Given the Bowie lookalike - I propose the following


Ground Control to Major Torp
Ground Control to Major Torp
Eat your smoked fish
And put your viking helmet on
Ground Control to Major Torp
Commencing countdown
Engines on
Check ignition
And may Dougs love be with you
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff
This is Ground Control
To Major Torp
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know which sky blue shirt you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule
If you dare
This is Major Torp to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating
In a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

Mark and Adi were asked about Torp tonight.
Mark said that Torp looks a good addition. He has clean feet meaning he strikes the ball well and has a good range of passing. He was asked when he’s likely to feature and Mark bluntly replied when we think he’s ready to feature, as there are other aspects of his game he needs to work on.
Adi added that Torp is challenging for a place in the most difficult position to get into the team. He said our current midfield is in the best 3 or 4 in the whole league. I found that a very interesting comment as everyone on here thinks that’s the area we need to strengthen the most

Is it not more about people thinking we would struggle if anyone gets injured? Our starting midfield is great.
Plus it’s nice to have some variation.

I constantly say it and get laughed at and argued against but Sheaf and Eccles are up there ,both as a pairing and individually,with the best in the league .
Eccles especially is criminally underrated by some on here while Sheaf is put on a pedestal. When you crunch stats there is very little between them .
Will be interesting to see how quickly and who with that Torp gets into the starting lineup

They said something along the lines of Torp needs to acclimatise and work on the defensive part to his game. They said he’s very talented and will learn quickly.

It's hard enough to keep formation with his foot-bath saturation

Torp will not be trusted to play in a flat mid with Eccles or Sheaf yet. He will be given a free role with protection behind him for a bit. Im sure he has been brought in to eventually strengthen that deeper area but now i dont see the point in forcing him in.

He will be given time and minutes to work himself in, no rush needed with him. He has the tools and fitness just needs a few weeks learning his responsibilities and getting the speed of the game. I dont doubt he will get minutes but i don't think we see him on for a few games yet

Sounds like we couldn't find another Hamer so we're going to make one ourselves 😄

And yes strengthening the backup players is important. But we can't just bring in a player this late in the season and expect them to slot straight in. It was easier in the days of 442. Now each player is a piece in a jigsaw. If one player gets the role wrong it leaves gaps. We're better off utilising the present players if needed that already know the system we use.

Which is why it's perfect timing to bring Torp in. He has already seen how passionate we can be. He has seen the football we play. Bet he can't wait to get on the pitch. By the sound of it he doesn't need much work on going forwards but he needs to learn the defensive role. I'm sure we will see a fair bit of him before the end of the season.

Would be great if he has made his way into the side before Wembley.

Nobody has a free role in the team, O'Hare is as big a part of our defensive work as anybody else in the midfield just higher up the pitch

Not everybody. I have thought all season Eccles and Sheaf have been our best players. And I think of the two Eccles is slightly better.

agree - although i feel Sheaf is pretty hard done by as well by fans and isnt put on a pedestal as much as he should be.

Sheaf last season was playing next to the best MF in the league and his job was easier, this year he has really stepped up.

Eccles also stepped up very well but do think he would benefit from a bit of rotation sometimes.

So who do people see Victor Torp replacing in the starting line up when he gets his chance? I cant see him replacing COH, Sheaf or Tats and he not exactly a front 3 man. That only leaves Eccles in my opinion but hes upped his game of late

He's been bought in to start and assuming he's good enough the strongest 11 will have him and Sheaf in the middle. Eccles will still however get plenty of minutes. It's that simple really.

So. Two things.
One. Song/chant. How bout the Iceland clap (stop it...) with the TORP! chant?
Two. Isn't it great that we can bring a new player to the squad and not need to rush him into a new league/country? How times have changed...
