Tielemans63 Posted 25 September 2021 Share Posted 25 September 2021 Don't think he's a bad player but Thomas is better. Luke should be starting with RB as back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best set-piece taker on our team (albeit the others are just shite, so perhaps not a high standard). I like Luke Thomas, and he is getting better every time out but there's not that much between them atm to forego Bertrand's experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of that is to do with playing behind Barnsey I don’t know. The only left back that I’ve felt confident with working behind Barnes over the last couple of years (Barnes, who it has to be said offers little support) is Justin. As soon as he’s fit enough I’d get him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eblair Posted 25 September 2021 Share Posted 25 September 2021 Hopefully it’s something to do with recovering from covid cos he’s genuinely been atrocious, seems lazy and half arsed - never closes down crosses properly looked good in pre season so fingers crossed it’s fitness and he’s not as bad as he looks - no way he should play in front of Luke atm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmayne7 Posted 25 September 2021 Share Posted 25 September 2021 Really disappointing so far. As above, you'd have to hope it's down to recovering from Covid. More frustrating that Thomas has just been ousted for the extra experience, but that experience isn't bringing anything that is better than the youth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whys it always me Posted 25 September 2021 Share Posted 25 September 2021 I’m biased but I genuinely don’t see what he offers different to Luke other than a bit of physicality and experience. His corners were shocking too so I don’t want to hear he’s in the team for his dead ball speciality. luke can’t even make the bench at the minute which is a worry considering how poor we are defensively at the minute.

Pliskin Posted 25 September 2021 Share Posted 25 September 2021 He’s shit. Timmy one side, Ricardo the other. Absolutely waste of a signing in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won 3 lost 1 this season with Thomas, lost 2 drew 2 with Bertrand. Since Thomas debut he has 2 goals and 3 assists in 32 games, Bertrand in the same period has 1 assist and zero goals. Thomas and Barnes together have a good communication too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerrrFox Posted 25 September 2021 Share Posted 25 September 2021 Luke’s a better player. He doesn’t deserve to not start never mind being out of the match day squad completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you're allowing them to develop that partnership and more importantly giving Luke a chance to improve. Bertrand as back up is perfectly fine and a step up from Fuchs but Thomas should be ahead of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeybradger Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 Vestegaard gets a lot of stick but i dislike the Bertrand signing even more, absolutely horrific player when we already had options in his position, at least we were scarce at CB.
