To be fair not just him. Hopefully when we turn this around or something changes, he can start to kick on.
To be fair not just him. Hopefully when we turn this around or something changes, he can start to kick on.You obviously have vague recollections of the sexy bits while ignoring the poor passes and the times he has got turned over and put us under pressure. That has been his theme this season. At the start of the season I hoped he would kick on, but he hasn't.

Don’t disagree. Think this is why I’m most concerned with this year. Robins sides have never been this pedestrian on and off the ball.Big part of the issue as I see it is our players not moving off the ball (although he’s equally as guilty when others have the ball). When we get pressed aggressively, you want an attacker to make a yard of space to play it early. We don’t do anywhere near enough of that this season.
Torp is doing well to get picked on for recent poor performances whilst also playing just 13 minutes of the last 3 games.
Good player written off too soon. Much better shooting technique than Sheaf and Eccles that's for sure.
Impressive to be a critic recently, he’s barely played.I’ve been a Torp critic for a while now, today he seemed to get a grip of the game and be quite influential with us going forward! Took his goal well too. Time will tell like with the team if they can get some sort of positive consistency going! Might finally see why Robins signed him for
Play him as a ten and allow him to stay high and not track back and he’ll be a handful.He scored a great goal today. But where does he fit in? He isn’t quick enough for midfield. Not nimble enough. He may be consigned to being a sub player who can pick a pass or score when we’re dominating.
agreed.Play him as a ten and allow him to stay high and not track back and he’ll be a handful.
Just allow him to sit in pockets and transition the ball from midfield to attack, pace won’t matter as he’ll have plenty around him
I think he’s our best option at 10Good player written off too soon. Much better shooting technique than Sheaf and Eccles that's for sure.
Did brilliantly today in the ten role. His best attribute has always been his passing and think he will thrive in a ten role where he doesn’t need to do as much defensive work.
Also he does have shooting boots.

Always had great technique and I thought he often looked the best player on the pitch when coming on last season. Up to management/coaching to get the best from him.This is what pisses me off about our fan base. Anyone with eyes and any semblance of footballing knowledge/understanding can see there’s a player there. Purely down to his role in the team and whether he can play in the intensity of English/championship football. For me, his movement today and willingness to accept the ball in tight areas, even before the goal, again shows he could be a top player at this level.
Shove him in front of the back four with a focus on defensive duties and he might struggle

I agree, Rudoni flatters to deceiveHe should’ve been the furthest forward midfielder all season. To be fair sheafs injury messed that up a bit but I reckon he should be further forward than rudoni
The coaching, set up etc has been questionable this season but hopefully as they spend time with the squad things will improve
You can see that in the way he plays . He wants the ball in tight areas and looks to move it quickly . I think he can become a very useful 10 if he can work on the weaknesses in his gameAll the stat scouts say Torp is best played just behind the front 2. Suits his game.
He is a lovely footballer too watch , so silky smooth and languid in possession.People constantly criticising his stamina. He's still quite new to English football, he missed most of pre-season with an injury, and hasn't had a decent run of games yet. Far too soon to assume he can't be a contributor over 90 minutes.
