    Maybe you're joking but I'm starting to wonder. Really needs some. Big game performances because atm, he only seems to be turning up against the lesser teams regularly.

    He was * mince today.

    I do kinda worry about him, goes missing too often for a guy of his supposed talent.

    Maybe it's just his age and inconsistency that comes with it.

    Probably our most disappointing player today for me. There was stiff competition on this too.

    He can play so much better than he did today. That shot from the free-kick was not something I want to see again.

    Poor game today, hopefully he'll learn from the experience.

    He needs to get fitter and pass the ball faster too. He has flashes of brilliance but he always looks like he struggles the most in Anges style. He always wants to take too long before making the pass or jogging when he should be running. It often leads to the move losing momentum.

    Hope he's not gonna join Forrest and Christie in the "never kicks a ball against sevco" club. With the talent he has he must stand up to be counted when we play them.

    No, I'm not joking play a well at times and then disappears for important games. He looked knackered at the 15min mark and his tracking back is shocking for a young man.

    Another one who can turn it on against the lesser teams but fails to show up against the huns. We need more fighters in the team. We don't have a Sutton or Hartson or even a Broony now and we are being bullied by every *

    Absolutely stinking from the first minute. Far too wasteful with the ball, and the awful free kick where he tried to catch out their keeper just summed him up.

    Appalling today, everything he touched went astray. Really blows hot and cold.

    Aye poor today. I've felt a couple of times this season he's struggled in high tempo games when we don't have the ball. If he's having a poor game in possession we're a bit screwed because he offers very little out of possession.

    It's happening too many times now when playing them and is the invisible Man like Christie and think from now on I would only play Turnbull against other SPL teams and we need someone better in the midfield when playing the zombies .

    It wasnt his day but he will come back strong. On his day he is one of the most talented in the squad. This will just make him stronger.

    What annoyed me was how he never went forward at all, he was totally ineffective..

    He is a player tho.

    It's obvious to me he's severely lacking in athleticism.

    There was no chance of him putting in a performance today after playing 90 minutes away at AZ. Absolutely not chance. He looked * after 10 minutes and just arrived 3 yards behind to every play in the match.

    He needs time and experts to build up his fitness and agility. Play him at home to the likes of Dundee where he will have more time and space while he works on his issues.

    Playing him away to AZ then Ibrox is * madness. He looked like a 40 year old out there today.

    Think it was the worst gave I’ve seen him play.

    He was making all the wrong decisions. Needs to dust himself down after that and get practicing set plays and crossing the * ball.

    Not going to hammer him too much but my pre match team selection didn't have him or Abada in it. Think that stands up. Needs to do much more.

    When he first came in, his deliveries were decent, its like we have coached that out of him, how long have we been crap with set piece deliveries? And that free kick, * was that all about???
