GT: Back To Basics

Speaking to the official website, Graham Turner said it was time to get back to the basics:

"It's a big game for us and we've had a frustrating wait since our last game here against Stockport. Although I didn?t think there was much between the two sides in that game, the result was disappointing and you want to get out and play again as soon as possible to try and get that out of your system. On the day the game was fairly even but unfortunately we came up against a team who got ahead and never looked like relinquishing the lead. Defensively they came here full of confidence and that meant we were always up against it once we went behind.

"What we have to do is get back to basics defensively and put right the fact that we've conceded 12 goals in our last 5 games. That simply isn't good enough and as a team we need to improve that. When we keep clean sheets we praise the whole team so now the whole team has to take responsibility for the goals we?ve been conceding. Although it's been a difficult week weather wise, we had a really good session on Thursday, looked at everything we wanted to and hopefully that will make the difference on Saturday."
