Owls fans ripping into Diaby, should never wear the shirt again, worst player on the pitch, at fault for 2 goals. Let’s hope he stays in the team for Saturday and has a repeat performance.

Christ, just watched the highlights. 100% at fault for the first 2 goals, awful mistakes.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Torp starts

If he does it’ll mean he’s class so I’m all for that.

 

[SkyblueDad]

On your assessment who is third choice ?

 

[no_loyalty]

He will be on the bench instead of Kelly (who may have gone by then), I would think.

 

[David O'Day]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Torp starts

i would

even if match fit which is a doubt after having not played since december he is unlikely to chnage the midfield after a good win

 

[itsabuzzard]

Then we'll know if he's "Norwegian Sunday league" standard or not

 

[David O'Day]

Thank fuck you ain’t the manager.

same given you wanted him in the team before he'd properly trained with the team

heard any more Jack Clarke rumours?

 

[SkyblueDad]

Sheaf first choice followed by Allen/Eccles.

Thank fuck you ain’t the manager

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

6-0 at half time. Goals galore. Reda Johnson lumbers onto the pitch and sprays his luminous yellow piss against the corner flag. Game abandoned. Chaos descends.

That or a 1-0 win. Undecided.

Nope

 

[SkyblueDad]

Well the manager has picked them 3 in midfield all season so

Allen didn’t get in the starting line up Saturday, I like Allen unlike many on here and played very well Saturday but he won’t be ahead of Torp

Apparently his registration hadn’t come through in time, don’t you believe MR ?

Deleted it, then posted the exact same thing.

i think he quoted the wrong post in his reply so deleted it and then replied to the post he wanted to

If we want to make the play offs, this is the type of game we ideally need to be winning, but can see a draw.
Probably then beat them in the cup next week

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Yeah, unless MR is wanted to rest one of the midfielders from the Leicester game.

I'd also be very surprised if he starts. Maybe a cameo off the bench.

if he wanted to do that I think he'd bring allen in first

 

[PVA]

Yes Allen did well off the bench and would be next in line to start if he does want to rest anyone, but I think he'll stick with Sheaf and Eccles.

Torp may get a few minutes and then maybe half an hour in the cup game.

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

I’d probably pick the following for the Wednesday game:

Collins
Van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, Bidwell
Eccles/Torp, Sheaf, Palmer
Sakamoto, Simms, O’Hare

I just think Simms offers more than Godden, not much between them tbh, neither have been scoring much recently in the Championship but I think Simms’ pace and strength is probably more useful than what Godden has to offer.

I agree with that selection, though I doubt Torp will be considered just yet.

Simms occupies the defence far more than Godden and is creating space others are exploiting. Hopefully he can start to score a few soon.

Do you only listen to half of what MR says? Torp hasn’t played since the start of December - he has yet to get up to speed.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Think Torp will be an unused sub for a few weeks yet unless a cameo appearance when we're a few goals up

 

[shmmeee]

TBF how much training does a player need after a winter break? I can’t imagine it’s too much. Plenty of players come into the side after a weeks training following a similar injury layoff.

Still don’t think he’ll start just cos Robins likes to indoctrinate players before they start, look at Kitching and Saka.

It wasn’t a winter break, it was the end of the Norweigan season. Torp has most likely spent the past month on holiday. This week was essentially the equivalent of him coming back for pre-season training.

I don’t think that much - you’d expect a professional to keep themselves going. But as you say, he’s joining an in form team. Even if fully match fit, there’s absolutely no reason I’d drop any usual starters for his sake.

 

[Hobo]

Can't see him playing for 2-3 weeks even if on the bench. He is in pre season training mode not having played for 5 weeks, he has been on holiday. He will also need a period of adjustment.

Anyway on our current form there is no rush to play him. In the current squad he is replacing Ayari who hardly featured. There is no rush to put him in until he is ready, which was the same with Kitching and Collings.

 

[hamertime]

With Torp it will all depend on how he looks in training with the other boys. If he’s smashing it and at the level I’m sure hell just put him in the squad. Can’t see him starting unless we have injuries.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Torp starts

I would

He will be on the bench at best

May well start the Cup game

 

[David O'Day]

i'd be surprised if he starts that as well, if we don't change the midfield on Saturday I think you'll see Allen come in as the midfield change for the cup game

 

[Sick Boy]

Thank fuck you ain’t the manager

There's next to no chance of Torp starting.
