Sorry i musnt understand the game, im 19 for a start and have played at academies across the midlands- blues, wolves, Villa, Stoke and played semi proffesionally at Hinckley United before they went under 3 years ago. PLease dont try and tell me i dont undertsand the game. Yes i didnt make it and before anyone pull the jealousy card- arent we all jealous of cov kids playing for our local team? Ive seen it before when players ive played with have gone to massive clubs then come back and thought they were the dogs ... funny because when i posted nearly the same comment about Conor Thomas a few weeks ago it was welcomed with praise. Funny isnt it how fickle football supporters are.
Let me explain. 3-5-2 is a defensive formation. All about building from the back. In the centre of the park there will normally be two players (fleck, o'brien) who are attack minded players to give the formation some creativity and forward thinkingness (if thats even a word) then you have a player who naturally sits and holds his position, helping the wingbacks when needed and coming short for an inside pass from them. This player is the one to win tackles and distribute the ball either out wide or to bring in one of the other centre midfielders who are playmakers. Conor Thomas isnt that player. He is weak on and off the ball and not by any means a ball winner. At times againist Gillingham and Yeovil fleck and o;brien could have been further forward if they were confident enough to allow Conor Thomas to win the ball. We didnt have bodies to throw forward and we were put under pressure.
You've clearly only been to one game this season then? Because Thomas has been woeful the exception being Saturday
It's good we've found our new official scapegoat, and at a time when we haven't lost since the opening day too. Solid.

I have an idea, lets drop Thomas and a few others, put all of our attack minded players on and play a 1-1-1-8 and we will win every week. Might please a few.
What about playing a 1-10 formation and have all outfield players bombing forward.
We'd win eleventy billion nil every week.

can we play rush goalie as well?
No, cos that would be ridiculous.
You know nothing about football - plank.
My credentials? - I played for the same youth team (Ise Lodge Utd in the Weetabix youth league in Kettering) and went to the same school as Sean Dyche, and he is the "Ginger Morinho"
Conor Thomas doesn't get any praise does he? When are people going to understand the game. Think about why he is in the team. Not every central midfielder is there to score goals for fun like a Lampard or a Scholes. Think about what he might be told to do by SP and what his role is. He is there to break up the oppositions play and get the team moving forward. Plenty of energy, simple passing, keep possession and work the ball forwards. For me he was excellent on Saturday. Calm, composed and always looks to play it simple.
'Rant over' belongs with 'that is all', as if the person saying it has just dropped a truth bomb that's blown minds.
And that's the end of that chapter.
A bit like Eric Djemba Djemba?
Sorry to the Conor Thomas fan club, merely pointing out that i know quite a bit about the game, tactics and so forth has produced the most immature backlash ive ever seen.
Im sure that these people would love to have Matt Heath at centre half and James Scowcroft up front? What about top it off with a bit of kevin thornton in the centre of the park? I struggle to find a stregnth of Conor Thomas, is he strong, no. Pacey? no. Is he a ball winner? no. how about a playmaker? no. Passing ability? no better than jordan clarke. Does he put the ball in the net
? funnily enough, no. Stamina? probably yes, but Michael Doyle can run around all night but he is still shite.
So could you all take the next left straight out of Conor Thomas's arse.
Conor Thomas offers nothing to this football club. Just a kid who thinks hes better than everyone else because he had a trial at Liverpool. Rant over
'Course it is sunshine.
That is all.
WM

Well I'm not going to resort to that, but I am over the moon Thomas is starting regularly, as he always gives 110% and puts in a shift.Let's all throw some footballing cliches around and hope nobody sees through it!

otis appreciates the praise but its a team effort at the end of the day and he just wants to get his head down and concentrate on the next game.
