David Turnbull

* poor yesterday, much like every derby last season. He's obviously not a big game performer, this season he's been hot and cold. He's one of them players if the team are playing well he shines if their not he really struggles and will definitely not be relied on the lift the team.

 

Aye his set pieces were criminal yesterday. More worrying is I can't think of anyone else in the team that can be relied upon to take a decent one. Possibly McGregor.

They on the other hand beat us off set play deliveries again. Infuriating.

 

For me i’d only start him against weaker opposition until his fitness improves and bring him off the bench against better teams once they’ve tired out.

 

In a way you could say in the end that was the game yesterday. They were able to put in some good set piece deliveries when they were on top in the second half. Turnbull's deliveries all day yesterday were as bad as Christies usually are.

 

Ffs haha, hes been class the last few games and all of a sudden... Everyone was poor more or less due to how the team was set up from the start. Next game * will be praising him.

 

That’s because our next game is against Ross County

 

Glad to hear he’s having a good rest before returning to Celtic.

Good news him not starting for Scotland, has looked off it last 2 games for us, hopefully will stand to him when he comes back Saturday.

 

He’s either * hot or dogshit, absolutely no in between. Needs to find his consistency quickly, main issue is there’s not a lot of competition in the middle of the pitch just now.

 

His fitness is unreal, he looks completely * every time you see him. Very rarely will he win a foot race against anybody under 39.

 

It's hard to tell what type of midfielder he is to be honest

He's pish defensively so isn't a DM. Not good enough to be CAM, but is incredibly dangerous in and around the box with that shot in his locker. I'd play him as a Lampard type if he can get his fitness to the right standard.

He's comfortable on the ball but I lose count how many times he misses a through ball opportunity to turn back and play the safe pass. He did it a few times today and often does it with Kyogo. It's infuriating at times

 

He'll find his consistency imo, he's an unreal player on his day and can change a game in an instant.

He is unbelievably slow however, don't see that improving, think it'll be less noticeable when we get another midfielder in that's quick, as having him and Rogic in the team is a no-go.

 

That’s the sort of decision making acumen he can develop with experience, coaching and his own personal application. Needs to stop measuring his game mainly by goals (as Ange has more than once said he does). That will make him less hasty.

He’s a number 10 all day long, for me. Just not fully developed yet. Not got the lungs for CM, by a long way.

 

Actually thought he played well, got little assistance from the other 2, kept wanting the ball.

 

Hearing that he thought he would stroll into the Scotland midfield in the Euro's and in the recent games v Moldova, Austria etc. but was dumped on the bench by Clarke. Looks like his confidence has taken a knock, maybe needs to realise he hasn't 'made it' yet and still has a lot of work to do to become a truly top midfielder.

Needs to pull his finger out of his * * and get stuck in!

 

Slows things down to much, and his back passing is beginning to break up our forward movement.

 

Another good performance from the young bhoy. Always available and more often than not involved in everything going forward for us.
