Turnbull - I said at the time we signed him we didn't need another rather slow and immobile midfield player as we were 'blessed' with so many already, and frankly he has done nothing to convince me he is an effective No. 10 or effective sitting back. I hope he proves me wrong but frankly at this point I feel he is surplus to requirements already.
With Adam’s gone, Rinomhota at the exit door apparently, we need to add Wintle Romeo Robinson , Tanner and Turnball to the list

Non of them are good enough or have shown that they can make a difference, Rinomhota, Wintle Romeo, are league one players, Tanner probably league two, Turnball was a strange signing and I’m still not sure why we signed him?
Robinson could be a good player for us, but there’s little evidence based on last season that he has the appetite for it
All these guys are doing is blocking the way forward for the more exciting youngsters to break through as regular squad players
Conte, J Colwill and King as well as one or two others need the opportunity to shine
They won’t do that playing in the U21s
