Turley played for them on Saturday.

Moments like penalty save at Sheffield stand out, and also the awful wander to the corner flag at Luton!!

[sussexdiamond]

Just read that if scores level aet we go straight to penalty shoot out.
If I recall correctly Turley scored one of the penalties in the 5-5 shoot out with Sheffield.

i remember him taking one against millwall, in the league cup.

Your memory is clearly better than mine!

Finished 4-3 to Brackley. At 3-0 down after around 20 minutes the score line was respectable in the end. Typical Turner and Joseph type finishes and a brilliant diving header from Brad Harris for AFC. Bit harsh to criticise the young keeper but a more experience player may have done better to prevent the first three, although he had a quiet second half. Although we never want to lose I don't think we'll be too disappointed that we've exited from this competition

If we'd had a half decent keeper it might have been a different story.

Brackley worked very well as a unit I thought though.

[BartonRaz]

Yeah, I don't know anything about the 'keeper, his background etc, but he had a tough debut. All 4 goals preventable from his point of view, particularly the first and second.

Brackley had some good players out last night which makes our performance all the better, particularly after a disastrous start. Shaun Jeffers who scored the first 2 goals has played for Coventry and Peterborough, and spent most of last season with Newport County.

Difficult night for a keeper to make his debut ,and he clearly told Jamal to play the ball away for the second goal,and was ignored, but I agree he had a bit of a mare with goals 1 and 3. Speaking to Skippy during the game it was their normal first team with the exception of 3 players, one of whom was Turley of course, so our performance ( once we got past the first 20 minutes) looks pretty good considering - I think their management team was quite impressed.
