    Thomas defensive side of the game is very solid, lots of times he wins and maintains possession of the ball under pressure with a neat bit of skill.

    He also has that ability to step out with the ball on occasion as well. 

    Issue for me is his clearances always feel like they get us in trouble somehow.

    REG at RWB for me (at least until we get someone better than Watson). Then would like to see Jones, Hector and Gillesphey.

    Did he play on the left of the back 3 or in the middle?

    I believe he previously played more in the middle of the 3 but we have used him mainly on the left because he is left footed and Jones has been doing well in the middle. With Jones out interesting to know who got the nod there.

    On the left. Thomas middle

    Potential captain next season?

    @mendonca I couldnt agree more to this, I think hes the settling influence at the back after a shady start (shall we say - probs down to lack of footy), gives great balance with that magic left foot and since the goal saving block vs Pompey, has played out of his skin... was my MOTM last night... but that was a close thing with so many playing well vs Cheltenham.
     
    Agreed he was my MOTM also. Some lovely cross field pings that I might even describe as Naby-like

    Agree with Covered & Naby.....he looks to have a bit of pace and power about him, as well as being able to give the ball a decent whack forward. Not bad in the air either. The sort of player who might do a job in The Championship.

    Add me to the list of admirers.

    He has looked very good recently and as a left footed option he has made us look more balanced.

    REG & Gillesphey have both been fantastic since Jones came in. Long may it continue

    Plymouth outed him as they felt he is not championship standard.

    He got injured and they changed from playing a back 3 to a back 4, so he had one less centre back spot to come back to. In a back 3 I think he might be championship level

    He's got to at least be part of the conversation there. Though I wonder if Jones will avoid having one captain and have the role rotate and switch from game to game.

    How were his long passes?

    His best game in a Charlton shirt yesterday I think, looked a lot more like the player we thought we'd signed
    Agree, once he added a bit of variety other than the default swing the left leg for the long diag.
  • LeuthLeuth
    How were his short passes?

    It feels a novelty to see a left-footed centre back, playing next to a left-footed left wing/back.

    Thought he looked more focused and alert yesterday. He's usually got that casual way about him but he seemed more 'at it', to me anyway.

    I think Nathan Jones is very much responsible for upticks in players form and confidence.

    For some reason he’s pushing into midfield here, leaving Edwards with an impossible 2v1 job with Mullin & Cannon - Cannon has acres of space and eventually scores the goal
  • ChunesChunes
    He managed to head it backwards to their player when he was completely unchallenged and the ball took an age to come down.

    Steve Brown isn't a fan.

    Dobson had an absolutely stinking touch here and he had so much space he was able to take another touch and then pass it. Awful defending from everyone involved

    He is diabolical. Only good thing he did was score and even that was a misplaced header.
