Pressure is still on - Pitman

Jamie Pitman insists the pressure on his Hereford side will not be lifted until they are mathematically safe from relegation. Saturday`s goalless draw at Rotherham extended the Bulls` unbeaten run to four matches - all of which have impressively come against teams battling for promotion. The result, with the inclusion of their recent three-point deduction for fielding an ineligible player, leaves Hereford six points clear of danger with 12 left to play for. That means United`s League Two status could be clinched over the forthcoming Easter weekend. But asked if he feels the pressure is rising off his shoulders, Bulls boss Pitman replied: "No, not at all. Not until it`s mathematically safe. "Don`t forget I was here (as a player) when we were 11 points clear and we got caught so until we`re mathematically safe, no. "I`m not going to let the players think that and we`re not going to think that as a group of staff because if we do that then it could come and bite us on the backside."
