The finish line approaches

I have just heard that I will be paying a visit to Edgar Street on Saturday and I have my fingers crossed that I'll witness a great escape by the Bulls.

Hereford currently sit second from bottom of League Two with only the fixture against Torquay remaining. A win - and a defeat for Barnet who are playing at Burton - will guarantee safety. In fact even if the Bees can only manage a draw, the two teams will still swap places as Hereford have a better goal difference.

Burton seem to have got their act together which is encouraging. Gary Rowett took over as boss in mid-March and the Brewers have only lost twice in the last seven ties - then again they did let in eleven goals in those two games!

But they have shown a little fight and that's what Hereford will be banking on this weekend.

Unfortunately, visitors Torquay are still in with a good shout of automatic promotion and so have something to go for.

Bulls fans will be hoping that the Gulls' rivals for third place - Crawley and Southend - both score early goals against Accrington and already relegated Macclesfield respectively. You can bet that the news will filter down to the players - from the home support, if nowhere else!

Last weekend I watched as Walsall beat the drop and so I hope that the Hereford lads manage to make it two good news stories in one week.
