I totally agree. I posted similar sentiments on one of the recent match threads.
Ben Turner is the dominant centre-half we've been seeking for most of the past decade. Not since Graeme Lee have we had a central defender of his type. Shaun Brisley looked promising in his early days but faded badly.
Unfortunately, centre-halves with Ben's commanding influence tend to nearer the end of their careers rather than the start, because it's a position that truly is learned and tends to be mastered at a later age thanks to years of experience reading the game and learning how to be in the right place at the right time. Then again, if Ben was 25 rather than 31, he wouldn't be staying at Notts county very long, so maybe his age works to our advantage.
