Match preview Vs Hereford FCVenue: Edgar StreetDate: 01-01-20Kick off: 15:00hrs |
A week ago the Harriers saw off the feeble threat of Hereford FC to kick off the festive fixtures with a win. Two goals from Oliver Shenton and the third from Ashley Hemmings gave the Reds the bragging rights for the two counties and also going into the return game at Edgar Street tomorrow afternoon.
Let’s not go overboard though because we all know that tomorrow is a different day and could have a different outcome. It’s down to us to make sure that it won’t happen.
A few days later we went to Brackley Town and lost the game in the second half after almost destroying them in the first. We had peppered Danny Lewis’ goal during the first half but had nothing to show for our efforts then in the second half we shot ourselves in the foot with unneeded injuries and a second red card in a matter of days when Rhys Williams lost all his usual composure and went in two footed on a Brackley player.
Against Hereford Ryan Johnson picked up a second yellow converted to red after the referee believed he had fouled Keiran Thomas but pictorial and video evidence showed there was no contact and that Thomas had blatantly dived. Where was VAR when you need it most?
As it is neither red card will kick in until next Saturday when we meet Blyth Spartans at Aggborough with Johnson missing that game and Williams missing that and two more following.
Both clubs have dispensed with a player, permanent or otherwise, on the eve of the game with Mike Symons leaving Hereford to join Weston super Mare while for the Harriers Brandon Diau has joined up with Redditch Utd for a month to give him some game time. Symons leaving Hereford is a little surprising seeing as they lack strikers in the first place with him and Reece Styche being the only two with experience.
Victor Sodeinde played and scored against Leamington FC in their home defeat to them on Saturday but he picked up a knock late on and will face a fitness test first as will Jordan Nicholson. Martin Riley will continue to be out with a dislocated shoulder. For us we’ll follow similar plans for Ashley Chambers (hamstring), Declan Weeks (foot) and Ollie Shenton (unknown injury) before the game.
Boxing Day may have been an easy win for us in the end after Hereford threatened very little but tomorrow will be different. They now have to raise their game if they don’t want to see a third defeat in a row and if they want to keep their fans happy. And boy, are they unhappy!
