GRAHAM Turner is hoping for two favourable results by 5pm tomorrow -- one at Edgar Street and another at the Kit Kat Crescent.

Hereford United enter the derby showdown against Kidderminster Harriers still believing they can mastermind the mother of all shocks by catching runaway leaders Accrington Stanley.

Three weeks ago, the East Lancastrians looked out of sight. But after drawing 2-2 with the Bulls and being held by Stevenage Borough, Stanley slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Southport in arguably the biggest Conference shock of the season.

Stanley's Tuesday setback proved to be their first league loss since October.

And while John Coleman's side remain 11 points clear of second-placed United, they have played an extra game and face a stern test of character tomorrow at play-off hopefuls York City, arguably the league's form side.

If the Minstermen inflict more misery, Turner reckons Stanley may begin to feel the heat.

"It has been a good week in respect of Accrington losing at Southport," said the Bulls director of football. "That has given us a chink of light.

"It's an opportunity, but we are looking at Accrington coming unstuck a couple more times.

"From the vibes coming out of different clubs, Accrington have been a little bit fortunate in recent matches.

"It was perhaps on the cards that they would lose, although I have to admit I did not expect Southport to get the better of them.

"They have got to play York tomorrow and, there's no doubt about it, they are the form team right now and it's a significant game for them. Accrington might just feel the pressure if they lose."

In view of a gruelling end of season in wait, including a probable play-off campaign, Turner handed his players two days' rest this week.

Full-back Ryan Green returned to training after missing last Saturday's 1-0 victory at Burton Albion with a hamstring strain, while striker Guy Ipoua and the versatile Simon Travis are approaching full fitness.

Centre-back Dean Beckwith will be fit for the visit of Harriers, while on-loan winger Daryl Taylor is back from suspension.

A crowd of more than 4,000 is expected for the first meeting between the two sides at Edgar Street since December 1999.

Turner anticipates a cautious approach from Harriers following their 4-1 humiliation at the hands of Aldershot last weekend.

He added: "Their (Harriers) intention most likely is to make sure, as a team, that they are better organised and defend better.

"They will want to appease their supporters after last week's disappointment. I don't necessarily think they will come here to play defensively, but they will be much more organised."
