Probably our best defender (again) today.
Van Ewijk positional sense was terrible today the number of times they had one or two players on the back post or our right side and nearly got goals from it was terrible, he gets sucked inside to often and needs to take care of his side before helping the centre backs .
Let's be honest, they are both not at the level for a team who want promotion.Torp completed just 59% of passes, that's pretty criminal for a CM and I can't see why Eccles (88%) is getting more stick for being wasteful by some, even if it was his worst game for a long time.
It's hard, Torp is too pedestrian but the only fit CM with creativity. Allen would be better defensively/for pressing but I can't fathom a midfield of Eccles and Allen. We really need Sheaf and another in ASAP if possible
Yeah to be fair Torp was terrible today and his pass completion was awful. But Eccles gave the ball away twice in really dangerous positions by trying to take someone on, one of which we were saved by Bidwell brilliant last ditch tackle.Torp tries much harder passes than Eccles tbf. Eccles is also giving the ball away in horrendous positions more than I would like.

Haha, yes it led to the goal but it was more of a hopeful ball in with a very obvious swing of his weaker foot.
So many diverse and contrasting opinions which is what the forum is all about…..think I’m gonna just stick with what another poster said,’ 3 unbeaten’ and leave it at that. It could have been worse.

I think excellent is a bit of an over estimate. Fantastic goal though.I have to say I thought Palmer was excellent today. People are always on his back but I think he's a really important player for us and I really hope he doesn't leave as some suggest. Not just his goal but his passing and running are great. People say he's lazy and doesn't win the ball back but I just don't see that. He always seems to try extra hard against Bristol as well which helped today. I would be starting him instead of Torp or Rudoni.

I’m joking, calm downthere really are some silly people on here aren’t there - ‘you’re not a man if you don’t go and have a fight with someone because they disagree with your opinion’I think you need to grow up
and in answer to your previous question, I believe “…..you simple twat , get the fucking replay or stfu” was probably where I realised talking sense wasn’t going to work
are you now going to offer me out too? perhaps you could pick up the scraps once Evo has finished with me?
There goal was offside all the pundits are saying and they should of been down to 10 men, poor officiating has cost us 2 pointsIt wasn't great to watch today and althought their goal should have been disallowed and their 8 should have been sent off, I think we did well to get a draw.
But I don't really think it was so bad that we should be talking about the team like they're useless and haven't got a clue. People getting so angry they're offering people out. We were away against a good side and didn't perform to our best, this happens all the time in football. It doesn't mean our new signings are shit or Torp should "fuck off" or "Eccles is League One". It's early in the season and we've got a win, a draw and a defeat, very average start. I think we'll improve when our new players settle and Simms and Saka get back in to their stride.
Keep the faith and PUSB!
Think you all need to chill honestly. Its 3 games... get Sheaf back, get a couple more in hopefully, get Robins to stop kissing the oppositions feet away from home and we'll be ok.The good start to the season that Robins was targeting in pre-season hasn’t really materialised which is quite disappointing.
Oh well though, I’m sure we’ll be ok but definitely not as excited about this season as I was three weeks ago.
Melt.I’m joking, calm down
I agree with this, to a point.The trouble is the level of expectation.
Sluggish and tired are completely differentMR said players looked sluggish. That’s a very troubling statement after a week’s rest. We even have sleep therapist. Are we going back to the tired excuse again? That first half was pathetic and the second half was only marginally better.
Agree. Performances have been poor especially away from home. If we played great but dropped points then there’s something to hang your hat onto.The thing that’s most disappointing is how clueless we’ve looked going forwards in the 2 away games. Absolutely no attacking game plan
Definitely unfortunate to miss out in place of Torp who has not started the season well.I have to say I thought Palmer was excellent today. People are always on his back but I think he's a really important player for us and I really hope he doesn't leave as some suggest. Not just his goal but his passing and running are great. People say he's lazy and doesn't win the ball back but I just don't see that. He always seems to try extra hard against Bristol as well which helped today. I would be starting him instead of Torp or Rudoni.
Well okay, but clearly no energy in our play which is what I’m getting at.Sluggish and tired are completely different
Can only go off what we’ve seen. Looked decent against Oxford, although still need a 95th min winner thanks to a defensive howler, but the performance in these away games has been so, so poor. When the expectations as high as they are it’s only natural for these performances to put a dampener on things. I expect us to get a lot better than we’ve been so far, but it’s hard to get overly excited after watching performances like today’s and Stoke’s.Think you all need to chill honestly. Its 3 games... get Sheaf back, get a couple more in hopefully, get Robins to stop kissing the oppositions feet away from home and we'll be ok.
Not sure many of the other fancied teams look great either but its pretty pointless judging us or anyone at this stage.

There's no excuses, we've had a full week to prepare and we're only really missing 1 player due to Injury.MR said players looked sluggish. That’s a very troubling statement after a week’s rest. We even have sleep therapist. Are we going back to the tired excuse again? That first half was pathetic and the second half was only marginally better.
We can't get going offensively when Torp keeps giving the ball away and Eccles can't get into the game, it means that Rudoni drops too deep, and Saka and Wright become isolated and then Simms is starved of service.Well okay, but clearly no energy in our play which is what I’m getting at.
Does the sleep therapist conduct their session just before kickoff I wonder?!MR said players looked sluggish. That’s a very troubling statement after a week’s rest. We even have sleep therapist.

I'm a Bristol City fan and even I thought Williams could easily have seen red tbh.I usually defend refs but have to agree that was a RED card
All that will be fixed after signing 5 more strikers this coming weekWe can't get going offensively when Torp keeps giving the ball away and Eccles can't get into the game, it means that Rudoni drops too deep, and Saka and Wright become isolated and then Simms is starved of service.
The midfield 3 are our engine room, but it's not working well away from home for some reason.
