Competition for places

Graham Turner faces an unusual problem concerning tomorrow's game against Stevenage. He has to leave out a couple of fit players!

He told BBC Hereford and Worcester of his problem. "Ian Wright, who came off at Northwich after half an hour, has recovered from jarring his knee. I've got a selection problem.

"It's a lovely problem as a manager to keep everybody on their toes. If they don't perform, they are not in next week. You also have that feeling that if players are left out you want them to accept the situation and still feel part of things and make sure they are ready to come in next week against Yeovil. And we also have that ability to change the system. I did not feel we could go all the way to Margate after a five hour journey and not give the players a fresh challenge which they responded well to.

"Things are looking very bright in terms of individual personnel, the way they adapt to the system, the fitness and organisation of the team and it's going to be a part of the season. It makes a change for us to be in contention at this stage. We are in there amongst the leading clubs and we hope to be there at the end of the season."
