No offence taken, it's only a football forum 😀 Nobody is dissin' Dovin, but it's fair to say we need to see more games before we know how good he is / can be. Obviously with the club having spent significant money, we all hope he's the answer to what has been a problematic position for far too...

He was being sarky

Seen some pointless disagreements on here, but this one takes the biscuit.

Yeah, using all 5 subs with half an hour to go is madness. So easy to find yourself down to ten men.

Visions of Allen in a holding role, and the other three issued with jet packs in a novel tactic to beat the press.

I agree. There are valid reasons why the club don't want to provide a running commentary on any transfer intentions or negotiations in progress. It's not an evil plot to keep fans in the dark, it's simply in the best interests of CCFC's efforts to bring in the players we want. I get the...

From the point of view of competition for places, it's really good that Wilson came in tonight and demonstrated that Dovin doesn't simply have to turn up and expect to play every week.

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.
