Victor Torp (4 Viewers)

I'm not sure when Wright and EMC will be back but I'd wager we'll play several more games before either of them return.
If we keep winning then it would be madness to revert to 4 3 3 when we're in the play off shake up.
If that means benching any of the 3 players you mentioned then so be it.

We'll have all summer to work on reverting to a 4.

We'll be back to 4-3-3, looking at the crossing drills in the most recent unseen video they're still working on the wide players coming in on the back post

Draft excluder idea makes sense tbf. Not sure if I remember seeing it work though mind you!

They're very effective on doors and windows.
As a teacher (still trying to get my head round that) you should be leading by example and spell it correctly - draught, this side of the Atlantic.

Fair play tbh I thought the free kick term was to do with the army and avoidance of being called up because one player hides away form the wall etc

A midfield 3 of Grimes, Torp, and Rudoni is clearly the way to go, although this method of evaluating players is pretty nonsense really.

Sheaf has somehow jumped further across the graph since last time, despite not playing. Rudoni making apparently only 0.1 chances (what a silly variable) per game more than him, yet having about 8 more assists. Torp has a much higher level of vision, and ability to pull off a smart forward move, yet has a pretty low goal assist contribution.

Data like this can be useful, but as I wait for a chorus of laughing emojis, is far too one dimensional to use in isolation. What that paper says paints some irregularities compared to what happens in reality on the pitch overall.

"Clearly the way to go.... ". Not sure about that as v QPR Torp was doing a good impersonation of Sammy Clingan?

I think Torp is a useful player to have around but not a must have in the starting lineup

I thought that, didn’t look to play forward enough

He has been excellent since Lampard came in overall, and a big part of our turn around, particularly in midfield. Whilst I agree he was not good in that game, I think we can forgive it in isolation!

As I said he is good to have around and as I have always said he has some very good qualities. But for me he is still in the must improve camp, especially around consistency.

I still see him stronger as an attacking mid on the edge of the penalty area. Rather than a box to box mid as he has not got the pace (and you can't really develop that).

Saw a stat on X yesterday that only 4 midfielders s in the championship have a higher successful chance creation and his interception rate is also near the top of the division.

I think a lot of what he does is quite subtle and you tend to remember more the time he's lost a physical battle. I still don't think we get him into shooting positions enough.

I think Franks go to midfield will be a double pivot and a number 10, Sheaf and Grimes behind Rudoni now on paper that should be one of the best in the league. With Torp, Eccles and Allen backing them up

 

[larry_david]

Annoyed me a few times there give the ball to torp on good positions and he just did the easy thing every time

 

[Bertola]

I've been very up and down on Torp but agree with the above about Tuesday, it looked like he thought because Grimes was there he didn't need to do much and was happy passing responsibility.

Frustrating but hopefully its just a one-off whilst they learn to play with each other
