Just a couple of games ago most on here, including me, were calling for a team of Turleys based on his never-say-die attitude and desire to give his all and throw his body on the line for the cause.
In the last week or so I've seen multiple comments suggesting he's rubbish and we should get rid.
Who's right?

He's barely Football League standard in terms of ability, but his attitude makes him possibly the best defender we have.

If only for attitude i'd keep Turley. He plays like he cares and we are going to need huge dollop of that just to compete til the end of the season.

And especially next season!

I’d care lots if I played, but I wouldn’t fancy our chances of staying up.

He's not great BFP but none of them are and having watched Duffy slagging off young players for his mistakes i know who I'd rather pick.

Looks like we've a whole team that's barely football league standard but you're are correct in saying he's the better player in defence

I like Turley. He isn’t the best defender we’ve ever had, but he puts in a big effort, keeps it simple and boots the ball towards row Z when he has to. In the present circumstances, his has got to be one of the first names on the teamsheet.

The difference between Turley and most of our other players is that he makes positive decisions and tries to affect play, which takes courage and determination, especially when the team as a whole is on the ropes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but he's got the guts to take responsibility and try.
For the second Macclesfield goal yesterday, Brisley just kept backing off their forward and then made a token effort to stick out a leg when the ball was already too close to goal, giving Fitzsimons no chance to react to the shot. I think Turley would have been far more ready to stand his ground and put in a challenge earlier. He might have got it right, he might have got it wrong, but he would have the balls to take responsibility and try. Too many players in this team are hiding and hoping, trying to shift the responsibility to someone else. If we had more characters like Jamie Turley we would have more chance of getting out of this mess.
