oldtimeram Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 He is a bit like King George VI. He is quite a sickly individual. We should not try to rely on him this season, otherwise there will be disappointment again. This is assuming he is going to be fit enough to start a game this season?

oldtimeram Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Realist more like. I have seen players like him in the past that are never fit to play a whole season. Terry Hennessey springs to mind. A very good player, but never fit for more than 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mackay yes, but there are plenty of others that have not come back successfully to the level they were at previously. Anyway, it is not just the broken leg that bothers me with Thorne. He just seems to be made of paper and is likely to suffer any sort of injury that could potentially keep him out of the team again for weeks on end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 He'd played most of the season before Mick's Ipswich side decided "enough is enough" and went through him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was nothing to do with being made of paper, or lack of fitness, he suffered a physical assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeram Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I did not see the tackle so I cannot comment on that, but in my opinion he seems to be a very fragile individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the first time he came came back in Mac's second season he was never fit enough and kept rushing back to soon but in the Clement Dazwaz season he was OK until he met Ipswich...

oldtimeram Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I hope I am wrong and he comes back stronger and fitter and determined to prove any doubters wrong. I would be delighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight, giving him 130 minutes in four days was madness. His Watford comeback was just a throw of the dice as our season fell apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamBamFan Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Am I right in saying Thorne has never played more than five consecutive games for us? I'd take any offer over £3 million for him. Good player but useless when his legs are made of biscuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played most of the 15/16 season till that caveman team from suffolk turned up and that butcher douglas snapped him in two. Could have been anyone. He was smashing it that season as well.

Tbf Douglas is with Natalie Sawyer from Sky Sports so he probably has the right to do whatever he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start of the 15/16 season he played in the first 6 games, then he has had a spell of 8 games up to the Leeds game where Clement changed most of the team, then a run of 7 at the end of the season, he had a few runs of 5 as well. He also finished 13/14 season playing 12 of the last 13 games, missing the final game of the season before the play offs, against Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
