He does, just needs to work on his game when he becomes involved in an attack and making the right decisions.

Don't get the Nouble love.
Yes he's a decent target and worries defences with his size but I have no idea how a professional footballer can have such a bad first touch.
So basically you are saying Thomas doesn't do any of these things.
So he isn't a great passer or dribbler, he doesn't have pace, can't really shoot, not a great tackler and can't cross.
Is your post meant to be in defence of Thomas?
Can someone elaborate on the penalty that Clarke was lucky not to give away? From block 22 I didn't see it....
Is it just me that though that Fleck have the ball away a lot in decent positions especially in the second half? That's why he only got a 7 from me.

He is a bit clumsy at times but he makes things happen, very direct player. That run he did directly from kick off would have been talked about years if he had a better finish or pass at the end of it.Don't get the Nouble love.

I would suggest if he played like Haynes did today he would have been pilloried.
Haynes today was very poor.

clarke is not a wing back had plenty of opportunities in the final third to have an impact but he was ineffective, we seem to go down the right utilising clarke rather than haynes on the left
Exactly as we saw it.Quite a simple answer to that.
Haynes was targeted as a danger by Yeovil, so they spent the game denying him space and crowding him out. Therefore a lot of stuff came down our right hand side.
You may not have noticed, but when the ball went out to Clarke on the right hand side he got very little, or no support. No-one came and made runs outside him or on the overlap to become an outlet and therefore he was quite ineffective as an attacking threat.
When Jackson came on in the second half he started to make such overlaps and supported Clarke and therefore Clarke came into the game more.
It was a simple case of Haynes being denied the space and Clarke not getting the support he needed on the right until Jackson came on.
Exactly as we saw it.
Yeovil did their homework at half-time and their defenders man-marked him out of the game second half. He looked a little intimidated at first but that's because he is young and inexperienced, but then came back into it as the game went on.
Personally think Jordan Clarke works very hard but had no support yesterday until Simeon Jackson came on.
Allsop - 6 - didn't have anything to do.
Clarke - 6 - needs to get forward more but solid nonetheless.
Willis - 7 - solid
Webster - 7 - solid
Johnson - 8 - solid + good goal
Haynes - 6 - didn't do anything
Fleck - 8 - excellent
Thomas - 6 - non-existent. Pass completion doesn't count when all you do is make 5 yard passes.
O'Brien - 9 - superb performance, unlucky with the shot.
McQuoid - 6 - non-existent.
Nouble - 7 - played good and did well for the second goal. Looked a bit clumsy at times.
Subs:
Jackson - 8 - good poachers goals and looks like he'll replace the pace of Wilson
Phillips N/A
Hines N/A
Definitely at fault for the goal though. He was solid besides that, but that one slip cost us a goal, that's why I plumped for a 6.
I've become accustomed to Andy Webster turning like a bus with the reactions of a sloth.
Tis a worrying aspect of his game that. He lacks a bit of sharpness in our own penalty box and I think he can be turned quite easily at times.
Thomas was decent. Why he is constantly criticised I don't know.
Probably because that's his best performance for a long time?
