No new problems for Pitman

08 April 2011 13:30
Jamie Pitman has no new injury or suspension problems to contend with as his Hereford side host champions-in-waiting Chesterfield looking to claw back their points deduction. The Bulls were on Wednesday docked three points for fielding an ineligible player in the February 1 clash against Torquay, a verdict the club are appealing but one which would see their current eight-point advantage over the bottom two cut to five. Pitman praised his side`s performance as they pushed second-placed Wycombe all the way on Tuesday before eventually having to settle for a goalless draw. He may well again keep faith with the same XI as the latest promotion challengers arrive at Edgar Street, which would mean an unchanged side for a third successive match after last Saturday`s 0-0 draw at play-off hopefuls Gillingham. On-loan striker Waide Fairhurst returned to the bench in midweek after illness and will again find himself in the matchday 18.
