I’d go for Dovin, shout for MOTM in our last 4 or so. Was always decent but he’s gone up a notch. Same with lots of others but let’s say EMC too - was flying before injury. Torp has been much-improved while I always thought Kitching was solid and just needed a run in the team.
We are top of the "missing most big chances" table. Kitch, Simms and Thomas should be scoring a lot more from corners now as the delivery from Torp and Rudoni is more often than not excellent.
Yeah. Obviously helps that he's a regular set piece taker for us which he wasn't at Huddersfield, but his eye for a pass & weight of ball even in open play is excellent. Still only 23 too which I think is easily overlooked as he's been playing at such a decent level for a while.
Torp has always been one of our best technical players, but it never felt like he was anywhere near where he should be performance wise. FL et al have got him playing up a level. I also think having a sustained run in the team is equally as key to his improvement.
I'm sure the new coaches are doing a great job, but the clear thing with Torp is that he's now had time to get his fitness up to the levels needed, after moving from a less demanding league and then missing pre-season back in the summer.

Your right about dovin, but you don’t want your keeper MOM too often, can see simms is starting to do want Lampard wants more off, would love to see a wright/simms front 2 if we keep this formation, no coincidence either that since lampards been here our midfields improved hugely, early days but he’s improving the whole squad
