  • PRE-MATCH
  • -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Hereford have made the trip to Lancashire to face Chorley this afternoon.
  • The Bulls are looking to bounce back from 3-0 defeat at home to King's Lynn last weekend.
  • Boss Aaron Downes blamed his side for conceding two soft goals inside the opening 14 minutes and said afterwards the Bulls lacked a clinical edge up front.
  • Three defeats in their last four league games has seen Hereford knocked off the top of the National League North. The Bulls are down to fourth position, but are just three points off the top.
  • Downes says there is 'no panic' following his side's run of results.
  • The Magpies have also hit a sticky patch of form in recent weeks.
  • This match was almost postponed, until Chorley were beaten in an FA Cup replay against Worcester. Since then, the hosts have lost two of their last three matches, including a 2-0 defeat at Spennymoor last weekend.
