Turner looks to LDV success

Graham Turner has told the Worcester News that he would like to see his team do well in the LDV competition again this season.

"We were unlucky to lose the area semi-final last year," said Turner. "We played well and should have got a better result against Wrexham.

"It would be nice to get that far again. We want to go as far in the competition as we can.

"Port Vale are a decent side and play at a very good level. But we've proved that we are capable of beating these sides. We showed that against Mansfield and last season against Blackpool, Scunthorpe and Doncaster.

"We enjoy playing the better sides. When we play against them, we tend to find more room to play good football. You think it's going to be a tight game, but it doesn't tend to happen that way.

"Some teams haven't played their strongest side in the LDV Vans Trophy and that has surprised me. If other teams decide to play weakened sides, so be it."
