What, even after Friday's game?

If you're on Sky, for your own sanity please don't turn on the commentary. He's just reading out facts about each player, and saying Lati-boo-diere.

Yeah, can't help feeling he's been told to keep looking for bold ambitious forward passes into the centre of the pitch, and they are all being cut out with ease.

How tall is she though, and is her eyesight still good enough to distinguish between a football and a painted circle?

So few keepers seem to make proper use of that advantage these days, and it's a puzzle. Get Bill Glazier in to do a few coaching sessions 😉

Yeah he's done nothing much wrong really, looks confident with the ball at his feet, usually distributes it quickly, and appears agile. But we haven't seen enough of him to justify the assumptions on here that he's miles better than the other two, that's all.

Does he gorge on oranges and use a lot of toilet paper? Otis seems to think so.

So don't wear yourself out just before the game, and have a bit of a rest after it?

I agree, Allen wasn't great but as you say he never hid and he wasn't anywhere near as poor as has been made out.

Agreed. It's assumed he's a big upgrade, and let's hope he is. But I don't know how people are drawing that conclusion based on such little evidence so far. Don't thiink we have seen him come for a cross yet?

Torp didn't contribute much on Saturday, but as I've pointed out elsewhere he didn't have 'a full preseason' because he was out injured for a lot of it.

Sorry, I don't disagree with a lot of what you say, but as I said before he really didn't have a full pre-season. He was sidelined with an injury for a good chunk of it. Difficult to know how much that contributed to his performance on Saturday, which I agree was much too quiet.

People keep asserting on here that we have switched to a 4-3-3, with 6's and 8's but no 10. That's not what I've seen so far. We may have encouraged more fluidity and licence to vary the pattern, but it still feels like 4-2-3-1 to me, and that positional map hasn't changed my mind.

It was sarcastic, but it does sound a bit like Nick now you come to mention it 😉

Nah, smash them early doors, scrape studs down their shins, and get in the referee's face.

It's when Robins wakes up suddenly in the middle of a dream about taxis.

Who is this Sisyphus and what are his stats like?

Yeah, there are some funny ideas about the way to get promoted out of this league.

You're right that Torp was poor, but surely he missed most of the pre-season with some kind of groin injury?

Looks classy in online clips. But what is his work rate and mobility like, bearing in mind the demands of the Championship?
