Match Preview
Millers set for Bulls New signing Kern Miller is in contention to make his debut for Hereford at home to managerless Bristol Rovers. The centre-back, who started training with the Bulls in November, finally penned a deal from Barnsley on Monday and will immediately vie for a starting berth in manager Jamie Pitman's XI. United were last in action on January 2 as they ended a nine-match winless run with victory at Burton and Pitman could well name an unchanged side. On-loan midfielder Tom Barkhuizen has extended his stay from Blackpool until the end of the season and will be available, while Simon Clist has turned his loan move into a permanent deal. Rob Purdie returns to the frame having missed the encounter at Burton due to a one-match suspension, but Steve Leslie, who had only played a bit-part role, has went back to Shrewsbury upon the completion of his three-month loan stay. Bristol Rovers are sweating over the fitness of striker Matt Harrold. Harrold missed the 3-1 home defeat to Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday because of an ankle injury and is unlikely to be fit in time for the visit to Edgar Road. In his potential absence, Mustapha Carayol and Eliot Richards will continue to lead the line for Rovers. Goalkeeper Scott Bevan is also fighting to be fit following a calf problem, but on-loan stopper Michael Poke is expected to keep his place between the sticks. Defender Adam Virgo (knee ligaments) and midfielder Wayne Brown (ankle) remain long-term absentees for the Pirates, who are still searching for their first league win since the end of October.

Match Report
Rovers rock Bulls Managerless Bristol Rovers ended a run of five straight defeats with a 2-1 victory over 10-man Hereford at Edgar Street. Eliot Richards rifled a low 25-yard shot inches wide of a post before Lee Brown put the Pirates ahead in the ninth minute, drilling his shot past goalkeeper Adam Bartlett into the far corner of the net. Hereford responded with Tom Barkhuizen having an overhead volley deflected by Cian Bolger over the Rovers crossbar in the 17th minute and striker Yoann Arquin also hooked the ball wide following a free-kick from Benoit Dalibard. Rovers goalkeeper Michael Poke then came to his side's rescue when he turned a rasping 25-yard shot from Will Evans around a post. But Hereford levelled four minutes into the second half through striker Delroy Facey, who latched onto a long ball from Dalibard before beating Poke from five yards. Barkhuizen went close to putting Hereford in front when he picked up a pass from Arquin but his long-range drive flashed wide of a post. Hereford were reduced to 10 men in the 55th minute when Dalibard was sent off by referee Carl Boyeson for a dangerous foul on Richards. Substitute Nathan Elder had an overhead effort cleared off the line by Andy Dorman before Scott McGleish came off the bench to head home the winner for Rovers in the 72nd minute following a Richards cross.
