Probably for the best as he's scapegoat number one from our clueless fans and the manager doesn't appear to give him a chance or consecutive matches to prove himself
Far too good for league 2 imo
I suppose it doesn't help that we don't play with fullbacksI think he's too good for FGR.
I also think he has been a tough watch as of late and if we're serious about promotion we need a more consistent, rounded player in that position. All well and good saying he needs consecutive minutes, but if you're the worst player on the pitch in an EFL Trophy game against Burton, does he get the nod in a must-win league game a few days later? Positional/system woes notwithstanding.
It is not just the errors, anyone can make a mistake, it is poor decision making.Was looking good for the first part when he got here. A shame he lost all his confidence after a couple of errors and from that point it seemed everytime he made a mistake it was costly.
A change will do him good and maybe he comes back more rounded.
Good luck Dom, and wish him all the best, don't see any reason to be negative about the guy.
I agree. There's a decent player in there, otherwise Brentford wouldn't have signed him. Dom just needs the right coach and mentor.Probably for the best as he's scapegoat number one from our clueless fans and the manager doesn't appear to give him a chance or consecutive matches to prove himself

Got to disagree with you in part. I don't think he's good enough or shown enough for a regular starting place at this point in time. I'm afraid I saw him in the flesh on Wednesday night and he didn't persuade me otherwise.Probably for the best as he's scapegoat number one from our clueless fans and the manager doesn't appear to give him a chance or consecutive matches to prove himself

He has only started 5 league games under CritchleyGot to disagree with you in part. I don't think he's good enough or shown enough for a regular starting place at this point in time. I'm afraid I saw him in the flesh on Wednesday night and he didn't persuade me otherwise.
Critch has got to manage squad numbers so with the addition of Coulson a move away was inevitible. Hopefully he'll get lots of game time and come back a better player.
Good luck Dom.
For Critchley it obviously was and after a full pre-season yet deciding to start the season with Callum Connolly at left wing back instead.He has only started 5 league games under Critchley
Is that enough to judge somebody on?
Absolutely, he could be a great player but he needs to work on his decision making and composure. He only has doubters because of his poor performances but he definitely has ability, it's a good move for him to rebuild his confidence and hopefully come back in a better headspaceHe could be a really good player if he is able to cut out the errors and get some consistency in his game. This is a make or break loan for him and I hope he can prove the doubters wrong.
It's a tough business but it is only loan. It's down to Dom now to prove himself.He has only started 5 league games under Critchley
Is that enough to judge somebody on?
Appleton doesn't have the greatest judgement though. I like him as a player, but every time he plays he does something stupid, twice on Wednesday, one of which cost us a goal.Was it Appleton who said we'd one day make a tidy profit from Thompson?
I can’t ever get out my head that McAtee goal at home last year.He has only started 5 league games under Critchley
Is that enough to judge somebody on?
As I said he's made errors and mis judged things but the guys 23. I see no reason to crucify him. His confidence is clearly shattered. I wish him well.It is not just the errors, anyone can make a mistake, it is poor decision making.
That header back to keeper from 40 yds was never going to work.
Motm in the previous cup game and there's a player in there so same here good luck to him.Bundle of energy and fit as a fiddle, it's just a shame his judgement sometimes left him at key moments. There's a good player in Dom Thompson, and I hope he does well for FGR. Best of luck to the guy.
