Whilst there’s small elements of truth in the minority of what you’re saying. Other parts are laughable. Only Thompson celebrated with him and that’s because they play on the same side so they have to get on? Come on.
Theo’s work rate and tenacity can’t be questioned, I’ve seen many a Blackpool player who’s ‘playing for himself’ and he’s certainly not under that bracket. What he lacks in natural footballing ability he makes up for in determination and hard work, the Burnley and Bristol City goals being prime examples.
I think the lack of players going to him to celebrate today probably had more to do with how well Gabriel did to make the goal. He does shoot more than the other forwards but I don’t mind that, we’ve been shot shy in my opinion since the start of Critch now so it’s not bad thing to have someone who’s not afraid to let fly.
I’m sure Appleton’s had words with him for missing the bus. There could have been a perfectly good reason why he missed it. He’s a 20 year old lad, his work ethic is good and he comes across as a genuinely nice guy in interviews, cut him some slack.
