Silko Thomas

[HarryDee8]

Thought he did ok today. For the few minutes he was on. 

 

 Definitely needs trying out some more,  with more regular minutes

Interesting that he’s the one being picked to make the squad. He wasn’t great at Wigan.

Maybe it was a wake up call? He wouldn’t be the first player to get over a flaky start and then build a decent career.

Yet was wanted by a couple of championship clubs this summer

Oh yeah not writing him off just saying he didn’t exactly tear it up in league one.

Marti has name checked him when talking about using the academy so obviously rates him. 
 

Other than Fatawu we don’t really have a RW. 

[Blueman1967]

Get him on the bench, and get him more mins

Jake Evans is better at RW than striker IMO.

I really hope he gets a chance at some point. 
 

Given our struggles up top and not the best depth on that RW there could be an opportunity.

Arguably, Ayew can play on the right. Downside?i He's right-footed.

You’re right but I prefer to pretend he doesn’t exist

Another downside

 

Its Ayew

[99.1% BLUE]

Weird thing to say given he was only on the pitch 6 or 7 minutes, but I liked the look of him. 
 

I know, I hear people say “based on what”, I’m not sure, a confidence/belonging maybe.

 

Anyone else feel the same, Or nah. 

[baldeagle]

I thought he was pretty invisible 

[South Shire Fox]

Hes not a RM, hes a LM that cuts inside

Nice personal milestone for him today but from what I've seen he's nowhere near the level. 

[Blueman1967]

Well done on his goal today

95% of the team aren't

[SecretPro]

Shite. Like lower league 2 shite. No idea why Marti loves him. Perhaps he's blind as well as stupid? 

[baldeagle]

I know he’s not the level we’re looking for but I thought he did quite well when he came on . 

[Pliskin]

Here we go again, “played quite well when he came on” against a team that were 4-0 up at half ****ing time….

[JimJams]

People are getting a real hard on for shitting on him for some reason.  He's been defined by his poor loan at Wigan and maybe disliked cos he's not from our youth system?

[eblair]

Way people talk about silko on here is absurd

We’ve got enough figures to hate, kid learning his trade is hardly the one to start on

But he did , the whole team was pretty shit and I don’t rate him but he did quite well under  the circumstances, , The subs as a whole  made  an improvement to how we were playing all be it  slight

I agree. It's almost weird. He's looked okay when he's played for us this year in his cameos. Certainly nothing to complain about.
