In fairness to Turner I do have some sympathy - cut out the errors and there's a decent keeper there. He commands his area pretty well and can be a very good shot stopper, but 8 times out of 10 doesn't really cut it at this level...

He's right when he says he hasn't gotten away with much (not anything mind) but that is the nature of the premier league. Its brutal but you're either up to it or you're not - we can't afford any passengers in the current situation and it's good to hear him acknowledge that (Sels questioning).

Nice guy, has more of a chance of a future with us than Vlach I feel, though think his world cup winning ambitions (LOL!!!) will mean he looks elsewhere unless he finds a way back in this season.

(Edit: and honestly, I can't forgive him for that Spurs giveaway - I was done with him from that moment: not good enough.)

That's like describing a nursery nurse as being brilliant, save for her dropping a few babies onto the concrete floor".

I've two hopes with Turner: if he stays as our #2 that our #1 is made of steel, and that his lateness to the game means he will eventually cut out the errors.

The best way for him to do that at the minute is stay on the bench, though suspect we'll see him tonight.

A contributiory factor has to be the size of his feet.
Size 15... he can probably lean forwards and touch his knows on the ground without bending his knees.

It must baffle all the professional goalkeepers who have failed to play above League One level when they see this guy make basic mistake after basic mistake on a weekly basis at the top level.

f*** him off in the summer at the first opportunity.

Are you two at the game? Listening to it they've said he's made a couple of good saves, was the goal his fault?

Edit - just seen the goal on match thread, didn't think there was any footage tonight!

Thank f*** we managed to bring a half decent keeper in

I've tried to stick up for Turner but by god he isn't even Championship level

We need to get rid at the first opportunity

He has been given so many opportunities. There has not been one game where you could say he has gained us 1 point, but plenty where he has lost us points. Samba gained us tons of points which we did not deserve, maybe karma has come and given us Tuner as pay back !

If you've got a point to make I suggest you make it rather than hiding behind contrived analogies

Don't assume we've signed a good player based on one decent appearance. Plenty of time for him to prove he's turgid still.
