Turner is absolutely crap

Sat Feb 01, 2014 4:05 pm

Should just release him. He's more damaging to our aims than anything.

No he's not

Complete liability. Good for throwing himself in front of the ball when it's being belted toward our goal, but more often than not it's his fault they've even got the ball anywhere near our goal in the first place.

Turner did well today. God knows how many blocks and tackles and his passing was better. 1 clearance which went straight in the air.

Yes he did make a few great blocks but he puts pressure in himself by allowing the opposition to turn him inside out!

I will be first to put my hand up for criticizing big T, but he is definitely improving, my only concern is he needs to look for his man before contesting because he wins a lot of balls, but usually hits it to the opposition, he won a clear header today and nodded it to Norwich. Keep on improving T :thumbright:

Cala will replace him soon. Decent CB.

Normally good defensively even if his distribution is poor but today he was poor all around

Re: Turner is absolutely crap

Not a big fan of his hoofball tactics but i thought it was very windy out there today and a few players including Turner didnt cope with it well at all

Were you one of the throbbers mocking Whitts today?

Re: Turner is absolutely crap

Sat Feb 01, 2014 7:23 pm

The wind was playing havoc with the flight of the ball today which is why he allowed a few of them to bounce as it was impossible to anticipate.

After the first 30 mins where the entire team was conference standard he picked himself up quite well I felt. :ayatollah:

And caulker once again was perfect not ,it was blowing a gale there today and any ball in the air caused uncertainty for both defences he was no worse than any of the cb on show today

what a dick u are your slating people for having a go at bellamy and whitts but its ok for u to have a go at a player tho

Re: Turner is absolutely crap

Sat Feb 01, 2014 7:38 pm

Dont understand how you can berate people for slating one player, then start a thread like this.

Turner is certainly not a total footballer but jesus he gives his all, is strong in the air and is solid tackling. He doesnt deserve the flak he gets.
Though he was great second half today. :ayatollah:

agree the only thing that lets him down is the passing but come on he will always be slated even if he plays good like he as been

Well said pal, he gives 100% and won a load of headers! we should support him and Whitingham and the whole team! some of our own fans are clueless :roll:

Whitts is a club legend and loyal servant. Ben Turner is not yet. Thats how. Players like Whitts, Marshall and Hudson are legends and loyal servants. No one else is yet.

No i was not Carl with a K. I respect Whitts as he's a club legend. Turner is not. He's still got a lot to do to achieve such status.

Thats all he can do. Most of the errors are his own doing because he has no distribution ability other than hoof! In possession he looks scared and nervous. I hope this new CB has an air of calmness about him like Caulker does.

Bellamy is. Turned down massive offers in the PL to help out his hometown team which is legend status straight up. He helped take us up too with inspired performances and often motivated the team.

Bellamy a legend hahahahahahahaha, if he wasn't such a prick to people he wouldn't even be here, never once settled down at any club and was a gobby tw*t to any one who disagreed with him, not a fan of Malky but to refuse to play for us just because of difference in thoughts of tactics is f*cking stupid, you get paid 35k a week to fund your foundation sitting on your arse, at least earn it. He could have easily moved his kids with him or joined Swansea etc. He's far from a legend, legend's at this clubs are players like Keenor, John Charles, Phil Dwyer and Jason Perry etc, Bellamy is far from it. If we weren't offering him 35k he'd have either retired or joined someone else.

He is a legend. He is also a very nice bloke. Just misunderstood by people like you who don't know him. Just because he tells it like it is and is straight up and honest doesn't make him a bad person, in fact it makes him a better one. So you'd rather Bellamy just keep playing and Malky get his own way and take us down then as thats what would have happened. It was the restlessness in the dressing room that led to his dismissal as well as the transfers. It was obvious when no players put good luck messages on Twitter for Malky. He had lost the belief. Bellamy kicking up a fuss could be the very thing that keeps us up this year because had he not bothered Solskjaer may have happened too late.

He's not a legend, a legend is someone who has played a certain number of games for the club or contributed solely to a teams success/rise. He seems a nice bloke when he wants to be, so you know him personally do you? He's had a falling out at every club he's been to. No I'd rather him play and then tell Tan his thoughts, nothing wrong with players questioning the tactics etc. I'm glad Malky was dismissed.

Caulker stopped a goal IMO with that last ditch tackle, did you not see that?
