HEREFORD United boss Graham Turner wants his side to maintain the commitment levels shown in the draws with Nationwide Conference high-fliers Chester City and Yeovil Town.

The Edgar Street chief stressed it was important for the Bulls to beat the lower sides and avoid defeat against the top teams if they wished to remain in the promotion frame.

Fifth-placed United, unbeaten in their last four games, travel to Stevenage Borough this Saturday and then to newly-promoted Kettering Town on Tuesday.

He said: "We have just played two of the fancied sides in the section and, in the main, we have matched them.

"If we remain at that tempo for the next two games, then we will not go too far wrong."

Midfielder Paul Parry could return from an ankle injury, while Michael Rose should continue, despite breaking a bone is his wrist against Chester.

Playmaker Ben Smith is visiting a specialist today about his injured shoulder.
