Ikke si at dette er lett match.  Vi er det dårligste laget i ligasystemet nå.

Idag så vant Torqua over Histon.

Kamp 20/12:

Huddersfield - Hereford 2-0 (0-0)
HT: Nathan Clarke 70, Gary Roberts 77

Turner bemoans penalty decision
Hereford boss Graham Turner felt his side should have had a penalty moments before Huddersfield took the lead in the Bulls' 2-0 away defeat.
Andrew Williams was up-ended by Huddersfield defender Andy Butler in the box in the 70th minute of Saturday's League One clash at the Galpharm, but referee David Webb waved away Hereford's appeal
Turner said: "That was the turning point of the game. For me it was a cast-iron penalty and if we had scored with it we might well have gone on to win the game.
"As it was, Huddersfield went straight down the other end and scored but I will watch the incident on DVD and if I am wrong I will say so but there is no doubt in my mind."
He added: "Despite the disappointment I was happy with the performance. If we can repeat this level of performance we should be able to get out of trouble.
"All the players know they did well and if they continue to believe in themselves things will come right for us."


Perfect Terriers start for Clark
New Huddersfield manager Lee Clark enjoyed a winning start to his management career after two late goals sealed a 2-0 home win over Hereford.
After creating a number of first-half chances, the Terriers had to defend for long periods after the break as the lowly Bulls looked to snatch all three points.
Huddersfield goalkeeper Alex Smithies made two great saves from Lionel Ainsworth and Steve Guinan to keep his side in the match.
And, against the run of play, centre-back Nathan Clarke struck the ball home in the 70th minute when Bulls full-back Richard Rose only half cleared a shot from Danny Cadamarteri.
The home side wrapped up victory six minutes later when substitute Phil Jevons and Gary Roberts worked a neat one-two on the edge of the area and Roberts fired home his seventh goal of the season.
Lionel Ainsworth almost gave Hereford a lifeline but Smithies made another fantastic save.

Kamp 26/12:
Hereford - Tranmere 2-2 (1-1)

Sonko double not enough for Rovers
Hereford fought back twice to stop League One rivals Tranmere in their tracks as a highly-entertaining Boxing Day encounter finished 2-2.
Gambian international Edrissa Sonko twice put Tranmere in front but Hereford responded with Toumani Diagouraga and Steve Guinan on target.
Hereford had several earlier openings with Lionel Ainsworth, Guinan and Matt Done all failing to find the target before Sonko put the Rovers in front in the 38th minute. Bas Savage released the ball to him and he beat goalkeeper Craig Samson with a low drive from 15 yards into the corner of the net.
But in first-half stoppage time Diagouraga levelled for the Bulls with a rising shot into the roof of the net from 12 yards.
Early in the second period Guinan headed wide of the Rovers goal as Hereford pushed forward again, but Sonko struck again in the 61st minute when he rifled home from just inside the penalty area.
Hereford however levelled again four minutes later when Guinan ran the ball past Coyne from 18 yards.

Kamp 28/12:
Leicester - Hereford 2-1 (1-0)

Bulls put the fright into Foxes
Leicester ensured they would begin 2009 top of League One with a narrow 2-1 victory over struggling Hereford at the Walkers Stadium.
The Foxes took the lead after nine minutes when Matty Fryatt crossed for Steve Howard to thump the ball home from 12 yards.
City then squandered a string of chances until they finally doubled their advantage after 71 minutes when Matt Oakley teed up Andy King, who scored with a crisp drive from 16 yards.
But Hereford found themselves back in the game in the 79th minute when Karl Broadhurst took advantage of a hesitant City defence to head home a deep free-kick from Richard Rose.
There were anxious moments for the home side in the final minutes when Hereford were awarded a free-kick 30 yards in front of goal which Ben Smith drove just wide to allow Leicester to record their eighth straight home win.

Sitter her i dag, med en skikkelig god følelse etter kampen i går, og jeg synes det er vanvittig moro med Malcolm Christie, han er jo virkelig en god spiss så lenge han er i form, og tenk hvilken spiller Leeds egentlig har i han nå som han er tilbake fra langt skade opphold! Med Seier mot Hereford(høres heller ut som et velkjent bilmerke enn et fotball lag spør du meg) da er vi på full rulle mot play off og wembley igjen, men veien er lang, men syns det virker langt lysere med Sir Grayson allerede! Kan kun gå en vei i mine øyne nå, fremover:)!

Malcolm Christie scoret sist, Becchio scoret sist og Becks er skadefri. Ikke rart jeg er suuper opptimist nå. Denne kampen vinner vi og. MOT

Eg fekk definitivt "godkjensla" att etter Stockport-kampen og er svært håpefull foran møtet med svakt tabellplasserte Hereford. Christie var definitivt eit lyspunkt sist med sitt mål og forarbeid til Delph sitt mål. Hadde vore veldig fint å kunne vere litt mindre avhengig av Becks. Men eg vil heller foretrekke ein skadefri Becks i startoppstillinga foran Christie på laurdag. Sistnemnde kan vere gull å ha som superreserve.

Bulls can beat Leeds, says Samson 

Hereford United goalkeeper Craig Samson says the spirit in the side is good and feels that the Bulls can beat Leeds United at Edgar Street on Saturday.
"We will be going all out for a win," Samson told BBC Hereford and Worcester. "We are at home and it might be Leeds but we are capable of winning."
Samson is also happy with his own form since finally getting a first-team run.
"The results are not what we want but for me personally it's good to get some games under my belt," he added.
Samson, who played almost 100 games in the Scottish League before moving south, has had an in and out time of it since his summer move from Dundee.
After appearing in two early season games in August, he then had one Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie in October before appearing in the two FA Cup ties against Dagenham and Redbridge in November.  We don't give up and I don't think anyone can accuse us of not giving 100 per cent
He then came off the bench when on-loan Matt Murray broke down in the defeat at MK Dons with a knee injury. And, although boss Graham Turner then brought in another loan keeper, Chris Weale from Bristol City, when he also got injured, Samson was this time given a proper chance.
He has now played the last four games, his longest first team run. And, after helping his side to successive home draws against Hartlepool and Tranmere Rovers, he claims the Bulls were unlucky not to get a point on Sunday at League One leaders Leicester.
"In the first half they were the better side," he said. "But I thought we did well and the last 10 minutes we had a couple of chances.
"When we pulled a goal back the lads got a lift.
"We felt we could score again and we put them under pressure but it wasn't to be.
"We don't give up and I don't think anyone can accuse us of not giving 100 per cent."

A last stop for Andy and Josh

Striker Andy Williams and central defender Josh Gowling are scheduled to play their last game for Hereford United in Saturday's League One match against Leeds United.
Williams, the Bristol Rovers striker, has been on loan at Edgar Street for the past three months and has made 14 starts but has only scored one goal.
Gowling, who is on loan from Carlisle United, has made five appearances at the heart of the defence, alongside either Dean Beckwith or skipper Karl Broadhurst.
Meanwhile, Hereford could host their biggest crowd of the season against the former Premier League club.
Leeds have taken up their full allocation of tickets and will be accommodated at the Blackfriars end of the stadium.
best attendance in League One so far has been 4,061 when the drew 1-1 with Swindon Town.
Hereford officials have also stated that there will be no tickets available on the day

Facing Leeds is 'terrific'  

The Hereford United management duo of Graham Turner and John Trewick are highly motivated ahead of Saturday's League One encounter with Leeds.
Despite the Bulls position at the wrong end of the table, Turner feels an upset could be on the cards.
Speaking on the official club website, he maintained: 'Maybe a result will come against one of the most unexpected of sides.
'The players have got a lot of heart at the moment, despite our lowly league position.
'This is the level we want to be playing at, and we know it's tough and a test of character, but the Leeds match is another one to look forward to.
'I think it's terrific to be pitting our wits against teams like Leeds.'
Turner has seen his side improve markedly in recent weeks, although the results have not yet matched the performances.
He therefore remains upbeat about the squad's prospects.
'What I've said to the players is I don't want us to be gallant losers, and if we're not careful that is the way things are going.
'I think if we keep our heads and keep working like we are doing, sooner-or-later our results will change'.
Turner's thoughts are echoed by head-coach John Trewick.
'It doesn't matter whether you're playing a side at the top, or bottom of the table. You still have to work on the same things.
'As I've said before this season we have to be more clinical, at the back as well as in front of goal.
'We need to become hard to beat. So we are looking for the formula and blend that will once again bring us clean sheets.
'When a job needs doing we need to become more professional in certain areas of the pitch'.
Trewick has a wealth of experience behind him, and consequently he is drawing on a knowledge and understanding of top-flight football.
He aims to pull United away from the relegation zone during the early part of 2009.
'The higher you go in football, its easier to become punished if you make mistakes.
'Asking any team to go out and score two or three every game to get a result is demanding to say the least.
'So, that is what we have to address as we need to get tighter into the New Year.
'We must not give goals away that we feel are 'cheap', but we've also got to make sure we remain positive and fresh.'

Bulls ace rues Macca sacking

Steve Guinan admits he and his Hereford team-mates are ruing the sacking of ex-Leeds United chief Gary McAllister and wish they could have played the Whites before Christmas and not after.
McAllister paid the price for a shocking run of five defeats on the spin on December 21, but successor Simon Grayson has benefited from a new manager 'bounce' since, taking four points out of six over the festive season.
Galvanised Leeds, five points off the play-off spots, are now scenting back-to-back league wins for the first time since late October at Edgar Street on Saturday and are hoping to turn their mini-upturn into a fully-blown upward curve this weekend.
Veteran striker Guinan, inset, Bulls' top-scorer with six goals this term, told the YEP: "We were all secretly hoping that Gary McAllister might have stayed on for a few more games and that Leeds would have kept on their bad run.
"Don't get me wrong, Leeds are still in a good position just outside the play-offs â€" and I'm sure they'll get back in there again in a few weeks and will push on, I've no doubt about that.
"But it would have been nice to have played them when they were in a little rut after losing five on the bounce.
"But now they've got a new manager in and the attitude changes in the dressing room and the players will want to impress him and are fighting for places with Simon Grayson working out his players.
"We all know the squad and the size of Leeds and they've got a couple of decent results and we just hope we can perform for ourselves.
"We need to get something from our home games."

Turner's tribute to Leeds' fans

Graham Turner admits Hereford United supporters will be pinching themselves when they see their heroes host Leeds on Saturday afternoon.
As recently as 2003-04, the Whites were plying their trade in the top-flight and the Bulls were members of the Conference alongside clubs like Leigh, Ebbsfleet â€" in their former guise of Gravesend and Northfleet â€" Scarborough and Halifax Town.
Four divisions separated the sides then, but now they find themselves on an equal footing going into this weekend's clash â€" despite the vast gulf in terms of the size of the respective clubs.
The fixture has been talked about in Herefordshire for weeks, but for the players and the management at Edgar Street at least, minds are totally focused on business and on playing the 11 men on the pitch and not past reputations.
Especially since the major pressing matter for all and sundry at the relegation-threatened Bulls is surviving in the third tier, having fought so hard to clinch promotion and ply their trade at this level for the first time since 1977-78.
Turner, manager, director of football and chairman all rolled into one at the League One minnows, told the YEP: "For us to be playing at the same level as Leeds is fantastic for our supporters, who will have to pinch themselves to see us entertaining them in the league.
"But from a professional point of view, it's just another game with three points at stake. Where we are in the league, every game is vital to us.
"While the game has got a certain attraction, it's not massively important compared to the rest.
"Despite our position, we feel we're playing reasonably well, without getting the points return that I think we've deserved. But we have that belief sooner or later that it's going to turn for us."
On Saturday's joust, expected to be not far short of a 7,100 sell-out â€" with Leeds having sold their allocation of close to 2,000 tickets â€" Turner, above, added: "It will be a good turn-out, no doubt our biggest gate of the season.
"Whether it will be a sell-out remains to be seen, but it will be a good atmosphere.
"We are pleased to welcome Leeds, although there is that little bit of apprehension with the reputation (of the fans) over a number of years. But that seems to have gone now.
"The crowds Leeds get are amazing. I think it's incredible that a crowd of nearly 35,000 can be achieved by a League One club.
"When I was at Wolves â€" they were a league lower, I know that â€" gates were down to two and three thousand.
"Wolves in the 60s and early 70s were a massive club and that's how low gates had dropped and yet Leeds have maintained a fantastic support."

Christie wants piece of the action

Malcolm Christie is hoping for another chance to show he has lost none of his finishing skill as Leeds defend their unbeaten record under new manager Simon Grayson at Hereford on Saturday.
Former Middlesbrough and Derby striker Christie came off the bench at Stockport on Sunday to score Leeds’ third goal in a 3-1 win and his first in competitive action since January, 2007.
Christie, 29, lost 18 months through injuries but his refusal to throw in the towel brought its reward with that goal at Edgeley Park and he is anxious to continue making up for lost time.
However, he faces strong competition for a place in the attack and may have to be satisfied with a place on the bench again.
Jermaine Beckford faces a check on the hamstring which tightened and caused him to be replaced by Christie just after the hour mark at Stockport.
A 64th-minute goal from Andy Robinson gave United victory over Hereford at Elland Road in November and victory at Edgar Street would bring the side’s first league double of the season.
The win at Hereford was one of only four clean sheets from United in League One this season â€" the last was at Cheltenham two months ago â€" and Grayson said: “Keeping clean sheets is not just the responsibility of the defence; it’s down to the whole team, with everyone maintaining concentration for 90 minutes.”

Leeds sweat over Beckford fitness

Leeds United are sweating over the fitness of top-scorer Jermaine Beckford ahead of their first-Ever league visit to Hereford United tomorrow.
Beckford came off as a precaution with a hamstring niggle - ironically on the opposite leg to the one which forced him to sit out four games in the run-up to Christmas - in the 65th minute of Sunday's 3-1 success at Stockport and is a doubt for the Bulls encounter.
Grayson said: "We've got one or two knocks from the Stockport game.
"But hopefully the majority of the side who played at the weekend and the squad that travelled will be available for selection.
"Jermaine is one we are assessing - he is a doubt, but there's every chance he could play as well.
"It was his other hamstring that he felt was a bit tight (at Stockport). We just felt it was an opportunity - we wanted to change it around a little bit as he was feeling uncomfortable with the situation himself.
"And as it turned out, it wasn't a bad substitution with Malcolm (Christie) coming on and scoring as well."
Despite the Bulls being entrenched in the League One drop zone, Grayson is expecting nothing less than a tough battle against Graham Turner's troops - with only Leicester, Millwall, Southend and Northampton having conceded fewer goals at home this term.
He said: "Hereford will be a tough nut to crack. They are a hard-working team who are going to love Leeds United coming to Edgar Street.
"It's going to be a difficult game, but it's a challenge we're looking forward to.
"We know Hereford are going to work hard and try and stop us from playing and we have to match them.
"I'm led to believe Hereford played very well when they came to Leeds and made it very difficult, but it's another game we feel we can go and win."
