I find it amazing how players are superstars as potential signings but written off as crap if they don’t get hat-tricks within an hour or so if actually pulling on the shirt. It’s the same phenomenon as players being world beaters when they are out of the side. Patience is the key.

All we need is an influx of world class performers in all eleven positions. And then another all the same as “back ups”. No one else is after them and money is no object for us so it shouldn’t be an issue.

It’s been a great window already. It’s bizarre to say we’re disappointed with additions like Dovin, Rudoni, Binks, Mason-Clark, Thomas-Asante. Bizarre

Why do we want a midfield enforcer. You can’t tackle in the game. The closest you get now will be someone who “breaks up play”. If ever plaudits were given out for basic tasks it’s for this.

It is worth noting that for all the stick directed at Torp and Allen we were able to dominate the second half when both were also present.

I believe our coaches last year identified midfield as our strongest area.

If Allen was 6ft tall he wouldn’t get half the stick he does. He looks so tiny it can alter the perception of his play.

Agree with this. Emc and Rudoni will be good signings as will bta. I think Kitching will also be fine as will Dovin. The negativity based on 1 game is misplaced. It was a disappointment of a game but I’m confident in the quality we have.

Nowhere near writing Torp off. He just needs to up the intensity. He will hurt teams given time and space but he will rarely get it

Eccles, yes. Allen, yes. Torp, possibly. But the squad also has Sheaf. Yesterday wasn’t about ability for me. It was mindset.

They sorted it at HT with Emc and Saka playing closer to Simms. Also let mve and Bidwell push up further. Not sure why it took till ht to get that message on.

So let’s get things straight. Torp isn’t good enough but we should focus on foreign signings. EMC has played 60 minutes but is criticised for lacking impact! We shouldn’t sign L1 players any more. Kitching will be the cornerstone of our defence for a good while. One game in guys. We just needed...

Squad analysis seems to have swung from stellar to crap based on one game. I had the impression we believed our own hype a bit and turned up strolling about and thought that would be enough. It never is in the Championship. But we have the players.

Could have been most for the first half.

Yes. Numerous quotes saying he’s our poorest starter. He’s not. Not by a long chalk.

Is he? Don’t know anything about him.

Browne was that man! Still yesterday’s news. Need to solve the issue. I don’t think Madsen is the answer.

Still better than some of Thomas’ passing!

That’s fair for me. The best midfielders take the ball on the half turn and develop play. Torp needs three touches and then plays it square.

This is just bizarre. Watching that and saying Bidwell is our weakest link is just strange.
