HEREFORD United manager Graham Turner has been reflecting on his side's early season form which has seen them chalk up three wins and score 11 goals.

The Edgar Street boss, who takes his team to face Martin Allen's Barnet side today, has been delighted with the manner in which the results have been achieved to date.

"We have scored a lot of goals and we have played extremely well and that's the pleasing thing," he said. "It's never easy at the start of the season. Everybody is fired up, everybody thinks they are going to have a good season.

"Morecambe are a well fancied team, second best team in the League last season. To have got a win in the style that we have done is a terrific achievement for us. I think there were some terrific passing movements.

"It was creative at times and that speaks volumes for the standard of the Conference.

"There are a lot of full-time teams in there

who work very hard at the game and we are no exception.

"What we have done on the training ground we are now seeing in matches and we have got some talented players. Not the biggest, not the strongest but some talented players and that's in evidence at the moment."

Turner was pleased with the team ethic of his players but is also happy with individual performances.

"Ben Smith is a forward running mid-field player, eye for a goal and he has started the season off in fine style," he said.

"But there were so many good performances it is difficult to pick out individuals. It was a magnificent team performance.

"Rob Purdie has got terrific technique, great endurance, wants to work. He's got good pace. He's had a man of the match award. All those sorts of things do the world of good for a young player."
