Matthew Charles Turner

[Danga]

You can't argue with stats

Was the games played home or away?
Who was the opposition?
Who was playing for the opposition?
What form were the opposition in?
What formation were the opposition playing?
Was Forest playing off the back of a short or long week?
Likewise for the opponent?
Who was playing for Forest in these games?

There's a bunch of variables that let you argue the stats, I am sure I have just scratched the surface too. We aren't talking about season long sample sizes either so like I said, the stats mean the square root of f all.

 

[Harry1982]

Still think he's opur best option between the sticks, he'll take some scrutiny for last nights goal, but that ball shouldnt be getting anywhere near him if we could defend a set piece.

He's our best option to keep the ball out the net, what that says about the others is another debate.

Exactly in a lot of cases onana, di gea included in this. Goalkeepers take the brunt of fallout for poor defence/midfeild. I personally think Turner needs to develop a thicker skin as you can physically see his nerves when he is under pressure

The variables even them selves out over a number of games. Stats for single matches versus another match, yes the variables need to be taken into account, but 20 matches and you can reasonably say based on stats someone quality or lack off.

 

[Harry1982]

You can add poor distribution and lack of presence in the area as things that also let him down, I don't think he's a bad shot stopper but gone are the days where this is all that's expected of the man between the sticks

Not gonna lie his hesitancy is his main downfall. Then again would we have got a keeper that didn't have flaws for that price?

His baby has the same desperate look his dad has whenever the ball is passed back to him. As if he's about to fill his nappy.

Outstanding contribution from MT tonight. Team player!

Was it him who got booked?

 

[Professor Wolfgang Schnell BSc. PhD.]

Yep

 

[Strummer]

Was it him who got booked?

Yep, throwing a ball in to play to disrupt a Fulham set-piece.

 

[Listen 'ere young man]

Yep, throwing a ball in to play to disrupt a Fulham set-piece.

Ball control still lacking, I see.

 

[Frank Clark’s Tash]

At least his clearance saw the ball actually stay on the pitch for once.

[congo_red_49]

I can’t recall any other player getting booked for us whilst still on the subs bench.
Was Turner the first to manage this feat?

He was right to do it too - I forget exactly what ridiculous refereeing decision preceded it but there had been one.

Felipe did. Or do you mean physically sat on the bench rather shouting at the ref on the field

His baby would probably get more power than some of turners kicks!

 

[congo_red_49]

No, I did mean whilst still being a substitute that had not got on the pitch.
I missed Felipe's when did he do that?

 

[Gyros Peter]

It was good of Turner to adopt the Steven Reid role in his absence. (Fulham bench were furious about it too.)

Julian Bennett managed this at Swindon. I think it was the day (one of the days?) there when it just hammered down with rain all game. IIRC, one of their players tried a shot along the ground which beat our goalie but the ball got held up in the mud and we were able to clear it. Bennett was warming up and apparently took the mickey out of their fans who had thought they’d scored and over came the ref with his yellow card at the ready.

I was at the County Ground that day, I remember it well!

Bloody depressing place to go and watch Forest lose, plus afterwards I had to drive all the bloomin way to Crewe for a Birthday do AND my pre-match pint and pie gave me the shits so I spent most of the evening on the lav

Christ those League One days were grim!

 

[Wickio]

Fulham were trying to take a free kick about 18 yards further forward if I recall.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Sorry Crewe not Carlisle, always get those two mixed up FSR

 

[Gyros Peter]

Yes - for an offside that wasn't iirc.

That linesman last night was dire - couldn't keep up with play so let two or three clear offsides play out, then gets his flag up quicksharp when a deflected shot ricochets to a player onside in the first phase.

I don't understand what they do these days - automate it and give me two less idiots to get pissed off about.

Was that the day we lost 2-1 and ‘scored’ all three goals? I remember being on the open away terrace at the end with our fans in the seats at the side taunting us with “Getting wet…”. And several of our fans wearing bin liners they’d hastily bought near the ground to keep at least some of the rain water off themselves. Or am I conflating two or more games there?
