Ben Turner has said that the entire camp are focused on the Fulham game because they know it’s a great opportunity for us to take a proper step forward in our hopes of Premiership survival this season.
Following on from our recent results and defeats, Turner told the Official Site that there can be no hiding by the players when it comes to the challenge that we face this season and it’s plainly obvious to everyone that we need to keep more clean sheets and score goals.
Hopefully he hopes this will happen this weekend.
‘Hopefully one can go in and from that more goals will follow. A goal can light up a team, especially a team that’s struggling for goals. We’ll keep working on it in training to be more of an attacking threat. There’s no getting away from the fact that it’ll take hard hours and a lot of belief. We need to believe that we’re going to score when the ball is in the box.’
Turner goes on to say that Saturday’s game against Fulham can’t be described as anything else now other than the ‘biggest game’ for us, and if there was ever the proverbial ‘must win six pointer’ it is this game as with ten left we need to close that gap and quickly so we are in the mix to capitalise on a few others making mistakes.
One thing that’s unquestionable. If we fail to win the games we need to, we are down, so it’s in our hands and we need to see that kind of reaction.
Following on from the Spurs performance, despite it being another loss, he does admit that we’ll go into the game having taken the positives and we’ll be looking to turn those positives into points now, and within the team there is the belief that we need to win at least five or our remaining ten matches to have any hope of survival now this season.
Even that would make it tight, but 15 points more on the board should definitely give us a shot. The sooner we can get them the better.
