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.
