HEREFORD United will be put to the test tomorrow night when West Bromwich Albion roll into town (7.45).

The Bulls have eased into their pre-season so far with a 4-0 victory at Pegasus Juniors and a 1-0 success at Bath.

But the visit of Tony Mowbray's Baggies is a major step up in opposition, particularly given the strength of the Albion side expected.

Although the Championship play-off finalists cruised to a 5-1 win at Northampton on Wednesday, Mowbray is still bringing quality to Edgar Street.

Paul Robinson, Nathan Ellington and Ronnie Wallwork are included on a teamsheet that Hereford manager Graham Turner says has "10 recognisable names".

There could also be run-outs for ex-Aston Villa striker Kevin Phillips, midfielder Zoltan Gera and new signing Filipe Teixeira.

Hereford will continue to run the rule over several trialists including Lionel Ainsworth, former Darlington centre-half Joey Hutchinson, Simon Johnson, Chris Zebroski and goalkeeper Adam Collin.

Ainsworth and Johnson caught the eye at Bath on Tuesday with the latter scoring the only goal on 69 minutes.

Left-sided player Johnson, a 24-year-old former England Under 20 international who began his career with Leeds, seized on a pass from ex-Derby County man Ainsworth.

Bulls chief Turner said: "We are looking at trialists who will take part in the game. It's about match practice for the players. We need to start getting match sharpness.

"There's probably going to be 10 recognisable names for West Brom so it's going to be a strong side. We won at Bath on Tuesday which, with respect to Pegasus, was our first competitive game."

Turner also confirmed the match should go ahead despite more rain falling on the re-laid pitch today.

It has held up well to the elements but last Saturday's match with Bristol City was called off because of poor travelling conditions, as well as to protect the surface.

Turner added: "We had been told that the flood water was likely to reach as far as the Legends Bar on Saturday morning but, nevertheless, when we arrived the groundstaff were cutting the pitch."
