"Flaccid Member"?

Matt Smith and the Dimwits has a nice ring to it as a band name tbf

Occasionally. And plenty of other times he is clearly a big problem to defences, and I'm confident his contribution will grow and grow. I suspect he's going to be a hero :)

... and continues on a downward slope for the rest of the year

Torte is also a cake. Eccles and torte would be a scrumptious midfield.

Because you like saying never?

Yeah but he also occasionally makes a hash of things with poor control, and for some people on here that's all they see.

Not at this stage, although he does look promising. As an example, I noticed that he hid a bit when we had throw-ins, whereas Sheaf always shows for the ball and nonchalantly deals with it. Edit: that's not a criticism, it's only his second game!

Not read the thread, so it has probably been mentioned, but I was directly behind the line of Kitchen's shot and it had a vicious swerve on it. No real blame on the keeper for parrying it.

Torp did well when he came on tonight, especially considering that he appeared to be pulling pints in the Stella Bar at half time.

20 years to write your dissertation! Lazy or just meticulous?

The second coming :)

'Kangaroo Kirby' wasn't he!

Yep, many skills including whipping a wicked left-footed cross around a defender. Can't think of anyone we've had in the last few years who could do that. Too often we just spoon the ball into the box.

Amazing long range passer of the ball, but barely broke into a run as I recall.

The cracking goal by Torp prompted some mentions of debuts on the other thread. Two debuts I saw live which will always live in the memory are: Steve Hunt at Derby in '78, which was also the debut for the chocolate brown kit! Hunt scored a belter with his left foot, and went on to be a superb...

The 'Wright is a CF' thing seems strange to me. In the highlights reel from previous clubs he was nearly always bombing down the left.

Nope, all introverts again

I don't recall his goal, or anything much about his performances, but I do remember being impressed by his leather jacket when he signed

Oh Victor Victor... (works fine actually!)
