josh thompson linked to swindon

I think he's a decent player but I too have reservaions about his ability to read a game or situation.

His first game against Falkirk, Showumni started running towards our goal. Thomson should have let him run offside but instead followed him all the way back from the halfway line to the edge of our box. It meant he was playing everyone onside and that there was a huge hole in our defence.

It was a rookie mistake by a rookie player. A time on loan at a club where he'll be given time to learn would do him good. I hope it does happen.

 

i think he would be better going to a team in the spl like st mirren or st johnstone

 

you do realise you're comparing a striker to a defender...

 

would be a good move I think......can we put in a clause that they have to take hutchinson with him

 

Yes to legs the size of a tree-trunk and built like a tractor.

Sadly also the manoueverability of a tractor, and the acceleration of a tree trunk.

 

glad im not the only one who thinks so:icon_mrgreen:

 

I met him, bit of a * TBH though

 

whats with slagging the kid off ??? without him getting chucked in at the deep end last season would have ben in even more crap than we where , with experience playing regular and with a steady player next to him he would do well at swindon

 

for all his flaws he looked better than O'Dea from the start and he has several years on him. I think he could be a player in a couple of seasons if he gets the experience and works on his leg power. This season he needs loaned out at a decent level and Swindon would be ideal I think.

 

He wouldnt get a game for my * team.

 

Pity the bhoy didnt have pace...

Loan him out and see how he develops..

 

We should be loaning out Rogne.
Thompson has proven he will be good enough.
I dont think Rogne has.

 

rogne is a lot better than thompson. thompson is being linked to swindon and rogne is pushing for a first team place shows the difference in the two players.

 

Rogne is miles better than JT.

 

To be fair to the lad, I don't see why he's getting all this criticism. He was thrown in at the deepend, and did rather well I felt, better than the guys slagging him off would have coped, and he's only 18.
Looking at him also, I wouldn't have said he was that slow, just his acceleration, but ince he gets going, he can cover the ground. He's a big guy, so he would just need to do a bit of SAQ training to improve his acceleration, which will be easier to do than outright pace.

 

I also believe it was his two goals in a game that won us a game was it not??

 

Aye, 2 good headers, about time other players chip in! I'd MUCH rather Thompson in my side than O'dear O'dear.

 

what games have you been watching????

I like the look of Rogne tho id give him a chance.
