He was our best player against West Brom and Rotherham. Also was very good against Norwich. Stop cherry picking and pursuing an agenda against a player you do not rate. I think he has been too inconsistent since he has arrived but give credit where it is due when he plays really well.
Not sure it’s saveableWatching the video again and Collins half asleep for the goal, am I being harsh?
Not that big a worry based on recent performancesCov tel saying Torp is injured which is a worry !

I just thought he wasn’t on his toes didn’t back pedalI don't think there's too much Collins can do about their goal , just perfectly executed header really
We won there last year playing on the counterYep, think we were fortunate to win this one. They looked much sharper and dangerous than us, the most important stat is of course, which team scores the most goals. But looking at every other stat, we were second best, from shots/shots on target, through to possession, passes made and pass accuracy. It was also noticeable that when we were on the rack, first and second half, neither Wright or Simms were able to hold the ball up, and help to get us up the pitch. Delighted we won, of course, but we need to start games better, and perform at a much higher level if we are to be in with a chance of a play-off place. Personally I think we’ll come up short, and the summer window will be key in maintaining our progress next season.
The same Eccles that played alongside Sheaf in our long unbeaten run? The same Torp that has been almost anonymous in the recent defeats?Well it is when the alternative is Kelly or Eccles alongside Sheaf.
I don’t disagree that Torp was anonymous in those games… but did Eccles do much better?The same Eccles that played alongside Sheaf in our long unbeaten run? The same Torp that has been almost anonymous in the recent defeats?

Torp not really a holding midfielder but has done ok thereI don’t disagree that Torp was anonymous in those games… but did Eccles do much better?
Midfield needs to be beefed up whether or not Sheaf goes. 1-3 signings at least to replace Kelly, Allen and potentially Sheaf.
We don’t need to play two holding midfielders. With Torp specifically, he started really brightly, but has tailed off a bit.Torp not really a holding midfielder but has done ok there
I’d like to see him in number 10 role
Here you go again with your tedious nonsense. Eccles has been a regular in the team for a year and a half and at times our best player. Sorry to disappoint you but he's in the team to stay. No doubt you will carry in slating the best player we have brought through our youth set up in years. Kelly and Allen have also been great servants to the club and deserve better.I don’t disagree that Torp was anonymous in those games… but did Eccles do much better?

Just because they weren't bought for a big fee doesn't mean they aren't good players.
It’s literally been for weeks, 3 of them.His last goal contribution was 22 days ago , or 4 matches .
It seems a relatively short period to suggest it's been for weeks .
I feel like fans are talking about this like its been going on for a while and it's a bit unfair , even if I am annoyed too by him not signing
Eccles involved in both goals yesterday, so did do much better than Torp.I don’t disagree that Torp was anonymous in those games… but did Eccles do much better?

I doubt Kelly will still be here. And yes the other four competing for two places would mean it is one of the strongest areas of the team again.I’m not slating Eccles specifically, we were poor against PNE and WBA and in my view, we struggled at LB/WB and in midfield.
You say it’s tedious, but I challenge you to answer this one question:
Do you believe we can win promotion to the Premiership with Sheaf, Eccles, Torp, Kelly and Allen?
If your answer to this is no, then you have no reason to disagree with my points.
Totally agree about the Eccles bashing. I just don't understand what they get out of criticising a young player who has achieved so much.Eccles involved in both goals yesterday, so did do much better than Torp.
TBH I get a bit sick of the Eccles bashing or damning with faint praise. Agree that Kelly and Allen need replacing.
Sadly, I reckon a lot of it is acting a 'lad' to mask their own insecurities and unhappiness, which sadly sees them end up doing it from addiction.That was because loads of idiots embarrassed themselves drinking it all yesterday. It was like a 16th birthday party with people being sick and falling over then sleeping where they fell.
I really can’t see the attraction of being so pissed that i’m asleep on the stairs after 5 minutes.
We really do have some dregs following us at times.

We have positions which are far lighter, including left back and centre forward if Wright is playing wide. Also Sakamoto, Wright and Mason-Clark is not enough for two positions. And Palmer alone for the no 10 spot is not enough, assuming O'Hare goes.
But no doubt if the forwards don't score you'll complain that it's all the fault of the midfield and if they do you'll say it all down to how great Simms is again.
Cos you woke up next to a hottieSadly, I reckon a lot of it is acting a 'lad' to mask their own insecurities and unhappiness, which sadly sees them end up doing it from addiction.
I don't get the appeal either. I remember people when I was younger saying "I had a great night out! I was so bladdered I don't remember what happened!" WELL HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU KNOW IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT THEN!
Never fails to baffle me that people don't realise success lends itself to continuity.Never fails to baffle me how chairman's don't realise continuity lends itself to relative success

Don’t think Torp will be fit from the sounds of it, but I’d be tempted to play a flat three if we’ve got two up front and play Eccles Sheaf and Torp
