Much younger squad this time says Turner

Going into the Play-offs comparisons will be made between this years squad and that of two years ago.

At that time players such as Steve Guinan and Matt Baker were in the side.

However Graham Turner has told BBC Hereford and Worcester that he is pleased with his competitive side.

"I think we have done quite well to replace some of the players we've lost in the last two seasons. I think we've done okay in replacing them.

"The age of the side and the squad as a whole is very much younger."

However he appears disappointed that his strikers haven't scored that many goals.

"Our leading goalscorer hasn't reached double figures yet, so that is one of the problems.

"Having said that, we've had seventeen or eighteen goal scorers which is an incredible record, and they've been spread throughout the side.

"Obviously, that has been a problem; the strikers have not come in with as many goals as we would have liked."

Looking at the other sides likely to be in the Play-offs Turner continued:

"There's some good sides in there; we've obviously started the preparations and we want to have each of them looked at.

"It looks as though it's going to be either Stevenage or Morecambe that will drop out but of the rest, we want to make sure we have a picture of what they are about.

"Grays have stuck the course extremely well; I thought with the amount of games they had left they might start to slip up, but to go up to Scarborough and win 7-2, that's an excellent result."
