Thing is he seemed to look up and try and bring others into play as well, he did when he chipped it over to Shipley and another where he tried to square it.
Very risky the push in the back in or box though

What based on 15 mins of action?

People seem to have quickly forgotten how good Maguire-Drew looked in his first appearance against Stoke.

This lad looks quality, made a real impact when he came on today, it's a shame Biamou's pass was a bit wayward otherwise he would have been through on goal, great pass for the Shipley 1 on 1. Can we afford to rest Doyle on Tuesday and play Thomas from the start?

Keep using him for the last 20 minutes against tired defenders build his confidence up slowly but surely

Nah, drop Hiwula. Maybe if he'd just come up from the academy but we have him til' Jan. Let's make the most of him.

When Jodi Jones is fit and playing on one wing and with Luke Thomas on the other wing , now that could be very interesting .
But would Mark Robins be brave enough to play them at the same time ?

Wow! How good was this lad. Very early days but signs look so good. Kid was rapid and reminds me of Ryan Kent. Hopefully keep him long than 1st January.

Unless he actually starts playing like Ryan Kent of course.

The difference is Thomas IS quality.
Why consider writing him off because another player had a good game at the start?
Have heard and read nothing but good about him. And have now seen for myself that he looks as good as people say. Not many will keep up with his pace. And he loves going forward. The one thing we have been missing. But the one thing I did like was for a young fast player he doesn't just run at players aimlessly.
Some will say that it proves nothing as he didn't have long to show he can do it all game. But considering he only signed a couple of days before he will still be learning the names of players let alone how they play. He can only get better.
Great start for a young player. Plenty of confidence. I can see him ripping up this division. And I wouldn't be surprised if he is our top scorer this season.

Not seen anything out of Sterling yet. To me Thomas has already done more.
So how are they going to stop Thomas? If he keeps running into the area he is either going to set a shot up or we have a good chance of getting a penalty.
You need to remember that most defenders are in Division 3 for a reason. They might be slow, clumsy or both. A lot can't handle players with pace. I am really looking forward to Jones coming back. Teams won't know what is happening to them if we have one on each wing. I just hope we have a striker that can keep up with them.....or they feed each other.

He was a great little player on his day.
Seem to remember him scoring a cracker v Reading on a Boxing Day?

Jesus wept, off the back of a substitute appearance against 10 men.

very useful debut but lets introduce him gently! because very shortly other teams will target him and put 3 around him which can dent his confidence and fustrate him
Tongue in cheek reply, lighten up

Which is a bonus. That will leave space for other players.
And what do they do if Jones is in the other wing? Use more than half their team to mark two players?
Need to keep calm over his substitute appearance, he looked to have a certain class, showed good vision in picking out Shipley and looked to run at their defenders.
Both he and Shipley came on against tired defenders, a team down to 10 men and who were overcommitting to find an equalizer.
Don't think they should be starting vs Blackpool, Shipley maybe more so as he looked ok v Oxford aswell but still prefer hiwula after winning the pen.

Exactly- playing them both is potentially very exciting (though only seeing 15mins of Thomas let’s calm down a bit!)

Think its sheer desperation looking for sone sort of spark to our season.

Checked where he’s playing now..French third tier, 508 attendance in their last home game. Better than I expected

He's a steward there
At least you wouldn’t have to buy a ticket as he would be sure to let you clean through!

And? Other City players have done worse in the past....what's the point of 'leaving that there'?Nothing at all to do with what he's like as a player

I’m aware, I just didn’t want to create another thread saying ‘Luke Thomas cheating on his girlfriend’ so found the thread on him when he signed
Like what Maddison did, it’s news. Anything about a footballer involved in some sort of controversy will attract media attention
