According to FotMob (a pretty decent app for scores, ratings and stats), Jordan Thomas leads League 2 for successful dribbles by a pretty sizable margin - 4.5 per 90mins. Next highest is 3.4 (Baker-Boaity).

These sort of things will no doubt alert scouts and put him on the radar for a lot of clubs I'd imagine. It also means we have the best dribbler in the league right now!

Scott Bennett is also joint top of the interception stats with Conor Thomas - 2.8 per 90. And we lead the team interception chart too making us the best interceptors in the league :D

That's great to see.

What I like about Thomas of late is he seems to be a bit more tenacious getting tackles in.

He's improving his all round game definitely. As fans we see him take players on and know he's great with the ball at his feet, but it's nice to see he is right up there as one of the most direct dribblers in the league.

Other than May, it feels like forever since we've had exciting attacking players that get fans off their seats.

Who else is already picturing a length-of-the-pitch run and top corner curler from Thomas away at Old Trafford in Round 3? That’ll be replaying in different ways in mind’s eye on the walk to work every day now until the second round game is played.

Bennett definitely likes to try and get in front of his defenders to nick the ball away. Great when it works as it has been lately, but it wasn't so much when he was going for them, missing them and allowing the attacker to get free. He's had an upturn in form as well so hopefully he will continue getting to them.

Great to see we have the best dribbler, but I kinda wish he was 3rd or 4th and not gaining much attention.
