Victor Torp (4 Viewers)

Eccles = consistently one of our best and most impactful midfielders
Torp = a couple of bits of impact. Very patchy, in fact we’re trying to justify him via the odd intercept or pass but in reality he’s a way off for me.

The usual argument Stats = good when they frame a player you like favourably.

stats = bad when a player you don’t like is framed positively

 

[Alkhen]

Well…

Said as much on the match threads, he has been good so far at ratting back and knicking the ball. Improving all the time and will look way better with Sheaf.

For me the final piece is he needs to tighten up his speed of thought, you get no time in the Championship.

 

[fatso]

Remember when Sheaf kept getting caught in possession on the edge of our own box, and people on here got frustrated with him?

I think the same kind of things happening to Torp.
There's definitely talent there, but he's still to adjust to the pace and physicality of the championship.

Hopefully we'll see him develop into a very good player, and I'm sure Sheaf coming back will help him.

Hopefully sooner rather than later.

That screamer on debut vs. Wednesday though....

That is his whole career sorted.. Legend.

 

[SkyBlueSam01]

Been excellent so far, really really classy player

Would love him to shut people up who claim he's 'simply not quick or physical enough for this level'

Looks like he's really starting to find his feet in the championship, I think he'll get better and better with more game time. When Sheaf is back it will give him more chance to play as he'll have top notch support.

I don't see that at all thought he played really well today!

 

[Evo1883]

Think the booking didn't help him today .. but a better performance overall by him

 

[Warwickhunt]

He was sailing close to the wind today after knobhead booked him though!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He was sailing close to the wind today after knobhead booked him though!

Can’t exactly complain at that particular booking though.

 

[Hobo]

Sounded like he was more at it today? But I still think it will be Sheaf, Eccles and Rudoni as our first choice midfield three.

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

I wanna be convinced he’s gonna come good because the alternative is Jamie Allen but I just can’t see it. Thought he was rolled far too many times today which lead to them breaking. When the midfield is already lacking we could do without the opposition gliding past him with ease

 

[shmmeee]

Thought he had his best game for us today. Was physical, much better positioned and used the ball really well at times.

Eccles was the worst of midfield 3 today? Not that it.makes him bad but I wouldn't be looking to drop torp anytime soon

I have heard that before about Eccles,

then people look at the stats? He stopped a certain goal in the first half.

The player that exists in some people's heads isn't the player that is on the pitch. He just does so much dirty work for us. Graft that fly's under the radar!

Eccles was man of the match in many eyes today . ?

He wasn't being negative about Torp though

Lol here we go hes one of our own blah blah blah

Your right the player he is in some fans head doesn't exist sometimes....

 

[covcity4life]

Not for me

Mve or rudoni for me. Mve I think actually

He was good as he usually is

 

[Cally Fedora]

Much better today. Missed a lot of pre season and it showed later on but encouraging nonetheless

 

[fernandopartridge]

In fairness to Torp once you're on a booking in central midfield it's a tight rope so you have to reign it in

 

[rob9872]

Some nice touches today. Still need more from him, but would be better next to Sheaf as would Eccles, they're both decent, but it's either or rather than both once Sheaf is fit.

 

[fatso]

He played his best game of the season so far today, but he's still got a way to go, he was blowing out of his arse half way through the second half, and could of picked up a second yellow at any minute, he also could possibly of done better for the equaliser when he was caught ball watching. (I'm not saying he was at fault, but could of done better)

But he has a great range of passing, and he's still improving and getting better, so I'm sure we'll stick with him.

He doesn't need to "shut anyone up" he just needs to continue to work on his fitness and strength then he'll be a real asset.

He has definitely got something as it showed today in spells , just needs to do it more regularly

Eccles does the not so glamorous role. he runs, he tackles and that’s it. he does a job. passing can be misplaced at times but he does a job. we don’t expect 40 yard balls or killer passes but he always gives 100%

We may not expect the 40 yard balls Or killer passes, but they were a few on show today,

We may not expect the 40 yard balls Or killer passes, but they were a few on snow today,

He is definitely improving that side of his game and it's noticeable that he is becoming a lot more vocal too

Apart from tiring (as they all did) Eccles had another very assured game

Including wearing the arm band when Lati went off.

Could 'HAVE'

It's Saturday night Baldy, fuck off out !!!

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Yeah. I was worried he was going to get sent off. He definitely stopped himself from challenging a couple of times.
He can pick a pass. That one to EMC at the far post…
