Hereford at under evens lacks appeal

I'd agree with that Frodo even though i'm not up to scratch with Hereford lately, i've not been since the middle of November.
Mansfield did paste us at their place and i wouldn't be suprised to see new signing Barry Conlon score a debut goal, he's been scoring goals in the lower leagues for some time now. I've no call or bet on the outcome but I'd of had Mansfield priced around 7/4 or 15/8 for this.
Here's a bit from tonights Hereford Times but it doesnt give much away.
Bulls aim to bounce back from cup upset
HEREFORD United will be looking to bounce back from their FA Cup defeat at Bristol Rovers when they entertain Mansfield Town in League 2 on Saturday, writes Richard Prime.
The Bulls missed out on a fourth round tie at Derby County when they went down to Richard Walker's first-half penalty at the Memorial Stadium last Friday.
But if United need any incentive to recover from that loss then they have only to cast their minds back to a bleak day at Field Mill in September when the Bulls gave perhaps their poorest display of the season to crash to a 4-1 defeat.

Richard Barker, who scored twice for the Stags that day, will not, however, be around to trouble Hereford on Saturday.
The 15-goal striker has left the Nottinghamshire club to join Hartlepool United as new manager Bill Dearden begins his re-building efforts to move the side away from the foot of the table.
As yet, Bulls chief Graham Turner has not made any additions to his squad in the transfer window despite making enquiries about a number of players.
He does, however, have one more player available for selection as midfielder Jon Wallis has returned to Edgar Street after completing a two-month loan spell with Dover Athletic.
With United just a point outside the play-off positions, Turner may be tempted to make some alterations to his side which has scored only three times in the past six matches. Andy Williams and Stuart Fleetwood, who are now both fit again, will be challenging Tim Sills and Alan Connell for starting places in attack.
In defence, Dean Beckwith is pressing for a return after injury and illness, although United have conceded only Walker's penalty in their last five matches.
Meanwhile on the South Coast, four former Hereford players will be anxiously pondering their futures after financial difficulties surfaced at Weymouth.
Midfielder Ben Smith, goalkeeper Matt Baker, defender Tony James and former loan striker Chukki Eribenne have all been part of the Terras squad which has climbed to seventh place in the Conference.
Good luck all
