Bulls can beat Leeds, says Samson

Bulls keeper Craig Samson arrived at Edgar Street from Dundee in July

Hereford United goalkeeper Craig Samson says the spirit in the side is good and feels that the Bulls can beat Leeds United at Edgar Street on Saturday.

"We will be going all out for a win," Samson told BBC Hereford and Worcester. "We are at home and it might be Leeds but we are capable of winning."

Samson is also happy with his own form since finally getting a first-team run.

"The results are not what we want but for me personally it's good to get some games under my belt," he added.

Samson, who played almost 100 games in the Scottish League before moving south, has had an in and out time of it since his summer move from Dundee.

After appearing in two early season games in August, he then had one Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie in October before appearing in the two FA Cup ties against Dagenham and Redbridge in November.

We don't give up and I don't think anyone can accuse us of not giving 100 per cent

He then came off the bench when on-loan Matt Murray broke down in the defeat at MK Dons with a knee injury. And, although boss Graham Turner then brought in another loan keeper, Chris Weale from Bristol City, when he also got injured, Samson was this time given a proper chance.

He has now played the last four games, his longest first team run. And, after helping his side to successive home draws against Hartlepool and Tranmere Rovers, he claims the Bulls were unlucky not to get a point on Sunday at League One leaders Leicester.

"In the first half they were the better side," he said. "But I thought we did well and the last 10 minutes we had a couple of chances.

"When we pulled a goal back the lads got a lift.

"We felt we could score again and we put them under pressure but it wasn't to be.

"We don't give up and I don't think anyone can accuse us of not giving 100 per cent."
