Adam Thompson

Forums New posts
Adam Thompson did have his best season just before he left but is just not good enough in the air. Brave and committed but can be bullied by big number 9, who seem to be coming back in fashion in the lower leagues. Plus as we have witnessed with Turner, its so important it is to have a threat in the oppo's box with our set pieces. If we could improve the delivery he could certainly add more to his tally.

For some reason dangerous CB's always seem to get a vital goals if they do score. Apart from being our best player under CP, Turner has scored early against Charlton, Wigan and Gills. Scored the winner in the all important CP debut v Scunny and has helped us win a couple of pens at 0-0....Which of course we missed.
 
Will be playing in League 2 next season unless he can persuade someone to sign him after Bury’s relegation.

So would I. A 6ft 4ins mobile centre back, and just turned 26. But like I said, he didn't like it here. Probably why we didn't get the best out of him, but you could see he was a good defender and will probably end up in the Championship.

Don't think so.And I currently have a tenner bet with a good mate (also on SZ) that our first choice left back,Ben Coker, won't play higher than L1.

Agree wih you that Bolger was a good player at L1 level (when the red mist didn't fall) though.

Good signing, would have him here over Shaughnessy and White.

Yeah, we know you would. You'd take anyone over John White! Just as well successive managers disagree! :Facepalm:

Nice lad Tommo, learnt a lot from being alongside more seasoned pros with us. Good luck to him.

I said Shaughnessy as well, but yes I don’t rate John White. But regardless of my feelings towards him Adam Thompson IMO is a better defender.
 
ADAM Thompson will be back at Roots Hall with Rotherham United this weekend - but if things had worked out differently he could well have been lining up for the Shrimpers.
