New Signing Confirmed (Dominic Thompson)

[Grayth]

Maybe but I'm sure he can offer more than Anderson did against Everton.

Probably not. An average full back isn't a winger/attacker.

Probably not. An average full back isn't a winger/attacker.

Why are people always trying to play people out of position?

It's bizarre

 

[PdxTangerine]

Wasn't Crainey the one Leeds fans said could barely play football?, anyway, he must have something about him to be trusted in the PL and not look out of place.

Not an exciting signing but a signing and one with potential.

P.S I also love future Blackpool FC legend Jimmy Husband.

Pleased with this sounds good. I wonder if worth trying Garbutt in front of him instead of Anderson.

Garbutt would be more effective there, ( as he was when playing at Ipswich).
He is not a full back. Prefer him to Anderson.

I would play Apter in front of LG

Similar to Rhys Williams I hope we don't expect too much too soon. He sounds like he is at a similar stage of development to Jordan Gabriel when he first joined us. He may take time to settle in and hopefully having Husband back soon will take some of that pressure off.

 

[Lost Seasider]

Certainly getting mixed reviews, however he's playing CB and not wingback, seems he's decent at defending.

Still young and the recruitment team and Appleton see the promise in him, so all we can do is give him that support.

We always seem to get more out of players anyway, I put it down to the great atmosphere and at positive support at the games.

However it's not great to hear some of the comments we have seen including Ipswich some on here.

It seems odd to me that both Swindon and Ipswich have played him as a LWB when he seems to be a more defensively minded LB, that could be affecting some reviews, hopefully it's also a sign that he can offer something going forward.

There's a pie chart on twitter that suggests he was one of the most accurate left back crossers of a ball last season in L1, and mitch cook responded all excited about Gaz winning the golden boot.
