Positives: got rid of some poor players Nelson included, signed new players 9/10, has cover in several positions.

Negatives: has not addressed left back position (Hartley is central defence), has not addressed centre midfield, no cover for left back, no cover for a poor centre midfield, not able to change things when we go behind, has finally got us into bottom 4 after nearly a year of trying.

Well I started off trying to defend CT but if I am realisitc he is not the answer, nor has he ever been.

People keep saying we've only played 5 games and we need time to Gel, what I want to know is how many games has CT won us, how many draws and more importantly how many defeats since he took over the reigns????

Why on earth does he insist on playing Sweeney when there are better players on the bench, his performance was dire yesterday and like CT he has had countless bad games.

How do these people get away with it? Anyone else and fans would be baying for blood. We have been floundering for 4 seasons not bothering about centre midfield or left back. If someone did a bit of research and had a look at where we won and lost points, I wouldn't be surprised that the majority of points lost would be in those positions.

Well I tried!!

He tried to sign a left back: Michael Rose.
He tried to sign a left back: Ryan McGivern.
He tried to sign a central midfielder: Colin Healy.

Hence he tried to find players for these positions and those are only the attempts we know about. I bet he's still looking at left backs and central midfielders despite what he says.

After yesterdays performance there is no defence of Turner. Tactically he is clueless, Same substitutions same players taken off same tactics , Same excuses after match from Turner

Why did Brown and Boyd start on the bench ?? Surely you start with your best players and put the opposition under pressure. Everyone apart from Turner knows that Nelson is at his weakest when players run at him ??? What do we do play to his strenghs and lump long balls to the front players Meat and drink to Nelson.

Sweeney !!! What is his role in the team ?? What does he bring to the team ?? Surely 3000 fans cant be wrong as we can all see that he way out of his depth in this league. He had his one wonder season the year we got to Cardiff, and has produced very little since.

His substitutions yesterday were unbeliavable !! Brings on Brown puts him on the wing, Brings on Freddy puts him wide left and Monky into centre midfield. Leaves Behan on who yesterday looked knackered all game. Leaves Sweeney on who should have been watching the game from row d seat 66 with his missus in thed CK stand.

Football is a simple game we get the ball keep it, pass it to players wearing the same colour shirts, move around the pitch and try and score. When we dont have it work hard as a team to get the ball back.

Turner please do us all a favour and go back upstairs before its too late

He started off with the same team (minus Boyd) that played very well against Burnley.

Brown's recovering from an injury and Turner didn't think he was ready to start.

Boyd's is still not 100% fit (according to Turner).

Sweeney, a one season wonder. He must be shit then. Not a one game wonder, a one season wonder :laugh:. Sweeney didn't play well against Norwich, he wasn't outstanding against Burnley but he wasn't bad either.

the only way to get 100% is by playing, not putting him on the bench

Whatever the team, there is no excuse for playing a game that gave the opposition the initiative. Lumping balls at Nelson was like saying "Hello Nelse, welcome back ... here, clear this one as well. we can't be bothered to play on the deck, where we might just have an advantage."
