Turner has to rely on youth

With at least five of the squad unavailable for the Stevenage game on Monday, Graham Turner will have to hope that his younger players can cope.

"You think of Tony James, Jamie Pitman, Guy Ipoua, Stacy Coldicott recovering from his injury, and now Alex Jeannin's suspended for four matches, so that's a big chunk of our experienced players missing," Turner told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"The youngsters did ever so well for us (against Aldershot last Tuesday) and we now got two nineteen year-olds up front who played exceptionally well in the first half and got a goal each.

"Even with the rest of the side there is not an awful lot of experience in there but what we had was terrific enthusiasm. That was there in adundance and I think we got the rewards for that."
