Mix and match
With Joel Porter in imperious form during a difficult 2008/09 season, Chris Turner tried many short-term options to assist with the goalscoring burden. Kevin Kyle, Liam Henderson, Rune Lange and Danny Nardiello had already been tried with varying success when Lewis Guy, on loan from Doncaster, was handed a debut against Orient.
