Conor Thomas
Moderators: Admin, Ralph, asl, Robin
I know it's been said before but I feel like it should be said again until it's more widely recognised. Especially as I was one who was calling him the weak link that needed to be replaced. He's one of those players that gets stick and goes unnoticed but has a big impact. Noticeably we seem to struggle a lot more when he has been out of the team. He comes back in after basically 2 months out and plays 120 minutes straight off the bat. And our midfield, despite consisting of pretty much just Thomas and Ellis Chapman (May dropped deeper a couple of times but was, for all intents and purposes, a third attacker), who hasn't had many starts, seemed to control the match more than it has with three players in it recently. Both Thomas and Chapman appeared to have quiet games, but I think a lot of that was down to their positioning and ability to not overcomplicate the play. Get it/win it and move it on. Yes, he makes mistakes here and there but pretty much every player has.

Agree with every word. Adapted to 4 4 2 when needed as well.

The passing stats would back that up.

True, given that a large part of the 35% is probably Mr Boyle 'passing' out of defence. Just as well he is in top 4 of our goal scorers!RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:The passing stats would back that up.
