One into torps feet
One into wrights feet
One into rudis feet
The only player looking to make a pass forward
One into torps feetHe did one good ball for BTA that nearly came off a several aimless lumps to no one when there was no need.
I thpught grimes slowed us down far too much when onyeka went off
He was outstanding 1st half.
Not so good 2nd half, but popped up with the goal. 3 in 3, Jacks back!
Ben Sheaf?Onyeka 7 Don’t let him shoot though
He is on holiday already. How unusual. It's a shame for him but a great bit of business especially after celebrating like he did.Ben Sheaf?
Let's hear it for the weight of BTA's punt forward. Deadweight into the dead zone.
Jay Dasilva was really great yesterday. His footwork is better than anyone else. His cross for the goal was superb. He really has become a good plyer over the last year or so. I think some people find it hard to change their views on him but I think he is a key player for us.
I also thought he was very poor for their goal...he is the front defender and should have been attacking the ball in from the corner...needs to watch some footage from Alan shearer back in the day !!genuinely don’t see how so many people are giving Rudoni MOM, other than the goal I don’t think he was stand out, and definitely nowhere near as good as JDS, EMC, FTT….
he wasn’t bad, but there were a number of players far better
It seems very clear that FL had asked Torp to play deeper when he came on. He was playing like a sweeper at times yesterday.Torp frustrates the life out of me. He genuinely hides in games and plays the safe, easy option every time.
As others say he spent half the time of the pitch behind our cbs. I think he's gone backwards (literally) as the season has gone on.
But then he tracks back and does a match winning last ditch tackle. So what do we do with Mr Torp!?

Too deep
If he was deeper surely it's more satisfying?He's saying Torp frustrated him, it's not that deep...
If Frank wanted the replacement for Onyeka to play deep, it seems odd to me that he chose Torp ahead of Eccles.

Strikes me as a tactical decision to be honest. In the second half Stoke were happy to put 10 men behind the ball all stationed in their own half. There was less space to work with.When grimes kept droppin into centre half (before we had kitching or thomas who would push higher ) we lost a pass into midfield . It meant we kept having to pass wide and turn back and pass back inside because there was no pass on .
Really frustrating and i find it odd that he started doing it once onyeka went off
Correct, Eccles has put in some good performances at AM whereas Torp has barely played there for us. Not sure why the narrative that he’s better at AM keeps being pushed.He seems to see Eccles as a 10 so not that surprising. I’m not sure Eccles has played the DM role this season has he?
Yeah, that's what I mean. Josh has done really well in that role higher up the pitch, but Frank seems unwilling to play him in what (at least in my eyes) is his more natural deeper position.He seems to see Eccles as a 10 so not that surprising.

I have never thought of them as remotely similar players. All about opinions I suppose.Eccles is similar to Rudoni in some respects, just he’s nowhere near as good at dribbling and taking people on as Rudoni is. Final ball, shooting and crossing there’s similarities there.
That’s what shocked me Robins always waited till it was too late to make substitutions when he was at cov

Technique wise, yes and it’s probably something Lampard has picked up on. Eccles strikes the ball v well, be it a cross, shot or pass and defends well from the front but the similarities stop there.I have never thought of them as remotely similar players. All about opinions I suppose.
Are u kidding me ? Were u even there? He was amazing first half, got between the lines so many times and drove us forward. He was man marked 2nd half and Stoke were alot more compact! Definitely his best game this season since he came back from injurygenuinely don’t see how so many people are giving Rudoni MOM, other than the goal I don’t think he was stand out, and definitely nowhere near as good as JDS, EMC, FTT….
