I think his name is faintly comical - should be playing for a Private Eye XI…

My TuffersAlias-o-meter just bleeped quite loudly.

Huh. Must just be a weird coincidence of writing style, odd punctuation, posting on every topic and enmity towards moderators. Carry on.
After an initial crossing of swords with Tuffers we settled down like two old grannies, paid him the compliments he needs (don't we all) and he was as good as (max) gold. I feel that having been voted boarder of the year, he felt that confrontation was the way forward.

Well, we definitely need to bring in another CB. I know Jordan Brown can play there but I don't fancy us starting the new season with only two fit recognised CB'S.

Brighton just signed Brazilian CB Igor from Fiorentina, so that pushes Ed Turns further down the pecking order, so Ed will be a red once they return from USA tour next week 👍
It’s good he is having a pre season tour, and hopefully some game time v Prem opposition

If we were to sign Ed Turns for a season long loan, who will drop out to make way for him?
Happe or Beccles?
If neither, Turns won't be happy on the bench week in week out.
Bit of a problem for RW there

It's more than likely Happe will not start in the first few games after his significant injury. If Turns does come back he will most likely be started before Happe.

Was he better than the 20 mins of the previous match where he really struggled? (not surprising as up against premier league opposition).

Personally I think he would like a better player against Manchester City than he would against Stevenage.

I'm not so sure about that - the Brentford strikers are quicker and more powerful than anything he'll face in L1.

Yeah he was, the impressive way Brighton play out from the back, with defenders receiving the ball with forwards up there arse, will only make him a better player when playing for us hopefully this season in L1, he will def have more time on the ball.
It’s so impressive how Brighton play out from the back.

Yeah I know he can control and pass a ball.

How was his defending?

Looks like he was possibly fault for both goals, like a statue for the first and not quick enough for the second.

Harsh, as I watched the whole game, they are just 2 clips, and yes was unlucky for the 1st goal, and for the 2nd, he was not strong enough, but let’s remember he’s a young kid learning his trade, playing against Newcastle who finished 4th in Prem, Turns has 1 season in men’s football under his belt playing for us in L2, and is not a Prem player yet, but as a player this experience he is getting in 🇺🇸, will only make him a better player, and will hopefully benefit us, if/when he joins us on season loan this season.

His physicality does worry me a little he’s not the biggest of CB’s but he is good on the ball and reads the game well for his age. I think he could possibly play as a holding midfielder however I think he will be tested this coming season if he signs for us🙈

I would be happy with any CB pairing, week in week out from Beckles, Happe & Turns 💪🏻

Unusual to get a loan signing in who already knows the players bar the keeper, a rare gift

Possibly? Come on, no question about it. He's also lucky that bloke skied the header over the bar otherwise he'd have been responsible for 3 goals in 30 minutes.

He's nowhere near Premier League standard, nor is he ever going to be. Admittedly, that's not really an issue for us, the question is whether he's good enough to be a L1 defender and for me, the answer - right now - is still the same, it's a no.

If he does come here, he will get knocked all over the place in L1 and cost us a barrel load of goals. From a defensive perspective, I would rather have Shad Ogie back there, no question.

Can play football out from the back nicely though, so it's not all bad.
