We must not be complacent says Turner

Graham Turner has told the Evening News that tomorrow's Trophy game at Eastwood won't be easy.

"We've had reports on Eastwood and the main thing we've picked up is that they have not been too complimentary about the pitch. That is going to be the first thing to overcome," said Turner.

"We've got to adjust to the surface. If it's as bad as people have said, it will be difficult to get the ball down and play our usual game.

"They deserve to be in this round of the competition after the results they've had and we know how big the game is for them. I think they will be up for it and give us a hard fight. It's a dangerous one for us but we've done our homework on them.

"I don't think we'll be complacent. The biggest obstacle to overcome is making sure we match their work-rate because they will be out to play above themselves in front of their home supporters.

"They have got a good individual goalscorer in Peter Knox. He missed their last game with injury but he could play and will be fresh.

"I think it would be an ideal situation if we could score early and dampen the atmosphere a bit. That would make it for an easy afternoon. We've got to stand up to the challenge, whether it's the atmosphere, the conditions or the opposition."
