ticket.
'After that they will go on general sale.
'I think it will be a full house, and we are now waiting to see what space the cameras require. That may take 20 or 30 seats here, and there. They'll also probably want to build a studio behind the Blackfriars Street goal. This will all take a few off our overall ground capacity.
'So, there are plenty of logistical issues to sort out with Sky television before we fix the actual match capacity. But we've got to send Leeds their tickets fairly quickly so they can go on sale there.
'We've organised opening times after the match on Saturday so it'll be as convenient as possible for supporters to get their tickets. If they can't get them on Saturday, then they can obviously collect them on Tuesday when we play Mansfield.
'We've got over 1,000 season ticket holders, so they can purchase one for themselves, and maybe an extra one - so there's 2,000. Plus I believe we have around 400 members, so that means around 2,500 tickets will be allocated there.
'Our capacity is now around the 7,700 mark and I think Leeds will take around 2,000 to 2,500 of that.
'So, we should have around 2,000 to 2,700 available for general sale.
'Hopefully that's enough to go around!'

Turner savours Leeds challenge
Speaking to the club's official website, the Hereford United manager Graham Turner has expressed his delight over the FA Cup 1st Round draw, which sees the Bulls up against the once mighty Leeds United.
(http://www.hereford.vitalfootball.co.uk/resource/teams/hereford/102_b.jpg)
The match will take place on Friday, 9th November with a 7:45 kick-off and will be broadcast live across Europe and beyond via Sky Television.
Turner revealed a preference for evening fixtures. Especially for a game of this magnitude:
'I think it's always been a bit special to play under lights.
'We've always performed that much better, and with the presence of cameras and the atmosphere from the crowd I think it's what the magic of the FA Cup is all about.
'I don't care that we've got Leeds in the 1st Round. My initial wish was for the smallest club in the competition at home, but we've actually got the biggest club at this stage!
'It just couldn't get any better.
'Leeds are a club that were playing in the Champions League five or six years or so ago - they were in the semi-final in fact, and so to draw them out of the hat brings you all the best feelings and emotions.
'It's what the FA Cup is all about.
'We hope it'll be a good night, and we hope to give our supporters a lot to savour for many years to come!'
Turner gave an update on the loan players eligibility for the FA Cup tie, and indicated that Watford have yet to clarify whether Toumani Diagouraga and Theo Robinson will be available for selection, but Liverpool have confirmed that Robbie Threlfall can play.

Denne kampen krasjer med konserten til Kaizer Chiefs, det er mulig vi får med oss første omgang. Eller noen som skal på konserten tar kontakt med Kaizer Chiefs å spør om de kan se kampen sammen med oss slik at det oppvarmingsbandet de skal ha kan spille til kampen er over.
Jaja blir jo helt sikkert ikke å skje. Hadde æ visst dette her så hadde æ nok ikke betalt 750 kroner for 2 billetter til konserten.

Bulls charge in for Reds defender
Hereford have completed the signing of Liverpool defender Robbie Threlfall on an intial one-month loan to help ease their defensive crisis.
The 18-year-old has yet to play a senior competitive game for the Reds, but has been capped at England Under-19 level and was a part of the FA Youth Cup winning sides of 2006 and 2007.
He is predominantly a left-back, but can also be deployed in central defence or on the left-wing.
Hereford have confirmed that Threlfall will be eligible to play for the Bulls in their FA Cup first round tie against Leeds on November 9.
Manager Graham Turner moved to sign the defender on loan after first-choice central defenders Dean Beckwith and Karl Broadhurst were sidelined due to injury and suspension respectively.

Leeds FA Cup tie brings financial boost for Bulls
HEREFORD United look set for a massive cash bonus after being paired with Yorkshire giants Leeds United in the first round of the FA Cup.
The tie, which will be staged at Edgar Street on Friday, November 9, kick-off 7.45pm, has already been earmarked for Sky TV coverage, earning both clubs a payment of £75,000, and the prospect of a capacity crowd raises the financial stakes even higher.
"We expect to make a six-figure sum," said Bulls chairman and director of football Graham Turner.
"There has been lots of interest and BBC Radio 5 Live will be taking commentary on at least part of the game."
Leeds, who just six years ago were semi-finalists in the Champions League, are making their first ever appearance in the FA Cup's first round and the clamour for tickets began with season ticket holders queuing outside Edgar Street yesterday (Wednesday) to make sure of their places.
Season ticket holders have until Friday at 4pm to claim their tickets while membership card holders can obtain their ticket from 9am on Friday until 2.30pm on Saturday.
Vouchers will be issued at Saturday's Coca Cola League 2 clash with Darlington and voucher holders can obtain their tickets from 5pm on the same day.
All remaining tickets will go on sale on Monday lunchtime.
Ground capacity has been set at 7,700 with just over 2,000 tickets going to Leeds who have been allocated the entire Blackfriars Street End and the area under the Floors 2 Go stand at the Blackfriars End.
Tickets are priced at £20 for seating and £15 for terracing.
Turner is, meanwhile, working to ensure that Watford on-loan duo Toumani Diagouraga and Theo Robinson, who have both played key roles in United's success this season, will be allowed to play by their parent club.
"They would be devastated if they were not allowed to play," he said.
Turner has added another loan player to his squad by adding Liverpool teenager Robbie Threlfall to the Edgar Street ranks for a month.
"We tried to sign him during the summer but then he was chosen to go on Liverpool's tour to Hong Kong where he played for 30 minutes in the first-team against South China," said Turner.
Eighteen-year-old Threlfall, an England under-19 international, is principally a left-back who can also play at centre-back.
He will act as cover for the injured Dean Beckwith and for Karl Broadhurst, who is suspended for the Darlington match.
Steve Guinan is suspended for the next two games, too, while full-back Trent McClenahan will also be absent from Edgar Street on international duty later this month.
"It is most important that the players keep their feet on the ground," said Turner. "We have two important games - at home to Darlington on Saturday and then with Mansfield on Tuesday evening - with six points at stake.
"The message to the players is to get those league games out of the way first and then they can think about enjoying themselves against Leeds."

Kamp 3/11:
Hereford v Darlington
Loan defender Robbie Threlfall is set to make his Hereford debut after arriving on an initial one month's loan from Liverpool.
Striker Steve Guinan is out as he serves the second game of a three-match suspension and centre-back Karl Broadhurst is also banned after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Peterborough last weekend.
Darlington boss Dave Penney welcomes back striker Tommy Wright after suspension and Julian Joachim could also feature after his recent knee problem.
Defender Tim Ryan has recovered from a hamstring injury but David Stockdale is expected to again deputise in goal for Andy Oakes (hip).

Leeds: Countdown to the Cup
After a thirteen match unbeaten run, Leeds United suffered their first defeat in the league yesterday, falling to a 3-1 reverse at Brunton Park against Carlisle United.
Indeed, their manager Dennis Wise seems somewhat upset by what he described as poor defending - especially from set plays.
Whether a Hereford United side at the top of their form will be able to exploit this apparent weakness, we will have to wait and see.
Wise saw his side grab a 28th minute lead when Jermaine Beckford (pictured) snatched his eighth goal of the campaign, but Carlisle were a rejuvenated side after the break, capitalising on some inexplicable Leeds defensive howlers.
Leeds visit Dean Court for another League One fixture on Tuesday, and Wise told the Bradford Telegraph & Argus he wants to put things right straightaway:
'There is a lot to think about and look at before we take on Bournemouth.
'I was disappointed that we conceded three goals from set plays, because that is something we don't expect, but full credit to the lads - one defeat in 14 is a fantastic achievement and we have to try and get another run going as soon as possible.
'It is good that we have a game straightaway because we need to start performing again and not making those mistakes.
'You don't want to be waiting a week for the next game. You want to get the horrible things out of the way as soon as possible.
'Bournemouth will be difficult but we will pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and do what we were doing in the 13 games before Saturday.'
Hereford United entertain Mansfield Town on the same night, and will be looking to maintain the superb form they showed against the Stags.
Mansfield have yet to win away from home this season, but under boss Billy Dearden their record has improved, so despite having one eye on the Leeds result at Bournemouth, United's players must remain focused.

Hereford v Leeds: Sell-out
(http://www.hereford.vitalfootball.co.uk/resource/teams/hereford/237_b.jpg)
The interest in the Bulls upcoming FA Cup First Round clash with Leeds United is such that 'sold-out' signs have been issued for all 'home' sections of the Edgar Street stadium.
It is understood Leeds have been allocated between 2,000 and 2,500 tickets for the tie, with Hereford initially offering the Yorkshire club the entire Blackfriars Street end of the ground.
Officials of both clubs are now in discussions to see if Leeds can return any unsold tickets, with a view to restoring a section of the Blackfriars Street Enclosure to Hereford supporters, providing adequate segregation can be put in place.
The current ground capacity is around the 7,700 mark.

Bulls ask Leeds for Tickets
Hereford United are hoping to 're-acquire some tickets from Leeds United who have yet to sell all of their allocation.'
The Official Website has said that the Bulls have sold out of tickets for home supporters.
If Hereford do obtain further tickets it hasn't been made clear where these might be for and how that might affect the segregation which will be needed at the game.
Leeds have the right to 15% of the tickets for the cup game which given a figure of about 7,700 as the capacity of Edgar Street equates to just under 1,200. However as Leeds were beleived to have been given tickets for the whole of the Blackfriars End and half the Len Weston Stand, the figure of 1,200 will have been exceeded.

Kamp 6/11:
Hereford - Mansfield, kl. 20.45:
Bulls unchanged for Stags clash
Hereford boss Graham Turner is likely to field an unchanged side to the one that thumped Darlington 5-1 when they take on Mansfield.
Five different Bulls players - Richard Rose, Theo Robinson, Ben Smith, Trevor Benjamin and Clint Easton - made the scoresheet at the weekend and all of them should retain their place in Turner's starting XI.
Young Liverpool loanee Robbie Threlfall will also continue at the heart of the Bulls defence after he produced an assured display in his debut but striker Steve Guinan serves the final game of his three-match suspension.
Dean Beckwith remains sidelined as he nurses a broken jaw while Karl Broadhurst could return to the first-team set-up after he completed the one-match ban he received for picking up five yellow cards last week.

Er nesten sånn at jeg krever at Da Costa skal få starte denne kampen. Cupkamp mot Hereford er perfekt for spillere som er "ute" av laget til å få sjansen til å vise seg fram for managern, og ikke minst for fansen. Tror nok noen unggutter vil få sjansen fra start også, slik som sist cupkamp. Kanskje litt tidlig for Constantine å starte, men synes det er bedre at han gjør det og kan spille til han ikke "klarer" mer, enn at han får et innhopp på 20 minutter.
Håper på dette laget:
Ankergren
Frazer - Rui - Huntington - Parker
Weston - Prutton - Howson - Da Costa
Beckford - Constantine

Jeg er enig midjo, kommer vi oss velberget til 3.runde kan vi plutselig oppleve å ha askeladdens rolle i den ordentlige cupen! Noe positivt kommer det ut av å være så langt nede i ligasystemet også!

Jeg er gal nok til å tro at Leeds har en sjanse til å nå en FA-cupfinale denne sesongen - med en heldig trekning....
Når en ser det Millwallaget Wise tok til cupfinale i 2004, synes jeg ikke dette Leedslaget virker så mye svakere.
Millwall slapp riktignok å slite seg gjennom runde 1 og 2, og hadde denne veien til finalen:
(Runde 3)
Millwall - Walsall 2 - 1
(Runde 4)
Telford United - Millwall 0 - 2
(Runde 5)
Millwall - Burnley 1 - 0
(Kvartfinale)
Millwall - Tranmere Rovers 0 - 0
(Omkamp - Kvartfinale)
Tranmere Rovers - Millwall 1 - 2
(Semifinale)
Sunderland - Millwall 0 - 1
-
Tipper at Wise bare sparer de spillerne som er småskadet, og ellers tar med seg en toppet tropp. Kamputviklingen avgjør hvor mye 2. valgene får spille.
-
Det er i alle fall på tide å prøve ut da Costa i ein førstelagskamp! Sidan forsvaret har opptredd veldig uryddig dei siste kampane, bør nok Huntington og Parker vere høgaktuelle kandidatar no. Constantine er eg usikker på. Han har vore skadd lenge, men har varma benken i to kampar no. Er han klar for 90 minutt allereie?
-
Dette er utvilsomt en kamp der Parker, Huntington og Da Costa burde få starte. Constantine bør få komme innpå de siste 20 minuttene da han sikkert er langt unna noe som kan ligne på form enda.
Ellers må ikke Wise være redd for å slippe til de unge. Hvordan ellers kan de bli gode nok å få erfaring om de ikke får spille?

Rise and fall of two clubs over the past seven seasons
WHEN Hereford United and Leeds United meet at Edgar Street in the FA Cup first round tomorrow (Friday) evening, it will be a measure of how far the respective sides have fallen and climbed inside the last seven seasons.
On May 2, 2001, Leeds, with a side featuring Nigel Martyn, Danny Mills, Rio Ferdinand, Lee Bowyer, David Batty, Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka and Alan Smith, were held 0-0 at Elland Road in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
United, on the other hand, had, the previous evening ended Yeovil Town's hopes of winning the Nationwide Conference title by winning 3-2 at Huish Park.
advertisement
Goals from Rob Elmes, John Snape and a late winner from Ian Rodgerson ensured that United would end what had been a disappointing season in 11th place in the table.
Leeds, who lost the second leg 3-0 in Valencia, went on to finish fourth in the Premiership as part of a run of five successive top-five finishes in the top flight.
Their descent began with relegation from the Premiership at the end of the 2003-4 season, followed by a further drop from the Championship at the end of last season.
This will be the Yorkshire club's first foray into the first round of the FA Cup, familiar territory for the Bulls who have figured at this stage of the competition for all but three of the last 53 seasons, twice when they failed in the qualifying competition and once when they moved automatically into the third round as a Division 2 (now Championship) club in 1976-7.

Leeds up among the game’s giants
WHILE Leeds United are not currently up among the game's Premier League giants, there is little doubt that the Yorkshire side are one of the biggest clubs ever to visit Edgar Street.
Within relatively recent memory, the Bulls have hosted Newcastle United, West Ham United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City in FA Cup ties while all were playing in the top flight of English football.
But Leeds, who have won Division 1 on three occasions - most recently in 1991-2, the FA Cup once and the Football League Cup once as well as garnering various European honours, can boast as distinguished a history as most previous visitors.
Their recent past has, however, been dogged by financial problems which have seen the Elland Road club tumble out of the Premiership, through the Championship and into League 1.
Their opening form this season, however, would appear to indicate that, under the management of Dennis Wise, they are on the way back.
Entering administration saw the Yorkshire side start the season with a 15-point penalty but that was quickly swept aside as they began the campaign with a flurry of victories which sees them currently in seventh place and on the fringe of the play-offs.
Without the penalty, they would be 10 points clear at the top of the table.
Their recent programme has been far from easy, however, with the necessity to travel from top to bottom of the country inside the last week hardly helping their cause.
Last Saturday, Leeds travelled to Carlisle where they suffered their first defeat of the season against the League 1 leaders.
Then, they had to make the long journey to Bournemouth for Tuesday night's clash with the struggling Dorset club and bounced back to form with a 3-1 success.
On the scoresheet was ex-Bournemouth player Tresor Kandol who scored twice against his former club.
Kandol is one of the few Leeds players with some experience of playing at Edgar Street, albeit very briefly.
Following his release from Bournemouth at the end of the 2001-2 season, Kandol played in a pre-season friendly for the Bulls at the start of the following campaign but interest was not pursued after he was withdrawn at half-time on his only appearance.
He went on to rebuild his career in the Conference with Thurrock and Dagenham & Redbridge before re-entering league football with Barnet.
He subsequently moved to Elland Road for a £200,00 fee and has scored eight times this season.
Leeds skipper, Alan Thompson, who will be leading the club into the FA Cup first round for the first time in their history, told the club website: "It's a tricky tie but it's one we are looking forward to.
"It'll be a tight ground and I'm sure they'll be up for it, but we'll have our usual good support behind us."
Hereford will be going into the tie on the back of two important wins.
"It was important that we got six points from six from the two league games in the last week," said Hereford director of football Graham Turner. "We can now look forward to Leeds with a bit of confidence from the two wins and a nothing-to-lose sort of attitude."
The Bulls had reported no new injury problems after Tuesday's victory over Mansfield but will not be able to call upon the services of full-back Trent McClenahan who has returned to Australia following a bereavement.
Richard Rose is likely to continue at right-back.
The Bulls will also have the option of recalling experienced striker Steve Guinan who is again available for selection after completing a three-game suspension.

Big John is a double legend
(http://images.newsquest.co.uk/image.php?id=741067&type=full)
JOHN Charles, who played a significant part in building the team which pulled off Hereford United's greatest giantkilling act against Newcastle United, can rightly be described as a legend by both Leeds and the Bulls.
Swansea-born Charles, who is regarded as the greatest ever Wales player, was signed by Leeds as a centre-half but cemented his reputation when moved into the attack.
He scored 42 goals in the 1953-4 season, scoring a then club record of 154 times in 308 matches in two spells, from 1948-57 and in 1962.
As first a player and then player-manager at Edgar Street, Charles retained his astonishing ability to find the net for United, hammering in 130 goals in 243 appearances from 1966-1971.

Wise - will make changes
WISE PLANS CHANGES
Leeds boss Dennis Wise will shuffle his pack as he plans to give several of his fringe players an opportunity in the FA Cup match at Hereford.
United will be without Radostin Kishishev as the Bulgarian midfielder continues to battle with a niggling muscle tear.
Former Celtic midfielder Alan Thompson has returned to training this week but will not make the trip to Edgar Street while Andy Hughes is also struggling with a knock and will not be risked.
That leaves the gate wide open for players such as Paul Huntington and Filipe Da Costa to make an impression on boss Wise as they seek to stake their claims for a first-team berth.
First-choice strike duo Tresor Kandol and Jermaine Beckford are likely to be rested with Leon Constantine expected to be given a rare start.
Hereford boss Graham Turner is likely to field the same side that beat Mansfield 2-1 in midweek.
Turner does have striker Steve Guinan available again after he served the last of his three-match ban during Tuesday's victory but the United boss is likely to stick with the strike pairing of Trevor Benjamin and Theo Robinson after they contributed to the Bulls scoring seven goals in their last two games.
Young Liverpool loanee Robbie Threlfall is set to continue at centre-back after impressing during his two starts but fellow defender Dean Beckwith remains sidelined with a broken jaw despite returning to light training this week.
Karl Broadhurst returned to the starting line-up against Mansfield after completing his one-match ban and is likely to continue alongside Threlfall against Dennis Wise's side.

Bassett in the hot-seat for Leeds
(http://editorial.jpress.co.uk/web/Upload/YPOS//TH1_811200749lufc.jpg)
DAVE BASSETT will be giving the orders from the touchline Friday night as Leeds United enter unknown terrority in the FA Cup.
The former Sheffield United and Wimbledon manager, who replaced Gus Poyet as Leeds' assistant-manager last week, will be thrust into the spotlight because manager Dennis Wise is serving a three match touchline ban.
Leeds are involved in the first round of the competition for the first time in 82 years, due to their League One status, and are also playing Hereford United for the first time.
League Two promotion chasers Hereford only returned to the Football League last season after a nine year absence but pulled off one of the biggest shocks in FA Cup history 35 years ago when a goal from Ronnie Radford helped beat Newcastle United at Edgar Street.
Ironically, Leeds would go on to lift the FA Cup in that 1971-72 season, beating Arsenal 1-0 in the final at Wembley.
Wise, who will keep in touch with Bassett via radio-link from the stands, admits that progress in the FA Cup this season is important to the club's finances - a draw against a Premiership club at the third round stage can bring a major cash windfall.
"It's an important cup for us, it's a money spinner," said Wise, whose side were knocked out in the third round stage by West Bromwich Albion last season. "If you get in the third round and get a big club, that's an incentive."
United captain Alan Thompson is back in contention for the trip to Hereford.
The midfielder may deputise for Andrew Hughes who is again struggling with a groin problem.
However, Leeds are still without loan signing Radostin Kishishev and veteran striker Tore Andre Flo due to injuries.
"It's an opportunity for one or two players to come in and show what they are capable of. It'll be a difficult place to go, and we're on TV. It's important we show people what we are about," added Wise.
Last six games: Hereford DDLDDW, Leeds WDWWLW.
Last time: No previous meeting
Referee: A Bates (Staffordshire)
Sky Bet odds: Hereford 4/1; Draw 12/5; Leeds 8/13.

Hereford in Bullish Mood: ‘Let Leeds worry about us’
The Hereford United management team appear confident of causing an upset as they prepare to face Leeds United in what is the Whites debut appearance in the first round of the FA Cup at Edgar Street tomorrow evening. Prior to the clash, which has been selected for live TV coverage, Bulls Head Coach John Trewick declared ‘I’m sure Leeds think they are a big club, and they fancy their chances. Let them worry about us, we’ve just got to take them on.’
Manager Graham Turner added: ‘We realize the size of the club, but we bear in mind that they are only in the first division, and we try to keep the perspective on that. If we can perform well and have a little bit of luck, then we’re capable of beating them.’
Leeds boss Dennis Wise is clearly not taking Hereford lightly. ‘Hereford will be a difficult game, we know that. It will be tough because they are going well, they won 5-1 last weekend and won again on Tuesday, and they will cause us problems. But we are looking forward to it.’ Let the battle commence.

Bulls expected to stay the same
Hereford boss Graham Turner is likely to field an unchanged side as his team prepare for Friday's FA Cup first-round clash at home to Leeds.
Turner does have striker Steve Guinan available again after he served the last of his three-match ban during Tuesday's 2-1 League Two victory over Mansfield but the United boss is likely to stick with the strike pairing of Trevor Benjamin and Theo Robinson after they contributed to the Bulls scoring seven goals in their last two games.
Young Liverpool loanee Robbie Threlfall is set to continue at centre-back after impressing during his two starts but fellow defender Dean Beckwith remains sidelined with a broken jaw despite returning to light training this week.
Karl Broadhurst returned to the starting line-up against Mansfield after completing his one-match ban and is likely to continue alongside Threlfall against Dennis Wise's side.

Dennis Wise is ready to entrust the frontline care of Leeds United to assistant boss Dave Bassett as he begins his three-match touchline suspension.
Basset watched from the stands during United's 3-1 victory over Bournemouth on Tuesday night, but the Elland Road number two is preparing to take control of the dug-out for the first time at Hereford tomorrow evening.
Wise will begin his FA punishment as Leeds launch their FA Cup campaign with a first-round tie at Edgar Street, and he will not be free to return to the touchline until United travel to Cheltenham Town on November 25.
The 40-year-old is bearing the cost of comments made to London referee Danny McDermid at half-time of September's 1-1 draw between Leeds and Gillingham, but the rapid acquisition of Bassett and first-team coach John Gannon has averted the potential personnel crisis created by ex-assistant Gustavo Poyet's departure to Spurs.
Wise's absence from the dug-out will run through only one league fixture - next weekend's clash with Swindon Town, which is also the final fame of his ban - and United's boss insisted he was passing the baton to safe a pair of hands in Bassett.
Wise said: "I slung him in the stand (against Bournemouth) and it's good to have him up there because he sometimes sees games slightly differently to me.
"I've got three matches coming up and now I'm going to be up there, so I wanted to spend a bit of time with the lads.
"We'll chop and change this year - sometimes I'll go up there and he'll come down. When you've got an older head upstairs, it
helps."
Wise is weighing up potential changes for tomorrow night's game after revealing that captain Alan Thompson is back in full training, and that he may turn to handful of the players who have so far failed to break into his regular starting side this season.
United's manager admitted midfielder Andrew Hughes, who returned from a groin strain against Carlisle on Saturday, was suffering slightly after Tuesday's victory, but Leeds appear to have avoided any new injury concerns ahead of their third match in six days.
Wise said: "Hughes is a bit sore but apart from that everyone is fine.
"Alan Thompson has trained but he has been out for quite a while I'll have to wait and see. I'll have a chat with him and see how the other lads are looking.
"There are a couple that have played a lot of games, and maybe it would do them the world of good to have a slight rest."

Bulls relish Leeds clash
Hereford v Leeds United, live on Sky Sports 1 from 7.30pm
(http://img.skysports.com/07/11/218x298/kishishev_594410.jpg)
Kishishev: Muscle strain
Hereford director of football Graham Turner insists his team have nothing to lose as they take on Leeds United in the FA Cup first round on Friday.
The Bulls created one of the great cup shocks of all time when, as a non-league club, they beat top-flight Newcastle in the third round in 1972.
The League Two side now have a chance to cause another upset against a team which reached the Champions League semi-finals in 2001 but have since dropped down to the third tier of English football.
Hereford go into the game on the back of important wins over Darlington and Mansfield and Turner told the Hereford Times: "It was important that we got six points from six from the two league games in the last week. We can now look forward to Leeds with a bit of confidence from the two wins and a nothing-to-lose sort of attitude."
Hereford have no new injuries to report after the midweek win over Mansfield, but Trent McClenahan has returned to Australia because of a family bereavement.
Richard Rose will continue at right-back for the Bulls, while Leeds boss Dennis Wise is set to give some first-team fringe players a chance to impress.
Wise said: "There are a couple that have played a lot of games and maybe it would do them the world of good to have a slight rest."
Midfielder Andy Hughes is nursing a sore groin and looks likely to be given chance to recover, but skipper Alan Thompson could play some part. Radostin Kishishev is still nursing a muscle strain.
Thompson has missed the last four matches due to a calf injury, but has returned to full training.
Leon Constantine could be handed his first start since arriving from Port Vale in the summer, with Jonny Howson, Paul Huntington, Filipe Da Costa, Curtis Weston, Robert Bayly and Ben Parker all hoping to feature.

Herefords største kamp i år. Tipper vi ikke får noe gratis, men som Wise sier - dette er en TV kamp og da er det viktig for Leeds å vise seg frem, samt at det å trekke en storklubb senere betyr mye penger i kassa. VI VINNER 2-0 ;D

Vi skal absolutt kunne slå Hereford i dag, tross enkelte utskiftninger i laget. Jeg var overrasket over hvor lite Darlo klarte å skape mot oss, tross god form i League 2 og Hereford burde da også være overkommelig. FA-cupen bør også være mer inspirerende for godt spill enn JPT-cupen.
Jeg håper Wise gjør som han sier og hviler spillere med såre ben og småskader. Rui og Heath kan vel neppe hviles på likt, men jeg håper en av de tar benken og baner vei for Huntington. Kanskje kan begge hviles og Parker settes inn som midtstoppermakker til Hunts. Det fungerte mot Darlo. I tillegg bør Frazer Richardson få hvile.
På midten ser det ut til at Hughes skal få slippe grunnet sin skade, mens Thommo muligens slipper til. Thommo har slitt med skader og trenger kamptrening. Dersom han ikke er fullstendig fri fra skaden, bør han imidlertidig ikke risikeres. Bayly, Howson og Weston er nok svært sugne på spill, det sammem med Filipe Da Costa. Carole har vel spilt så og si alle kamper og bør også kunne være en spiller som bør hviles, men kanskje være på benken som en joker. Han har fått heller blandet kritikk i det siste, det kan tyde på at formen er på vei ned.
Constantine kan fort starte denne kampen, mens Beckford eller Kandol fort blir makker, dersom ikke Wise velger en Da Costa i en litt tilbaketrukken rolle?
Jeg håper på noe sånt som dette
Lucas Martin virker å være langt unna laget
Delph - Huntington - Parker - Clapham Delph starter neppe, men det har vært morsomt. Parker tar kanskje backplass, med Heath\Rui som makker til Hunts.
Weston - Howson - Bayly - Da Costa Wise beholder muligens Carole på banen, mens Thommo nok spiller, men jeg håper dette blir midtbanen.
Constantine - Beckford Kandol virker i fin form og hviles, mens jeg håper Beckford og Constantine kan score i kveld.
Benk: Martin - Carole - Kandol - Thommo - Derry Derry er nok aldri i væla med, det er altfor tidlig, men det hadde vært moro å la han kjenne på førstelagsfotball og førstelagsstemningen igjen. Ellers spørs det nok om ikke Frazer spiller for Delph og Thommo starter pga rutine. Svaret ser vi i kveld! Samma for meg, bare vi vinner! :)
Uansett, en spennende aften og endelig en ordentlig cup! Lykke til, folkens! Er det forresten noen som er oppdatert på hvem som faktisk er suspendert i dag. Dette vrøvlet til Lorry kan jo sette enhver av kurs. ;)
-
....Jeg håper på noe sånt som dette
Lucas Martin virker å være langt unna laget
Delph - Huntington - Parker - Clapham Delph starter neppe, men det har vært morsomt. Parker tar kanskje backplass, med Heath\Rui som makker til Hunts.
Weston - Howson - Bayly - Da Costa Wise beholder muligens Carole på banen, mens Thommo nok spiller, men jeg håper dette blir midtbanen.
Constantine - Beckford Kandol virker i fin form og hviles, mens jeg håper Beckford og Constantine kan score i kveld.
....
Det laget du har satt opp der Kaizer, er nok det laget vi får se mot Bury på tirsdag! :)
- og Hereford slo faktisk Darlington 5-1 forrige helg. :o
-
Selvsagt, midjo!
Nå tenkte jeg altfor mye på kveldens kamp til å huske at vi spiller malingsturnering før neste seriekamp. Følger Wises eksempel med en kamp om gangen, veit du! :D
Det spørs nok om ikke kveldens utskiftninger blir i færreste laget, da ja. Muligens to-tre kanskje?

Noen som vet troppen mot Hereford?

Første runde i FA-cupen borte mot Hereford United i kveld kan bli langt jevnere og mer vrien enn noen i Leeds United hadde ønsket. Forskjellen mellom topp League Two og topp League One er skremmende liten. Jeg vet ikke hvor mange kamper jeg har sett live på begge disse nivåene, men det er mange, og er det én ting jeg har lært, så er det at man ikke knipser bort et topp League Two-lag sånn uten videre. De kommer til å jobbe beina av seg i kveld. Har likevel tro på 1-0 til Leeds United.
-
Jeg håper på dette laget i kveld:
Lucas.. 2 keeper å få vise seg fram i slike kamper.
Richardson, Rui, Huntington, Parker.. Solid forsvar som ville gjort det godt i league one og muligens championship. Det er viktig for selvtilliten at Parker og Huntington brukes og at di har noe på dette nivået og gjøre.
Weston, Derry, Thompson, Howson, Da Costa.. 5 på midtbanen, men kun for å matche spillerne. Da Costa, Weston og howson vil vise seg frem og dette er anledningen. Spiller Derry og Thompson solid sammen kan det bli en slager utover en lang sesong. Har virkelig sansen for disse to spillerne. Howson blir plassert mellom midtbane og angrep.
På topp har vi Constantine.
Han vil score masse mål for klubben på dette nivået og i dag er anledningen til å vise det. Beckford og Kandol hviler av taktiske årsaker.. Ville vere veldig trist å få en eventuell skade på disse nå..
SUBS: Martin, Ameobi, Bayly, HOTCHKISS, Kandol
La de unge få erfaring.

Tar du med i betraktningen at dette er som en cupfinale (og atpåtil TV-kamp!) for lille Hereford mot "mektige" Leeds, så blir det ikke mindre jevnt. På papiret er Leeds bedre overalt, men det blir tøft og jevnt. Jeg kan ikke skryte av å ha sett mye League Two, men da må Darlo ha prestert enormt dårlig mot oss i malingcupen, for makan til dårlig lag er det lenge siden jeg har sett - og i tillegg mot et elendig, uinspirert Leeds-reservelag.
Jeg blir trist og lei, men ikke sjokkert dersom Leeds blir slått ut i kveld. Likevel, det kan være at vi har godt av det i ligasammenheng, men uansett bør vi gå videre fra 1 og 2. runde i FA-cupen, trekke Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal eller Manchester United i 3.runde og få TV-kamp med et fullsatt Elland Road. Det er drømmen!

After giving the Bulls management team a last minute scare, Toumani Diagouraga has been passed fully fit as Wayne Jones reports...
Speaking to the Official Hereford United Website, club physio Wayne Jones said "Toum's picked up a slight groin injury on Tuesday, but he will be available for selection, he had a slight little niggle but he's okay now - he's back to 100%
Wayne went on to confirm that Dean Beckwith will be the only injury-absentee from tonights game "Dean's the only one know who's out, everyone else is fighting fit, and ready to go.
As reported earlier, Trent McClenahan will miss tonights match after returning to his native Australia, following a family bereavement.
Wayne then went on to talk about the atmosphere at the club "Its buzzing all the time, Sky are here, there's wires and lorries everywhere, there's people putting up signs, building the interview room, I wouldn't call it chaos but it's certainly a hive of activity.
"To be honest we don't have this kind of thing often enough here at Edgar Street."
Wayne then told us about the players preparations for tonights game "They had a very good session yesterday, not a long one, but a nice sharp one.
"Each player is preparing at home as they normally do for an evening game now, they'll come in early this evening and everyone will get together. Then the build up will start, in the dressing room and on the pitch.
I put Wayne on the spot and asked him for a prediction tonight, "Personally I don't think there will be a winner tonight. However, I know that we've been building up for a win, the players want a win. A draw would be quite acceptable I guess!
"Obviously we don't want to lose, we want to be in the hat for the next round, be it as Hereford or Leeds, or just as Hereford. A replay would be a fantastic money spinner though.
"It will be a great occasion for the players, the management, the staff and of course the fans. The excitement is all around."

Friday night Cup action at Edgar Street
Bulls ready for Leeds challenge
Hereford United's management and players say they go into their FA Cup first round tie against Leeds United as very much the underdogs, but they are convinced that they can cause a shock.
The Bulls have good ground for confidence going into the match on Friday 9 November; back-to-back wins over Darlington and Mansfield Town have left them in second place in the league table.
Manager Graham Turner is delighted with his side's excellent start to the League Two season, but he told BBC Hereford and Worcester that Leeds are likely to present a very different challenge:
"We've got to be solid; we haven't got to concede goals early on.
"We've got to set marker down in the first 20 minutes or so; that is looking to have a good shape to the side, and looking to be as sharp as they are - making sure that they don't dominate the game.
"If we can perform well, and we have that little bit of luck, then we're capable of beating them."
Graham Turner looks forward to the challenge of playing Leeds United"If we can do that, and steady the game down, if at all possible, we've got to take it to Leeds."
Graham Turner says it's important that his young side focuses on competing with those Leeds players on the pitch in front of them, and don't become sidetracked by the reputation and history of the visitors.
He points to an excellent showing in a Carling Cup tie at St Andrews earlier in the season as evidence that his squad is capable of mixing it with the best:
"There should be that little bit of confidence among the lads here: "Hang on, we've done it against Premiership players."
"Birmingham had a very strong side out that night in the Carling Cup and yet, in the second half, we should have beaten them.
"They should really have that belief that we can go and play against better players."
There is a view among Hereford's supporters that drawing Leeds United at home means that this is a bit like having a third round FA Cup tie in the first round.
Graham Turner agrees that this was the tie that every club in the draw had wanted, but insists that everyone remembers that this is a game between a team going very well in League Two and a team doing likewise in League One:
"We're only one division below them, but they are a big club; I think that it was only six years ago that they were in the semi-final of the Champions League.
"We realise the size of the club, but we bear in mind that they are only in the first division, and we try to keep the perspective on that.
"If we can perform well, and we have that little bit of luck, then we're capable of beating them."
The Bulls' boss told BBC Hereford and Worcester that his players have done really well to keep firmly fixed on the Darlington and Mansfield matches this week.
Now that they have won those games, all the attention is on the Leeds tie, but the indicators are that the Hereford squad is dealing well with the build up to the match:
"Everybody's talking about it; there were the queues around the ground on Saturday after the match.
"These are all the sort of things that can lead to a lack of focus on the important matters - that is training and playing.
"I think that, with this squad, they've managed to keep their feet on the floor; we've done the job so far - now we have to see if we can carry it out and have three victories in a week."
BBC Hereford and Worcester will bring the build up and full match commentary on the game to listeners to 94.7 FM and online from 7.05 pm on Friday 9 November.
Trevor Owens and Keith Hall will be at Edgar Street to describe the action, and also to gauge the views of fans both before and after the game.

Kandol & Becks starter.
Const, da Costa og Bayly på benken.
Parker og Huntington starter bakerst, Rui hviler.
Weston og Douglas på midten ser det ut til?

Rett og slett skuffende at Da Costa ikke starter...
-
Jævla teit spør du meg.
skal han aldri få sjansen!? ???

Er det noen som vet om man kan gå inn på nettet og følge kampen live. Nå tenker jeg på bilder.

Ja, regner med at han begynner å bli passe utålmodig sjøl også! :o

Hereford stiller med samme lag som sist, de satser på en cupbombe

Hadde håpt å sjå Da Costa i aksjon frå start idag, men den gang ei....
Då er det berre å benke seg foran skjermen ilag med Carlsberg og glede seg til ein sjelden kamp med vårt kjære Leeds United på TV!
Kjerringa er på julebord, Marius er i seng og Leeds på TV, livet er heeeerlig!
LYKKE TIL GUTTER OG JENTER!!

Svak første 20, på tur inn i det etterhvert
-
Her var det utrolig stille. Det er tydelig at kampen vises på tv. Noen er heldige... får nøye meg med forskutt sending fra 21.30.... og følge med på nettet samtidig...!
-
Pause.
Dårlig start, men kom bedre med etter hvert. Ingen stor kamp, men føler på meg at vi vinner dette.
Få inn Da Costa i 2 omgang, og ut med Weston. Har hatt flere gode muligheter å utfordre en mot en, men har vel ikke klart det en eneste gang.
-
Ingen store sjanser.
Carole Leeds beste så langt.
-
Svak omgang av oss dette :(
Høyresiden er jo død !
Syns til tider (og desverre litt for ofte), at vi
spiller Wip lash fotball, alt for mye over midtbanen.
Det kommer ellers aldri folk på overlapping, og det
syns jeg er synd. Bedret seg litt mot slutten, med
litt spill langs bakken, syns Carole har vært vår beste.
Sjokkerer meg ellers at vi ikke har noen på stolpene
på corner i mot >:( >:( >:(
Dette lærer 12-åringer !!!
Kan bare bli bedre etter pause :D
-
Pause.
Dette var skuffande! :'(
Første 25 minutt var eg usikker på om det var Leeds som var league two laget... :-[
Leeds kom litt meir med i kampen frå 25, men sliter med å etablere eige spel. Enkelt kombinasjoner innimellom, men det virker litt tilfeldig. Siste 5 minutt var det Herefod som viste seg fram igjen.
Her må det skikkeleg peptalk til i pausen, så får vi håpe det betra seg i andre omgang! 8)
Ellers må eg få kommentere at eg tykkjer det er litt rart at når Wisey er suspendert og må sitte på tribuna å følge kampen så set sannelig assistenten Basett der også. Skulle tru han kunne gjere ein betre jobb på benken enn på tribuna... :-\ (eller må han sone ferdig ein gammel suspensjon.... ;))
COME ON LEEDS!!!
-
Då høyrer eg Eggen er klar igjen så da er det berre å innta plassen igjen og håpe på bedre tider!
Good luck!!
WE ALL LOVE LEEDS - COME ON LEEDS !!!!!!!
-
Vil tro at vår nye assistent gikk ned i pausen og
sa det Wise hadde tenkt å si...
Syns ellers Wise ser litt umotivert ut i dag ;D
-
Tidvis skuffende nivå på laget vårt..Weston utmerket seg desverre i så måte. Skjønner godt at han er langt unna laget.
-
Blir det ekstraomganger og evnt. straffekonk her, eller går det til omkamp?
-
Det blir omkamp
-
slutt...... Då lyt me belaga oss på omkamp :-\
-
Dette må være en av de svakeste Leeds-kampene jeg noensinne
har sett, ikke akkurat propaganda-fotball :-\
Huff, huff og atter huff ! Hadde vi noen sjanser i dag ???
Vi skal være glade for at ikke Hereford scora på noen av de
3 sjansene sine.
Weston var en skandale, har vi ikke flere alternativer på høyre siden?
Carole, som var god før pause, var nærmest usynlig i 2.
Håper virkelig vi spiller mer langs bakken til vanlig, enn hva
vi gjorde i dag. Var ikke nakken stiv fra før av, ble den
ihvertfall stiv av å følge ballen i lufta...
-
Slutt.
Liten og ingen bedring etter pause, dette var rett og slett svakt! >:(
Hereford hadde vel i tillegg til spelet også den dei største sjansane. Dei er nok fornøgd med å få seg ein tur til Elland Road og meir penger i kassen, men eg trur dei føler seg snytt i dag.
Det virker som Leeds spelar utan midtbane, ballen skal høgt og langt. :(
Nei, Leeds er nok best på radio.... ;)
Veldig skuffande forestilling!
we all love leeds
-
F***e kamp.
-
Ja, Weston var svak idag.
Men, synest nesten det er vanskelig å plukke ut enkeltspelarar idag då eg synest heile laget var svakt og ikkje minst ein forferdeleg (manglande) plan over spelet.
Kanskje Huntington kan få nokså godkjent, men eg er rett og slett forbausa over kor dårlege vi var.
Dette var trist sorti!

rett og slett litt leit

Ja, synd at vi spiller så dårlig når vi først går på TV i Norge :'(
Vi vinner vel ikke så mange nye unge venner med det vi presterte i dag...
-
Et stort gjesp av en kamp. Begge lag er gode til å forsvare seg, og slikt blir det ikke akkurat underholdning av. Er veldig skuffet over innsatsen til guttene, og synes vi var litt heldig som ikke reiste hjem med tap. Ikke mye positivt å dra ut fra denne kampen, men synes det lille vi får se av Da Costa virker meget spennende. Meget god venstrefot og teknikk. Men han trenger mer spilletid Wise! Synd vi ikke ville nok til å vinne denne kampen, nå får vi enda en kamp i det tøffe kampprogrammet vårt.
En liten vurdering av spillerne:
Ankergren 7 - Beste spiller på Leedslaget. Noen meget viktige redninger, solid kamp.
Rui 5.5 - Virket ikke helt komfortabel på backen, og slet litt sammen med resten forsvaret med kjappe angripere.
Heath 6 - Vant noen viktige dueller. Ellers en godkjent kamp av Heath.
Huntington 6 - Samme som Heath, godkjent kamp.
Parker 6.5 - Spiller nok en solid kamp. Minus for et par glipper, men viser at han er en meget lovende spiller.
Weston 3 - Hva skal man si? Fikk ikke til noe, selv om han fikk utfordre en mot en flere ganger. Gutten har hurtighet, men det er vel det eneste han har.
Douglas 5 - Alt for mange dårlige avleveringer av Douglas i dag. Virket ikke helt på topp.
Howson 5.5 - Synes Howson gjør en ok kamp. Man ser at han har talentet, og jeg tror det er viktig for utviklingen hans at Wise gir han nok spilletid fremover.
Carole 6 - Veldig aktiv og livlig i første omgang, men faller av i andre.
Beckford 5.5 - Virker til tider farlig, men mangler det lille ekstra i de avgjørende situasjonene. Fikk heller ikke mange gode baller å jobbe på.
Kandol 3 - Det eneste Kandol gjorde i dag, var å vinne 2-3 hodedueller. Traff nesten ikke på en pasning, og virket litt umotivert. Skuffende.
Da Costa - Bør få mer spilletid. Spennende spiller!
-
Er akkurat kommet hjem. Ingenting som tyder på at jeg gikk glipp av noe >:(
-
Bra med omkamp, vi trenger pengene. Kanskje d var planen.
-
En svært skuffende opptreden av laget. 1.omgang var dårlig og 2.omgang muligvis enda svakere.
Huntington og Beckford (og Carole før pause) får godkjent for å prøve en del, men flere andre klarer aldri å ta tak i kampen - ikke minst Weston (og da Costa var ikke stort bedre). Den sentrale midtbanen ble mer og mer fraværende og Hereford - som riktignok ga alt gjennom hele kampen - hadde de største sjansene.
Trodde dog at kampen skulle bli avggjort på ekstraomganger og straffer - omkampen må jo komme på et merkelig sent tidspunkt. Må bli 20. eller 21.november, knapt halvannen uke før runde 2.
SA
-
Noen som fikk med seg forklaringen på hvorfor vi var bare 17 mann i troppen (tror det var Frazer som ikke hadde fått blitt med?).
-
Skremmende dårlige hele kampen. Synes det er utrolig hvordan det går å ha så dårlig passningsspill til tider.
Og når man bruker Howson, hvorfor ikke bruke ham litt mer offensivt? Syntes han alltid sto igjen.. Douglas er bedre defensivt, men han ble sendt oppover på banen.
Nei, skuffende. Men morsomt å være på Oslo Sportbar
-
Noen som fikk med seg forklaringen på hvorfor vi var bare 17 mann i troppen (tror det var Frazer som ikke hadde fått blitt med?).
Frazer og Prutton hadde blitt sjuk.
-
For ein fredagskveld, LEEDS på tv, også spelar dei som eit bedriftslag......
Men er ikkje heilt enig med Ferre i poenggivninga hans, Parker var ein av dei som eg følgde med argusauge og han falt rett gjennom på dette nivået, samme sak med Howson. Men Da Costa virkar lovande, men kan og forstå at Wise ventar med han, han verkar alt for lett og svak i kroppen til å overleva i engelsk fotball, men med forsiktig matching, så kan han bli ein hit.
No får me håpa at Viasat sender returkampen og.
Ha ei fin helg ;)
-
Ja, ja, det er opprykk som gjelder....
-
Meget skuffende. Etter min mening det værst tenklige resultatet fordi:
Må ut i omkamp på EL. Kan bli mange kamper...
Synes det er viktig at vi holder størst fokus på ligaen iår.Hadde vært like griet med tap ikveld... ligaen må være det viktigste iår. Det viktigste er at vi rykker opp.
SUPER-LEEDS

Da har jeg sett den første kampen av Leeds-2007. Og du skal være jævlig forelska for å si "at denna er fin". Og det sier jo en del om de andre laga siden vi har tatt så mye poeng. Men vi skal allikevel slite for å rykke opp.
Midtbanen stinker.Og det har jo kampene , spesielt mot Carlisle og Bmouth også fortalt. Vi er veldig avhengig av at Thompson blir frisk, og holder seg frisk.
Jeg så ikke lagoppstillinga da kampen startet, og det tok 58 matchminutter før jeg så at vi hadde nr.23 på høyre midtbane. Er Wise forelska??? Weston er jo mildt sagt elendig. Fotballspiller er han ihvertfall ikke.
Forstår at Kandol/Beckford scorer mye mål. Spesielt Beckford har 9'er instinktet. Carole er småfiks med ballen, men det blir ikke noe av det,. Douglas er en kjemper, og får mye gule kort fordi han er den har er. CCC-spiller, ikke mer. Howson viste at han kan være noe bygge på.. Midtstopperene er greie, mens Huntingdom har en lang vei. Parker er ikke så verst.
Alt i alt bør vi kjøpe et pat spillere til vinteren for å sikre opprykket. Så får vi hpåe at KB selger til noen som VIL, og KAN, satse kroner for neste sesong - og framtida. Det er LANG vei,
C'mon Leeds! Marching on together....
-
...Parker var ein av dei som eg følgde med argusauge og han falt rett gjennom på dette nivået...
Deg om det. Synes Parker virket solid og var Leeds' klart beste spiller. Han hadde også banens beste spiller mot seg på sin side, fotrappe Ainsworth. Det offensive i dag var skuffende rett og slett.
Og når det gjelder Weston. Dere som allerede nå slakter han må passe på å ikke gå i samme fella som en del gjorde med Kandol forrige sesong. Forøvrig var ikke sistnevnte en fotballspiller i dag. :D
-
Frazer og Prutton var blitt syke i dag.

Ankergren 6,5 Har ett bra redninger, men er helt på tuppa når det kommer innlegg fra sidene, har ikke kontroll på feltarbeidet i det hele tatt!
Parker 5, Ikke veldig bra, men heller ikke veldig dårlig.
Heath 6, Har grei kontroll, viser at han ikke er den kjappeste.
Huntington 6, Har grei kontroll, redder Heath hvertfall en gang
Rui 5, Ikke helt komfortabel på backen.
Carole 6, Viser at det bor mye i han, men det blir så lite ut av det.
Howson 4, Jeg blir nervøs hver gang han har ballen, spiller med en usikkerhet, og forsvinner totalt i 2.omgang.
Douglas 4, Skuffende kamp av Douglas også, gikk på ett par løp, men det var stort sett alt.
Weston 3, Viser noe bra i 1.omgang, forsvinner helt i 2.omgang.
Beckford 3,5, Skuffende kamp av "stjerna" til Leeds. Virker totalt uinteressert, havner bakpå i stort sett alle dueller og løp uten ball er totalt fraværende. Men har ett par fine løp MED ball, og har ett par småfarlige skudd.
Kandol 3, Vinner noen hodedueller, men er ellers som Beckford totalt uinterressert og viser en innsats som ikke ligner grisen.
En skuffende kamp av Leeds, virker ikke som de er interessert i å vinne kampen i det hele tatt. Er mest skuffet over innsatsen til Beckford og Kandol, tror knapt de sprang 1 km i dag, og det tilsammen!

Eg kan jo prøva ;)
Ein som blir brukt som rundingsbøye av ein spelar frå divisjonen under (var han på lån frå Derby?), og dessutan ikkje klarer og bidra med anna enn eit skudd på mål (bra skudd med høgrefoten). Om du meinar med "friske" at han ikkje hadde fått da samma som Prutton og Frazer, så får du unnskylda meg, då såg eg ikkje ironien ;)
Dette var min første LEEDS kamp på tv i år, så skuffelsen var stor og då sto dei nye nærmast for høgg. Men du må synast kva du vil om kven du vil, da gjer eg....
-
Syns Parker var god i dag. Skjønner heller ikke hvorfor han ikke spiller i steden for Clapham. God offansivt er han kanskje ikke, men det gjør at Frazer kan bli med opp oftere, som er bedre offansivt..
-
Må bare si det Sleivind, vi har ikke sett samme kamp.

[/quote]Ainsworth er en meget bra spiller som goalet 3 mål i en å samme kamp mot Yeovil tidligere denne sesongen. Utrolig kjapp og driblesterk spiller som jeg lett ville hatt til Leeds faktisk. Parker var ingen rundingsbøye... Når Ainsworth fikk bakrom var han farlig, ellers var Parker alltid på plass. God fart på Parker også kunne vi da se... Vi fortsetter denne diskusjonen når han spiller for Leeds i Premier League om 4 år... :)
Mvh

Boring kamp. Fant ut at leeds faktisk befinner seg i league one..
men MOT! :D
-
Må bare si det Sleivind, vi har ikke sett samme kamp.
Det har vi nok gjort! Men jeg var forferdelig skuffet rett etter kampslutt, og en kan vel si at ratingene gjenspeiler noe av den frustrasjonen! Muligens noe som burde vært rettet på, men skuffet er jeg uansett.

HVA ER DET DU SNAKKER OM!?!?! League One?!

Alle seirene i år til tross; ble nesten litt deppa av å se Leeds igjen. En sterk påminnelse om hvor laget egentlig befinner seg for tiden. Det er SINNSSYKT langt opp til Premier League.
-
Herregud så tafatte vi var idag.. riktignok var mye rutine borte, og det ba preg av en del utprøvninger... men allikevel... helt sykt tafatt var det!..
Men for min del så driter jeg i FA cup, og jeg synes det er greit vi lar reserver/unggutta få prøve seg i slike kamper. Det er ligaen vi skal fokusere på i år.. etter min mening... vi har ikke noe i FA cupen å gjøre uansett.. spørsmålet er bare hvor mange runder det går før vi blir slått ut uansett. Men skal vi risikere for mye skader og karantener på det?... ikke etter min mening.

Har nå latt kroppen få ro etter denne meget underholdende kamp fra våre spillere.Så fort at dette er et lag som kommer til å nå langt.At vi ikke scorer på alle disse sjansene vi hadde var et mirakel og en fantomkamp av Herefords keeper.Nei jeg får endelig håpe at FA så denne kampen og innser at det beste for fotballen er å gi Leeds fribillett til Cupfinalen. Vi trenger ikke å møte flere lag på denne fantastiske veien til Wembley

Egentlig et stykke opp til CCC også, siden vi faktisk var heldige som ikke tapte mot et league 2-lag.

sitter for å samle meg litt en lørdags formiddag.
fikk sett matchen på SporteNs sending - og er drittskuffet.
bortsett fra YouTube- og LUTV-klipp har jeg ikke laget (trolig i likhet med aller fleste) live så langt i år.
latterlig innsats over hele fjøla, uinsiprert og baktungt.
tam lagledelse, som ikke imponerer en millimeter (som er riktig måleenhet når det gjelder Dennis "f**king" Wise).
heldig at man ikke ryker på ræva ut i FAs 1. runde mot et enkelt Hereford-lag - som riktignok oser av innsatsvilje, men knapt nok holder norsk Adecco-nivå. T.o.m. Molde hadde trillet rundt med dette laget - det sier myyyyyye!
gjesp!
nå er fotball en sammenhengende serie av opp- og nedturer. Spesielt når man er Leeds-supporter (AaFK og Skeid også for den del). Men min vanligvis boblende fredagsstemning fikk en bråstopp mellom kl. 21.30-23.30. Var trolig for første gang i historien (hvert fall etter fylt 16 år) i sengs før kl. 24 en fredag. Kona er fortsatt i sjokktilstand.
takk faen meg skal du ha, Dennis Wise!
takk for en dårlig fredagskveld - og en litt turbulent inngang til helga.
Fotballdverg!
på vegne av vannvittig mange - alarm!
basert på gårsdagens kamp har laget på bana så mange svakheter og mangler at jeg skjønner ikke at laget har klart å samle sammen de resultatene som de har så langt i høst.
håper at gårsdagens evner, ferdigheter og innsats var en engangsfortredelse. hvis ikke har man ikke noe i CCC å gjøre.
innsats er første krav. med innsats kan man til en hvis grad glatte over moderat talent og variasjoner i dagsformen (det var hvert fall slik jeg fikk en slags fotballkarriere i tennårene). ikke mye innsats å spore i går.
(Uuuuuuh. Det var godt å få det ut!)
-
når jeg først er i gang med å tømme meg skikkelig.
hvorfor har vi fire-fem ulike Hereford-tråder?

Sånn føltes det for oss i Bodø etter tre strake tap før kvalifiseringskampen mot Odd. Men Glimt løftet ses i den kampen og vant 1-0 borte som alle vet. Poenget mitt er vel at Glimt brukte de tre siste meningsløse kampene til å prøve ut spillere og formasjoner. Det er vel egentlig det samme som Wise og co gjorde i går? Neste kamp er alle skjerpet og Leeds vinner komfortabelt 1-0 ::) Capice??

Kun for å forvirre deg ;D
-
Huff, dette var triste greier. Jeg duppet faktisk av under kampen. Det har ALDRI skjedd tidligere med Leeds på TV!

Nå føler jeg det foregår en viss krisemaksimering rundt om etter en dårlig kamp offensivt fra vårt lags side. Ja visst noen av spillerne så direkte umotiverte ut. Kandol skulle for eksempel ikke vært på banen i det hele tatt.
Men så må vi huske på at cup er cup som alltid Arne Scheie lirer ut av seg. Hereford ga alt og hadde faktisk en del brukbare spillere, selv om de "bare" hadde tre seire på rad hjemme før denne kampen og ligger på en "forsmedelig" 2. plass i L2. Vi kan ikke regne med å overkjøre/slå Hereford bare fordi de heter Hereford og ligger i L2, selv ikke når det er en dårlig dag på jobben. For det var det det var. En dårlig dag på jobben. Er selvsagt skuffet over gårsdagens forestilling selv, men jeg synes ikke vi skal glemme den gode starten vi har hatt og avskrive det som en slags flaks fordi det foregår rævvafotball mot Hereford. Ã… bruke denne kampen ene og alene bare fordi det er en TV-kamp og basere dette med at laget ikke holder mål. Er etter mitt syn en alt for enkel analyse.
Noe positivt kom da ut av denne kampen også. Selv om det er et splittet syn også på det vil jeg tro. :)
Ps. Hereford ble ingen Giant Killer denne gang.
-
Det positive må jo være at vi tjener noen ekstra pund på omkampen ;D

Når vi nå har fått denne begredelige kampen litt på avstand, så kan vi kanskje se litt på hva som har skjedd totalt sett den siste uken.
Sist lørdag måtte laget reise så langt nord som mulig - til Carlisle. Tre dager seinere måtte de reise så langt sør som mulig - til Bournemouth. Og tre dager etter den kampen måtte de ut på en ny reise - til Wales.
Her tror jeg vi har mye av forklaringen på den tafatte forestillingen vi var vitne til igår. Tre kamper på seks dager sliter på hvem som helst. Og når laget samtidig måtte bedrive veldig mye reisevirksomhet i forbindelse med disse kampene, så gjør ikke det saken bedre.
Dagens Leeds-lag er ikke godt nok til å kunne spille på "auto-pilot". Vi er kun noenlunde god når vi er "up for it" - både mentalt og fysisk. Og det var nok for mye å forvente at vi skulle være det på tampen av denne hælvetesuken.
Hva har vi så fått ut av den sannsynligvis tøffeste seksdager perioden vi må igjenom i løpet av denne sesongen? Jo, vi tok tre poeng på to tøffe bortekamper - og vi går sannsynligvis videre i FA-cupen. Kanskje ikke så ille allikevel...?

Takk, vetten!

Støttar den. Bra innlegg av veteranen og Enrique over. Det var ein sørgeleg forestilling, men det er ingen grunn til å male fanden på veggen etter ein kamp som det var tydeleg at ingen i Leeds rekna som spesielt viktig.

Morsomt at du spør.....men det var vel egentlig jeg som la ut den første, og så er det som med ketsjup-flasken her. Kommer det to så rauser det på... ;)

vad skall man säga om matchen? jo att hade de spelat med den här inställningen i ligan så hade de inte legat där de ligger idag, kändes som ett lätt träningspass när man såg spelarna , ingen risk att någon förtog sig, tycker dock man kunde se att Howson är lovande och kan bli något i framtiden om han får chansen, tror de kör över hereford totalt i returen på hemmaplan, minst 3-0
