Lee Richardson revealed on SPIREITES WORLD news of injury set-backs ahead of this weekend's trip to in-form Hereford United . Read highlights from the interview right here.

We have lost three players from Wednesday night Jack Lester , Derek Niven , and Gregor Robertson will all miss out. Gregor is the most serious with a damaged gluteus minimus muscle on his hip. We think it may have come off the bone, and he may be out for some time. Derek Niven's got a sore toe and that's one of the reason's he came off on Wednesday night, and that's not recovered in time. Jack's got a swollen ankle and Peter Leven's struggling a bit with his knee, but we hope Peter will be okay.

So with Adam Smith also out we are down to the bare bones and may bring Josh Law back. But we have a dilemma really with Josh  of whether to bring him back for one game as hopefully Jack and Derek will be fit for the home game against Brentford next Saturday. I also hope to be able to add a couple of new faces next week to the squad.

But we still have a few options and I have a clear picture in my mind of what we will do and how we will try and do it. But these things happen from time to time. So we have to regroup use the squad and hopefully put a team together that will nullify Hereford and get something from the game.

I watched Hereford on Tuesday night and Rochdale couldn't handle Hereford's front two stroke three who were a real threat and very dangerous. Hooper and McDonald caused Rochdale lots of problems. McDonalds really on form since his loan move from West Brom and Hooper's got lots of pace, so we couldn't really have a much tougher game.

But we have seen this season we can beat the better teams but also lose and under perform to some of the so called lesser teams. But it will be tough and if we can manage not to gift any goals away then we will have a chance. That's really got to be our focus from now until the end of the season not to give silly goals away and then we will have more than a chance.
