I would like to see Torp as a 10 too but I would have Bassette or Thomas-Asante up front. I think their movement is better and Torp looks the only player who has a killer pass to match the movement. Rudoni could play deeper.

What do you mean by technical ability? He is poor holding the ball up, poor heading, average passer and not a natural finisher (apart from taking a penalty). The only assets he has is pace and being two-footed. Occasionally he has a trick to move past a player. The same can be said of Simms...

I think he has improved this season. Today though he looked fatigued or carrying a knock. He may be injured but if not I would be inclined to rest him.

Disagree. The 10 mins before their goal, they were not looking a threat at all.

Seems to be the pattern that we concede when we are in control of the game. Surely that is a concentration issue. Think Torp needs a bit of a run in the starting line up. Looked good again. Don't get how Simms comes on ahead of Bassette, after his Preston performance. Van Erwijk another poor...

Great start. What a difference playing with intensity makes. After that we cannot hold the ball up. Both Wright and Thomas-Asante both culpable. Rudoni needs to get on the ball too. Without controlling the ball at the top end, it will continue to be relentless pressure defensively.

I think Binks is a quality player. He has only just turned 23 so plenty of development in him. He cost half as much as Kitching and for me is much better. I am sure there would have been other clubs looking at him.

I was thinking about this too. I think only Eccles and DaSilva have progressed from last season. Unfortunately there are more who have regressed.

That's what we had preseason and we were much better organised.

Do referees ever look back at the game they have just officiated? I guess most do not. Yesterday's performance from the ref was so bad. The lack of consistency was baffling. One example where DaSilva was clearly being pulled back from reaching the ball in the left wing position. Then Sakamoto...

I know he gets stick from some but yesterday his defending was excellent. That diving header from our 6 yard box typified his work. He isn't the tallest/biggest but he is strong and good in the air. He always gives 100% and conducts himself really well on the pitch and during interviews. He is a...

Latibeudiere was one of the players who gave everything. Some great defensive work. People were shouting at him to play it forward but rarely had that option due to a lack of movement ahead of him.so had to go sideways.

Robins perception is that we have been playing well without getting the points. I must be watching different matches because in the main we have been awful, with the occasional decent performance (Oxford, Blackburn, Spurs).

I watched the last Welsh match with Bellamy in charge. The coaching team obviously have limited time to work with the players; there were some non-established players in there; and yet they played fluid, high press, accurate and quick passing football. How have we got it so wrong with all the...

I think if we can get Thomas-Asante and Bassette up top we will have bags of energy and movement. That's what we have been lacking offensively.

Has Robins' success been purely down to Vivash? Surely it can't be. Assuming not, then for me stick with him. I would be making changes elsewhere - who has been ultimately responsible for the background changes and recruitment? If Robins, then he is accountable but I suspect not. If Robins left...

Chops and changes but keeps with players who are woefully under performing - Kitching and Wright. One player who has looked a threat is Bassette, who hasn't had a look in. Dovin, in my opinion, did very little wrong. Wilson is a great character and did well v Blackburn and Spurs, but today shows...

Thought he played well. His passing was excellent and a couple of deft ones created chances. The problem for me we had noone able to hold the ball up further forward.
