Blokes second top scorer in the league and has the highest average rating in the league and you want to see more ?!
Blokes second top scorer in the league and has the highest average rating in the league and you want to see more ?!Torp has come on hugely, Lampard really seems to be divulging some goalscoring midfielder secrets in training. If Eccles starts scoring I’ll know he’s a miracle worker.
Would still like to see more from Torp though, I think he’s got it in him to dictate play more and impose himself on games.
Not enough, needs to do a guitar solo in the centre circle at full time.Blokes second top scorer in the league and has the highest average rating in the league and you want to see more ?!
Honestly, if somebody had said to me at the start of the season we could get 10 goals out of him this season I'd of snapped their hand off! 10 goals for Torp would be a great effort! Now, as it stands, I'll be dissapointed if he doesnt finish the season with 15! He really is capable of that aswell I think!
To think, all the seasons we've all wanted a "20 goal stiker", imagine with him and Rudi, we could potentially have a pair 15 goal midfielders! Fantastic place to be in really! With BTA matching him too, could we have 3 midfielders (although 1 is a striker playing in midfield) finish on 15 for the season? Crazy time to be alive!

Madsen? I think he's come good for them this season. He's their top rated player on sofascore. Only 1 goal, though, so he no Torp.Too many at Brentford and the like, I'd expect a bid,or should that be from Spurs,that lad we were linked with last year,has he made the grade yet at QPR.
We're currently well outscoring the top 3 championship goal tallies of all time at the same stage of their respective seasons. Ill revist the thread after Wrexham, but were looking good for it so far.What’s that 65-70 goals from 4 of the starting XI alone? And not even a stretch on current form. Madness.
Bit like his uncle who said that Bale wasn’t a full backI think this is one of the cases where Robins weren't entirely sure what kind of player he was. I listened to an interview with Lampard, where he asked Torp where he played, and he was saying he's like a number 8/10 - and Lampard pretty much told him he wasn't, and that he'd be a no 6.
Different managers see different attributes, and in the case of Torp, its been Lampard's values that have seen Torp's incredible development.
I recall it slightly different to that. My interpretation of it was that Lampard said players told him they were a fixed position eg an 8 for Torp and he said that he wanted them to be more fluid and not pigeon holed, so that he was a 6, an 8 and a 10.I think this is one of the cases where Robins weren't entirely sure what kind of player he was.

Disagree but Onyeka Rudi and Grimes are all ahead of him in the middle park.Genuinely feel he is the only player to have regressed this season, his form up until November was incredible, but that seems to be more of an outlier now.
Why do we think that is??
Tough one, as said, was one of the best in league until November.Genuinely feel he is the only player to have regressed this season, his form up until November was incredible, but that seems to be more of an outlier now.

Clearly not himself, whether that's an underlying injury, post-illness issue - who knows. My concern is that he looks like he would struggle to step up to the PL due to lack of pace. At his best he is a very good technical player, but at the moment (albeit he hasn't had many minutes recently) I'd be looking at replacing next season. Sorry Victor!Genuinely feel he is the only player to have regressed this season, his form up until November was incredible, but that seems to be more of an outlier now.

I think across the midfield I’d keep Eccles Grimes Rudoni Onyeka and add another two at CM and AM which doesn’t leave much room for him really. Harsh but that’s life after promotion.
Agree - won't Eccles count as one of the home grown players, or whatever the rule is in the PL, about having x number of players you have developed yourself in the squad?I think across the midfield I’d keep Eccles Grimes Rudoni Onyeka and add another two at CM and AM which doesn’t leave much room for him really. Harsh but that’s life after promotion.
I think that's what will happen, though I think from that group we might see Eccles leave.
Physicality is the most important thing in judging who can make the step up. It’s not something Torp has ever really shown and Grimes hasn’t got much of it either.Like Simms I think we might not replace absolutely everyone season one and can see him sticking about for his versatility and dressing room presence. Long term the midfield probably needs a total overhaul but next season I think a better option at AM to challenge Rudi and a partner for Onyeka with better physicality than Grimes would be the priorities. We need a lot of surgery to the squad and won’t have the cash to replace everyone in one go. With Allen out of contract I’d expect us to only replace one other.
Look at his minutes recently. How is any player meant to get consistency playing as sporadically as he doesI think Torp is a fitness issue, and consistency. He has spurts where he’s unplayable but a lot of the time he just isn’t good enough.

The Prem generally looks more about having prime athletes rather than technicians.
I’m still hoping we leave 3 players up at corners against Arsenal. I suspect we’ll both be disappointed.You’re probably right but I’m still hoping for maybe a winger who is fun to watch and it’s not all six foot six trampoline feet
What would your ideal back 4 look like?I mean if we can turn his couple of million into a £5m sale and he's helped us get promoted its another successful signing.
I think we may see Allen and Torp replaced.
Hackney and Hojberg the dream.
