The Bulls are at home again on Saturday as they host Marine.
Hereford will be looking to return to winning ways after a disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Oxford City last Tuesday.
“We did not create enough in the first half, I think we lacked intensity. In the second half, we were down to 10 men so we had to try and defend which we did well up until the 86th minute but yeah it wasn’t a great night,” said Paul Caddis following the loss to Oxford City.
Despite the loss, the Bulls still occupy a play-off spot as they sit in seventh.
Marine on the other hand have had a slow season so far with just three wins, four draws and seven losses which has them sat in 22nd, four points off safety.
They are however coming off the back of an impressive 3-0 home win against second-place Chorley.
Their last away game was also a fairly successful one with a 0-0 draw away to Kidderminster.
Prior to last Tuesday’s win, the Mariners were struggling for goals with just four scored in the previous 13 league games.
Neil Young’s side were promoted out of the Northern Premier League last season after beating Macclesfield in the play-offs.
The Edgar Street faithful will be hoping their side can improve their home form with a win this Saturday.

One to Watch:
Enock Lusiama (MARINE):
Young’s side have been struggling for goals this season, so when Lusiama scored twice in the 3-0 home win against Chorley he instantly became their joint top scorer along with Bradley Holmes.
The Spaniard arrived from former club Halesowen back in September and has only made three starts in the league.
Marine fans will be hoping he can build on his great performance against Chorley.
