Turner reviews the season to-date
Speaking to BBC Hereford & Worcester, Graham Turner appears happy with the season so far.
"We worked through pre-season with the notion of getting things into place, but when you start the real competitive games the first test comes and we were fortunate against Farnborough but it was a hard fought victory and I think that set us up to go to Forest Green. I thought it was an outstanding performance there but we know that Forest Green have had their problems and we probably caught them just about right. The two set-backs against Gravesend and Morecambe were obviously disappointments and it would appear now that they were just a blip. We have got to say that the games since have been very pleasing and some of the performances have been excellent. Certainly we have been passing the ball better than any time since I have been at the club apart from probably the first season."
He went on to talk about the games against Chester and Yeovil and how he hoped his young side would cope. "Sometimes when you get players, particularly young players, complacency can creep in and I think everyone was congratulating each other after the victory on television on Monday and all that goes with it," continued Turner. "If there had been a lesser side coming then that danger of complacency might just have been there but it is Chester. Everyone in our dressing-room is aware of their start to the season and then you follow that with Yeovil, the pre-season favourites; two good games to come back home to, there will be no sign of complacency there at all.
"If we get our passing game going, I am sure we are capable of causing Chester problems and with a slice of luck take all three points."
Turner continued: "It has been a strange start to the season. We have played six matches, four of them away which has caused us cash-flow problems when three consecutive Saturdays we are scheduled to play away. We would have loved Yeovil on a Saturday as I am sure they would have brought a big following. So two games at home so far; one a victory against Farnborough which was a decent, hard worked for result, and then the blip against Morecambe where I did not think we played badly but we were handicapped by conceding two break-away goals and although we huffed and puffed in the second half, we were not able to break them down to get some points which I thought we deserved. But now we have got to start making Edgar Street a little bit of a fortress if we are going to do anything this season. We have to have a sucessful home record. That has got to start over these next two matches which I think will be a severe test of our credentials as to whether we are capable of being a top four or five side."
