David Turnbull

Him and christie cant be in the same side, and christie on form is a better player.

 

His performances are lacklustre with no creativity, he was a battler when he played for Motherwell, just another flat performance for us.

 

Runs like he's pulling a caravan. Not athletic enough to be in our midfield

 

I think Christie or McGregor would suit us better in his position, both much faster. He is a bad partner for Edouard as well as Turnbull is smart and clever and neat with his play and Edouard is dumb and lackluster and both are slow, Turnbull canny run and Edouard won't do anything more than a jog, leaves us really slow up front and just doesn't work.

 

His technical ability is unquestionable. But his lack of fitness/stamina is shocking for a guy his age.,

 

I agree thought he was poor, kept giving the ball away

 

Started well but looked like he tired later.

 

Crackin player....isn't he? Hits a stonking shot then struggles to play someone in. Beats a man with ease then doesn't get his head up. In a winning team this guy will shine. Currently.... he's a bit of a passenger but bcos of where we are we have no one else able to come in.

 

Posted missing last night. And not been on it in pre season games either. Was expecting so much from him.

 

Guys too slow is a good player but he is a yard off the pace,

His fitness and athleticism needs explaining, a young guy his age shouldn't be so slow or unfit.
His ability on the ball is fine, he'll be fine with a proper striker ahead of him.

 

Seems to me he needs a specialist fitness/lifestyle coach assigned to him.

I don't see any shame in that to be honest. Our position in football is such that we can't exclusively sign top professional athletes. Only the richest clubs can do that. If we want talent we need to get the likes of Turnbull.

What we can do is have a coaching infrastructure in place the helps address these players' problems. Get the likes of Turnbull, who is held back by fitness and athleticism, and assign him top coaches to sort these issues and we'll have a star on our hands.

 

Lennon probably set him back about 3 year, fitness wise.

 

Lennon had a stinking attitude of, "He's not fit enough and it's not my * responsibility".

 

Lennon just had a stinking attitude full stop

 

I’d say that was probably his worst game for us last night. He’s been a consistent standout.

10000000% the least of our problems.

 

His form is beginning to concern me a bit

I know he was the golden boy last year and can be a silky player but I do expect more from him just now
