CARETAKER boss Phil Robinson believes Hereford United's Tuesday night win was just the tonic his side needed ahead of tonight's Nationwide Conference clash with in-form Leigh RMI (7.45).

The Bulls ran out 4-2 winners against Farnborough Town, ending a string of disappointing performances which had seen them win just once in nine matches and persuaded Director of Football Graham Turner to relinquish control of first team affairs.

Hereford need to find their best form against the Railwaymen who have won four of their last five matches following a disastrous start to the season which saw them lose six of their opening eight fixtures.

But Robinson says the Bulls' win has lifted his players' confidence, and expects to name an unchanged side tonight.

"It was a great win for the lads and was just what the doctor ordered," he said.

"A lot of pressure had started to mount and in front of their home fans they were under the cosh to put in a good performance.

"They played very enthusiastically and importantly started to enjoy their football.

"They passed the ball very well and worked extremely hard. The crowd really got behind the team and that helped as well."

But Robinson is well aware that the trip to Hilton Park will need another good showing from his side.

"They're in a run of form and won 3-1 at Morecambe in the week so it will be a really tough test."

Scott Voice grabbed his second goal in consecutive games against Farnborough but Robinson was reluctant to single out individuals for praise.

"I made a point after the match of not singling anybody out because, although there were a couple of outstanding performances, everybody gave so much effort and put their penny's worth in," added Robinson.

"The performance was all about the team and that is what matters not individuals."

Meanwhile Leigh manager Steve Waywell reflected on an outstanding 3-1 win at Morecambe and admitted that his tactics had paid off.

"We knew that Morecambe liked to play it from the back so I told Marcus Hallows and Michael Twiss to pressurise their centre-halves." commented Waywell.

"We set our stall out not to concede and catch them on the break. But it was the front two who I thought ran them ragged."
