The Bulls are back on the road this Saturday as they travel to County Durham to take on Darlington.
Hereford will be looking to build on a fantastic 4-0 home win last time out in the league against Marine.
“Four goals at home and a clean sheet is brilliant, I genuinely still think we can play better but it was a brilliant reaction to what has been a difficult few days for us,” said Paul Caddis.
It was a big three points for the Bulls after two losses against Oxford City and Chester in which they failed to score.
The big win however was tainted by a poor performance last Saturday in a 1-0 loss at home to Brentwood Town in the FA Trophy.
Hereford go into the game on Saturday in 7th on 27 points, five behind Chorley in first.
Darlington have had mixed fortunes so far this season with five wins, seven draws and five losses which has them sat in 14th on 22 points, five behind the Bulls.
The Quakers have been strong at home this season with just one loss at Blackwell Meadows in the league which was on the opening day against Kidderminster.
Unlike Hereford, Darlington are coming off the back of progressing in the FA Trophy with a 1-0 victory courtesy of a Cedric Main last-minute winner.
In the league, they are also in good form at the moment with just one loss in the last five.
Steve Watson’s side were fighting for survival last season, finishing in 16th, six points above the relegation zone.
The travelling Hereford fans will be hoping for a first win at Darlington since 2019 on Saturday.

One to Watch:
Cedric Main (DARLINGTON):
Main is in great form at the moment with three goals in his last four appearances in all competitions including a 90th-minute winner last Saturday.
The forward was on loan at Blyth from York City last season where he scored seven in 14 appearances in the league before joining the Quakers permanently in the summer.
Watson will be hoping his striker can continue his goalscoring form on Saturday.
