Hereford United players will be striving to impress this Saturday, only eight days ahead of their televised FA Cup clash with Second Division Wrexham.

But old adversaries Doncaster Rovers should provide a stiff test for the Bulls, who will be aiming to chalk up a confidence-boosting home win in the Nationwide Conference.

Hereford player-coach Phil Robinson said that most of the squad was now fit and added that nobody would be automatically guaranteed a place in the starting line-up.

Robinson said: "It is natural that players want to play in big games against a league team and on television. And the players picked to play against Doncaster on Saturday will be keen to put in a good performance in order to stay in the team for the Wrexham match.

"If somebody plays well in the reserves, for instance, and can improve the first team, then they will be given a chance.

"No doubt the players are thinking about the cup game, although I have made an effort not to speak to them about it.

"I have got to get the players focussed for Saturday because it's just as important that we put on a good performance against Doncaster, who are a strong and organised team."

Robinson added: "Doncaster were one of the fancied teams at the start of the season and have good players, such as Justin Jackson, Mark Sale and Paul Barnes. We have had them watched and will be working on ways to try to break them down and exploit their weaker areas."

The Bulls hastily arranged a training game at home to Swansea City last night to give a number of players much-needed match practice. It followed a decision by Boston United to pull out of a reserve team fixture. Robinson, himself, hoped to return to action after a lengthy lay-off.

Meanwhile, Hereford have extended the loan deal of Birmingham City's Tony Capaldi for a further two months, but have decided not to renew the three-month contract of former Swansea youngster Kristian James.

l Ahead of Saturday's meeting in the Legends Bar to help decide on the future of financially-troubled United, Herefordshire Council Leader Terry James has reaffirmed his view that their best prospects were to remain at Edgar Street rather than to relocate.

Property developers Chelverton and club directors will be among those at the meeting which has been called by Hereford United Independent Supporters' Associa-tion for 11.30 am.

The main subject on the agenda does, however, appear to be relocation as a means of paying off debts owed to developers.
