That's just one game and I still think he looked very weak in certain situations

That comical fall in our box which thankfully Gervinho failed to capitalise on.

That piss poor header where he should have scored.

Not even attempting to ge close enough to his man and getting turned which lead to that free kick on the edge of our box.

I also think that he benefitted greatly from Bassong's pace and reading of the game when caught too high up the pitch.

He was certainly a lot better and there were no definite goal costing errors, but I still have my doubts as far as his motivation goes. A good run of games from Turner will erase those fears.

        I did and still do. I'm just unsure about his motivation. (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:23:58

        Let's hope he kicks on. (n/m) (General Chat) - jafski, Oct 23, 14:55:32
        
        I hope so and I'm sure that he will. He's not a bad player but has looked under par (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:57:23
        
        Yeah, we wouldn't get much better for that price. (n/m) (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:20:07
        
        Thing I've got in my head about Turner is, Hull sold him to Sunderland for ?8m (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:20:47
        
        Wit Turner they finished on 35 points, without him only five less (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:30:00
        
        True, I guess that's why it's only in my head (n/m) (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:31:55
        
        I don't know if you were alone in that, I also thought that way around 2010 (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:39:39
        
        never been that interested in a player?s past since Mike Sheron (General Chat) - Brandonio, Oct 23, 14:43:26
        
        Then he went on to be good elsewhere, and had a 3 year deal at Barnsley (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:50:46
        
        I remember he came here with a lot of hype and was expected to get a lot of goals (General Chat) - Brandonio, Oct 23, 14:53:17
        
        I agree though, was completely gutted when he turned out to be crap for us (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:52:00
        
        although not the best example as his best form was after us (General Chat) - Brandonio, Oct 23, 14:48:07
        
        This is an excellent example (n/m) (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:46:20
        
        you've played at a good level,or have coaching qualifications,which is it? (n/m) (General Chat) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Oct 23, 14:48:55
