But he was good in that position. His versatility at the back will be very valuable.jamespevans wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 6:14 pm He's a back up CB nothing more than that. Anybody who thinks he is a RB is deluded.

Agreed he’s behind the other three CBs. But we’re going to need him plus another if we persist with the 5 at the back.eagwgw wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 7:44 pm He's great back-up at CB, but behind the other three.
At right-back I prefer Judd over Turley.
I do think a lot of opinion is skewed by his very good performances at centre-back.
Him going to wing-back was a bit of a surprise, and this surprise factor I think caught opponents a bit off guard meaning he had a slightly more comfortable match (same goes for Alex Lawless when he played there). But over time I think opponents would have find a way to exploit it.
This time last year we were going on about how much more solid Sam Ling was than Caprice, but over the course of this season teams have figured out if they put a fast guy on him he will have a lot of joy, and we had to change formation as part of this.
Don't think Turley was great at wing-back against Solihull or Fylde and obviously the standard is better next year.
Still defence isn't really our weakness, and most of the lads should be able to cut it. I do fear that the starting XI for the first game next year will not be better than the one that ended last season, and we obviously are much worse off in the manager department.
Agree with both if youse. But a tricky winger with pace will be what exploits him. As well as lack of support from a weak midfield.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 9:02 pmAgreed he’s behind the other three CBs.

At wing back he was solid. I’m not sure how you think teams are going to exploit him there. He’s quick. He’s strong. He’s superb in the air. It just ain’t going to happen.
The only downside with him in that role is that he’s not as good offensively. He was better than you’d have expected for a no nonsense centre half, but he ain’t going to go past players with or without the ball. So he’s great at wing/full back when we need a more defensive formation, not so good when we need to be offensive.
I can’t see anything not to like about this. It’s great news.
Turley would also "leave one on" said winger with a thundering challenge to slow him down a bitCreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 10:54 pm A tricky winger with pace would prove just as much of a problem for Ling and even Judd. Turley is the quickest out of the three of them.
The thing Judd would have in his favour is that he’d drive this theoretical tricky winger with pace backwards by being offensively aggressive.

true enough.I would not like to be that tricky winger. Whoever he is it looks like he's in for it big time. I worry for him.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:17 pmgshaw wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:09 pmTurley would also "leave one on" said winger with a thundering challenge to slow him down a bitCreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 10:54 pm A tricky winger with pace would prove just as much of a problem for Ling and even Judd.

How old is this tricky, pacy, theoretical winger? Do you reckon we should go in for him?Max B Gold wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:55 pmI would not like to be that tricky winger. Whoever he is it looks like he's in for it big time. I worry for him.
