He’s still a boy physically, got a bit of maturing yet and he’ll be just fine 

Exactly the point I made

Didn’t look out of place at all yesterday, he’s definitely come on a long way confidence and ability wise from the boy thrown in against sheff Utd and Spurs 

[FOXSE]

I am sure bringing young players in to play whilst there are no fans is a big help. By the time fans turn up, Thomas will have a good few games under his belt so more confident....

For sure, gives them that time to bed in and be a touch risky in their play without a crowd to get at them

Isn't it mental that we can sell a home-grown left-back to Chelsea for £50m, and immediately promote another one from the academy who looks like he could be even better? I can clearly remember the days when we all hoped Alan Sheehan or Matt Heath might be decent Championship players.

 

I think Thomas looks an excellent prospect. Some areas of his game are already very good. Crossing, especially.

He’s 30 and he plays for Rotherham United. He’s an average Championship player. I don’t really see your point?

Yeah, I decided not to list every single player for some reason. Maybe that was wrong. Don't know what your point is.

More an observation than a comparison and do you often insult people you don’t know ?

..I  thought the conversation was regards defenders who we believed had the potential to have a good career in the game!!!

 Mattock would be seen as part of the academy development and although his dubious choices off the field, led to him being unable to fulfill his obvious potential, he was a product of this club.

 I can not recall if we have played against a team containing Mattock  and won.

 He has played for England:

Under 17

Under 19

Under 21

..that comment was supposed to be a humorous dig at Mattock and his comment regarding wanting away!!!

  Not having a dig, just though it would have been obvious the point I was making.

I see. Apologies. It went over my head. Yeah, Mattock was a classic case of ideas above his station.

The original plan months ago was for him to go out on loan, not sure if his games at the back end of last season changed the clubs mind, or maybe we were unsuccessful in signing the LB we wanted.

Was it? Good young player wanting a move to a better club at the time. Probably doubled his wages and potential opportunity to play in the prem for a club close to his home. We’d just been relegated too, can’t blame him really. 

[The People's Hero]

I hope Thomas does get his move, but I also hope we have a decent recall clause.

Yeah, on reflection, I think you're right. I just had in mind his and our trajectory since. And him punching women in town, of course.

Yep, don’t know the man personally so won’t judge him but his reputation isn’t fantastic.

Got himself a no nonsense trim recently.

We'd just been promoted and he played over 30 league games in the process - I never begrudged him the move (Berner was a class above, regardless) but we weren't a complete basket case when he left us, he was very much part of an upwardly mobile club.

He's the modern day Jonny Unitas.
