Match Preview

Pitman mulls over Bulls' striking options Manager Jamie Pitman will hope to build on Hereford's 2-0 victory over Bradford when they host Barnet on Saturday. Forwards Delroy Facey, Sam Winnall and Yoann Arquin are all pushing for a recall but goals from Tom Barkhuizen and Steven Leslie against the Bantams may keep them out of the side again. First-choice keeper Adam Bartlett is still recovering from a thigh injury so on-loan Swansea youngster David Cornell may deputise again. Midfielder Joe Colbeck is unlikely to feature as he remains sidelined with a knee injury and Ryan Green is also a doubt as the defender has missed the Bulls' last three outings. Jamie Pitman's side will be looking to continue winning ways after last weekend's victory was their first in seven matches. Barnet striker Ricky Holmes needs a late fitness test. Holmes came off suffering with concussion for the second week running at the end of last Saturday's win over Aldershot and has missed some training, but he could still be passed fit. However, fellow forward Charlie Taylor starts a three-match ban after he pleaded guilty to an FA charge of spitting at an Aldershot player. Danny Senda is expected to miss out with a groin injury, and Jordan Parkes (ankle) still absent midfielder Mark Hughes may have to fill in at right-back. Left-back Gary Borrowdale has extended his loan spell from QPR until the end of December.

Match Report

Bulls bounce out of bottom two Hereford climbed out of the bottom two in npower League Two for the first time this season with a close fought 1-0 victory over fellow strugglers Barnet. Striker Nathan Elder broke the deadlock in the 66th minute when he headed home his first goal for the Bulls. Hereford were quickly on the offensive when Harry Pell headed against the crossbar from a cross by Joe Heath in the second minute. Midfielders Tom Barkuizen and Steve Leslie kept Barnet on the back foot as Hereford pushed forward. Barnett, however, went close to breaking the deadlock in the 17th minute when a powerful 20 yard shot from Mark Holmes was tipped over the crossbar by David Cornell. Goalkeeper Cornell also saved from Mark Hughes and Izale McLeod as the Bees stepped up a gear. Barnet continued to stretch the Hereford defence but Jordan Parkes swept in a long range shot forcing Cornell to claw the ball out of the air. But back at the other end goalkeeper Liam O'Brien made a fine save when he tipped a 30-yard free kick from midfielder Leslie over the bar. Leslie was also denied in the 36th minute when Gary Borrowdale blocked his shot in front of the goalmouth. Five minutes into the second period, O'Brien saved the game with another free kick by Leslie at the foot of the post as Hereford piled on the pressure. O'Brien kept the Bulls at bay with further saves from Leslie and Richard Featherstone before Hereford broke the deadlock. Featherstone swept in a corner from the left to Elder who headed past O'Brien from close range. One minute later, only a block from Hereford skipper Stefen Stam stopped Darren Dennehay equalising for Barnet. Ricky Holmes also rifled the ball against the home crossbar, but Hereford held firm.
