AFTER their two-week lay-off, Hereford made two changes for the trip to Valley Parade.

Janos Kovacs returned to the back-line for his first start since early September with Matt Lund given a first start in central midfield alongside Kenny Lunt.

Guillem Bauza and Mathieu Manset started in place of Stuart Fleetwood and Sean Canham, who were on the substitutes’ bench, where they were joined by James McQuilkin.

Both Rob Purdie and Richard Rose missed out through illness.
