Lawson Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Has anyone actually seen anything decent from Thomas in the first team yet?Just missed headers and inaccurate passes...needs to get a bit more experience before he can make a first team start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I really can't see what other people, including the OP people see in Thomas. He can't control the ball, he can't head a ball properly, he has no real pace, he gets brushed aside to easily and he does a lot of running without really knowing why or where he should be running too. He's like a **** Izale McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanRam Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Not ready for first team yet.I have not seen as much of him as others on here,but the limited time I have seen him,not been all that enthused tbh.As others have said I would not mind seeing Dawks in the centre role or if it is JR again,cool too.

Guest Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 It should have been Simon Dawkins, and it should have been him from the moment Bent got injured. That's my only criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knabby crackers Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Russell is very poor in the target man roleWe only were a threat after Kwame came on last night. Russell needs to play wide and please shoot at the goal when you have the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We need to now concrentrate on top 6 and forget about top 2.Dont start with Johnny upfront againDont think Kwame is the answer but what have we to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtains Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 For goodness sake if Russell plays as target man much longer I doubt we will make the play offs. I have seen Kwame loads of times and I know he has his limitations but he is a much better option than Russell in that role. I thought I was watching ping pong last night the amount of times the ball kept coming back first half. Russell didn't even win one header.

peakram Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Did you not see Russell at Norwich for 90 minutes?Biggest nuisance I've seen, rightfully kept his place based on that performance. We don't need to go chopping and changing because we found it tough against one of the best defence's in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I don't think Thomas was a direct threat against boro but he gave us more shape and we seemed more threatening in last 15 minutes. I can see why russell ward and ince all played but it does mean we have three wingers and no central strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 What have I missed with Thomas? Where is this hold up play? Just watch the full 90 back and point me to the bits he did which show the promise. I'm not being sarcastic. It's a real question. What am I missing? If you want a nuisance to defenders then play Jack Russell up front. No. That's not a typo.

RamNut Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I can't be bothered to read the thread but......... russell is alright, he's working his nuts off and played very well at brighton.he played with a broken nose last night and still caused the greatest threat when he dribbled right across the box.the service to him was poor whether hoofed from the back or miscued from the flanks.I've seen kwame thomas a few times and he does not impress me at all.sorry.russell> thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We lost 0-2 to crappy Brighton He dribbled right across the box what use is that if you don't shoot .I remember it well and thought how bad was that has he got a right foot or what. Look Kwame is not the finished article but IMO we have to dtart the lad . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtains Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 The fact that we lost to brighton wasn't Russell's fault.can you remember a better effort from anyone v. Middlesbro?thomas skips around like a bloody girl.....i'd rather have callum ball tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I don't wish to sound condescending (no really, I don't) but I think you're mistaking 'Russell not being good enough in the role' with 'Thomas is good enough in the role'. I don't like Russell playing in that role but he's undoubtedly a better option than Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
