Herd joined the Shots in 2009 after four years with Shrewsbury

Aldershot Town's FA Cup first round replay against Brentford gives them an ideal chance to improve their home form, says defender Ben Herd.

The Shots have only won two of their seven League Two games at the EBB Stadium this season, scoring six goals.

Herd told BBC Surrey: "Last year it was impossible to take points off us at home but we haven't made it a hard place to come this season.

"We've got to turn it around and Tuesday will be a good opportunity."

But the 25-year old believes League One Brentford will be the favourites to win the match and set up a second round tie away to Dover Athletic.

"They're the league above and Andy Scott has got manager of the month," he said.

"We've got to prepare ourselves and be up for the challenge. We're confident of playing well and getting a result."
