MATCH QUOTES

“When people talk about pressure they always assume it is fear. “It is not. I am just anxious about doing a good job. “I am trying to get things together properly. [Turner had been in charge since the summer of 1984] “I understand the fans’ frustrations but I believe changes were necessary. “We have been unlucky because injuries came at a time we could least afford them and have exposed the squad.” Graham Turner.
