Changes for Peterborough Match says Turner

Graham Turner says he will change his starting eleven for tomorrow's game at Peterborough. He dropped Andy Williams and Sam Gwynne for last Tuesday's match at Millwall but both may be recalled.

"You always believe as a manager that you can get a result in every game and the players have to do the same," said Turner as reported by the Peterborough press.

"In our current situation it is important that we hold the belief that the next match is the turning point. That means we have to believe we can go away to Peterborough and, with a little bit of luck here and there, get our season going.

"It will be our fifth game in 15 days which is an extremely hard programme.

"I sensed it was time to give some lads a breather against Millwall and took the opportunity to put some fresh legs in.

"I thought we did okay in that game and showed plenty of energy, but we will start again with a new selection at Peterborough.

"It is only natural that the lads feel under pressure because they don't want to be the one that makes a mistake.

"No-one wants to make that costly misplaced pass or give up possession in their own half, but we got into League One by playing football and that's what we have to carry on doing.

"I still believe it will be enough to keep us there but we have got to be confident in our ability.

"We haven't quite got the flowing football right just yet and sometimes we have been guilty of taking the easy option and knocking the ball long instead of working it.

"We've changed things since the debacle at Oldham when we were very, very poor and we have looked a little bit more solid as a result.

"Obviously there's a concern now that, no matter who we're playing, we're not scoring goals so that's something we've got to try to address."
