Yes bravery is one thing but just stop diving onto the penalty spot 😂

😂 Wilson 6' Collins 6' and Dovin 6 2'. According to Wiki, whether that is accurate or not I don't know? But the difference between the three in height is neither here nor there in reality. Their arms should still put them above a 6' 5" striker

Same here. Lots of positives. I think we need to give him time to acclimatise himself to the bigger stadiums and atmospheres here.

I have only seen him on the TV so far, but didn't look the biggest? But not going to dispute your facts.

He is very young for a keeper and doesn't look the biggest? Yes needs to learn to be more dominant in his six yard box. But hasn't had time to learn about defenders in front of him. I have seen him pointing things out to the defence which is a good sign. Seems to be a good shot stopper...

They must have deemed him match fit to start him? Also there were rumours pre season (I have no idea whether they were true or not) that he was shying away from training? It's one match, but this season he needs to show he can perform consistently at this level.

Yes but when were they last in League Two with not a transfer fee pot to piss in. We were reduced to dead weeds under SISU and punched above our weight to get back to the Championship There are teams in League One who have been in the Prem more recently than us and had the benefits of...

There are a lot of skilful sides in this league and then there are those who make up for the lack of skill with physicality. It's a tough league. Any team that gets promoted deserves it.

I agree with your observations about pre season results and have put those type of examples forward myself . I never take any real stock about the results. But also I'm not going to bet wet over a defeat away first game of the season. For me we are a top 10 side with a very good chance of...

Or is he a bit precious? January is a terrible time to join a club. Any professional footballer will tell you that. He also had the I hadn't trained for five weeks problem, and was behind fitness wise. But he has now had a full pre season with us. I hope he is not going to be a player full...

That is why I think he looks better off the bench when the game has become a bit more stretched and a few players are getting leggy.

True because Torp can't win the ball for himself or find space for his team mates to pass to him? He was the worst player on the pitch yesterday. I doubt he touched the ball three times in the first half. He has had a full pre season now so no excuses, he has to start showing he has got what...

Yes it one game. We never got going and we know we can play better than that and can beat better teams than Stoke. We have shown that in pre season.

And that's my worry about Torp. He is very one paced. When we break forward quickly he struggles to catch up with play. Likewise, when we get turned over he is huffing and puffing to get back. He has some nice touches, especially in tight areas. But one thingcwe won't be able to coach...

It is just people who have heard a transfer rumour and then bigged him up like they have watched every game he has played in the last two years. In reality they have just checked out a few stats

I don't think he even had three touches in the first half.

Why? He wasn't that good last night for Sheffield United.

It was one of those days when everyone was off it apart from Rudoni.

When Torp starts a game it always seems to pass him by. When he comes off the bench he shows glimmers of being a good player. But he never really bosses a game. He hasn't got the pace to be a box to box player, not robust enough in the tackle to be a DM and not skilful enough to be an...

I've seen several games he was in last year and he never stood out. Just looked an ok'ish League One player. I certainly don't think he would transform our midfield.
