If we bring in the Marko lad, I think he’ll play a little further forward which would suit him imo.
Yeh think he's gonna be great.Anyone else expecting big things this season?
Hes given us glimpses of real quality, and with a couple of months rest and a full pre season behind him I think we will have a real player
Fair to judge him around November time would you say?

He’s not the quickest but perhaps that points to a more posession based approach.I have been impressed with him on the ball and although he is not the quickest he looks good in tight situations.
For me the worry is when we are out of possession. Positionally he seems a bit naive and the game can bypass him.
I think he can become a very good player, but what might prevent him becoming really top level is; he seems short on pace.
I’d like to see Torp in front of 2 CDM’s …. I think he would score more and create more than either of this seasons 10’s.
Wright and van Ewijk are both very fast and I understand Mason-Clark is too?He’s not the quickest but perhaps that points to a more posession based approach.
Got to say that while he has a sprinkling of speed in the team, I’ve always had the impression that pace is fairly low down Robins’ list of priorities. He hardly ever mentions it (a notable exception is Simms - who I don’t think is especially fast).
I would say EMC is powerful rather than fast.Wright and van Ewijk are both very fast and I understand Mason-Clark is too?
And DaSilva and Sakamoto. Like I said, there’s always been a sprinkling. But Robins seems to value other attributes more highly and doesn’t often talk about pace when discussing players’ strengthsWright and van Ewijk are both very fast and I understand Mason-Clark is too?

Even though Man U aren't the force they were under Sir Alex they're still a top 6 premier league side and I remember watching Torp in the semi final thinking he'd comfortably sit in their team.Seemed to thrive in that FA cup semi and offer more legs, and played on the edge. He really came into his own in such a huge game when we were in the ascendency . The volley as well was just sublime. Expecting him to replace Eccles this season, feel like he has just that bit more in his locker technically in getting us up the pitch and picking a better pass.
Agree with most of that. Simms does take a while to build up speed. But even at full pelt it’s well short of the speed of say, Wright imo.
It’s that strength you mention combined with reasonable speed that gives him a real edge. Looking forward to seeing more of it again next season.
