The murky background to the club’s finances and behind the scenes management must be put to one side as the team focus on the one goal – promotion. It’s tight in the race for the Play-Off places and County lie 7th with a big chasing pack – Morecambe in 13th place
are only 2 points behind – so a win is a must. A decent first match in charge for Cotterill, at home to Hereford, and he will fancy the side’s chances – County have only lost once at home all season and Hereford have just one victory on the road so odds of 2/1 on for a County win look right. A home banker – get on it.

Time to get back to winning ways after 4 matches without a win and the fans will be hoping that some of the free-flowing goal feasts from the early part of the season will return. A thumping 3-0 win to get Cotterill’s reign under way can be backed at 10/1 or if Hughes & co are really up for it, then a repeat of the biggest win of the season against Bradford (5-0) is on offer at a massive 55/1. More cautious fans might see a more tense affair, even against a side in the lower reaches of the League – a nervy 1-0 win is 11/2 but would still be worth a valuable three points

Additionally, with Hereford having such a poor away record, you can back County to win without conceding a goal – Hereford have only scored 13 times in 15 matches so a win to nil at 6/4 also looks good value. Plus, good money should be on County scoring early to settle the nerves and opening up a comfortable victory – check out the odds on time of 1st goal:
