Crawley difficult to break down

Yet again, Graham Turner has made the excuse that the opposition was difficult to break down for his sides goal-less draw with Crawley Town this afternoon. Interviewed on BBC Hereford and Worcester, he also admitted that the Bulls didn't take the few chances they created.

"Crawley came and played with a very defensive formation, a 4-1-4-1, one sole striker, and we didn't break them down. And the few chances we had, we didn't take them.

"A game like this, there aren't going to be many chances. When they come along you have got to score them and that's the disappointment."

Reminded that Crawley went down to ten men, Turner didn't think it made much difference.

"There were always plenty of men goalside of the box, always plenty of men defending in their penalty area.

"We made one or two changes during the course of the game. We've had six potential goal-scorers on, four strikers on at the end."

Turner put some of the blame for the lack of goals onto the pitch.

"The pitch has got bobbly and the flowing football becomes difficult because they have to take a little bit more care with the bobbly ball. It slows the attacks down, it slows the momentum down, but we are still trying to pass it.

"There is a lot of pressure with ten games left."
