He didn't play too well today, but in his previous appearances in his second spell, he has looked a far better player than before. I have to say we may be looking for scapegoats after a 0 - 4 defeat, and that is not the name of the game as far as I am concerned. In Hill I trust. :) [Post edited 12 Nov 2016 21:22]

He wasn't great today but why scapegoat him? There's a few who weren't great today. Overall his performances this season have been much better than his last spell here. | | | |

It's not that he was that poor today, or that he's been that good previously this season , he's played at a similar level of consistency for his whole career.
Do I believe he's good enough to be starting games in L1? Far from it. Do I understand why he is? Yes. |  |

BBC Radio Eyre were amazed when he wasn't the player sacrificed after the Canavan sending off! |  | | |

Couldn't understand why we're backs to the wall Hilly takes Raff off and plays Thompson at right back. |  | | |

Please please please scapegoaters, go and support another team.
RAFC has had the best decade of it's career and sat hiding in the shadows are individuals who jump out and post OP posts like this.
I'd rather do without you in the same way you would rather do without JT. |  |

Bit harsh. It sounded like a suggestion rather than amazement to me.
Also, Eyre gave Thompson one of those mock award thingies pre match for the way he's battled back to League One football following illness.
I was talking about my dislike of sycophantic posts on another thread, well the OP here is the kind I dislike at the other end of the scale.
No need. |  |

It's great that only a select few on here can criticise without it being wrong |  | | |

I think sometimes it's down to the terminology used. There is nothing wrong with expressing an opinion that a particular player isn't good enough, especially when it can be backed up with evidence ie. the player's performances. It's just that when a post comes over as a personal attack, it'll be challenged.
I thought Thompson looked way off the pace yesterday, with his part in the first goal illustrating that perfectly. | |

It's not criticism, it's absolute abuse where it is not needed.
Joe Thompson is stealing a wage.
RNL is stealing a wage
Fact is that both of these players were signed by Chris Dunphy and Keith Hill. They are employees of RAFC. They do not choose where to play or when to play, Keith Hill does that.
They do not choose that other players get in ahead of them, Keith Hill does that.Neither player is an obvious first XI player, everybody gets that.
If the OP had simply said 'JT played s*** today' I would have no problems. | |

'Why do we let him steal a living off us year after year?'
I'm sorry but that's not criticising - that's not being critical of a bad day at Bradford, thats personal - and not even correct! He's been away from the club for what? 4 or 5 years? Its pathetic. | |

Yesterday was just one of those days for me. Thompson didn't have a good game at all, however I would say he's had a very positive season so far and is a useful player to have in the squad. We're down to absolute bones at the minute so we could just do with sticking together through this rough patch | | | |

On the other hand without JT and RNL they'd have been two more inexperienced players yesterday. Yes yesterday was his worst performance in this spell but JT hasn't played badly recently. |  | | |

When it became clear RNL was coming on, I thought it made sense to take Thompson off as he hadn't got into the game.
This is how much he is stealing a wage. Before yesterday, I think he'd started seven games for us and we'd won six of them. Was he ever motm? No, but he played his part in all of those games (not much in the Southend win) and the abuse rather than the criticism is aimed at his first spell rather than anything that he's done second time round.
And it's always worth considering that he played yesterday because we could not play the likes of Hendo, Calvin, Vincenti and possibly others ahead of him. |  | | |

Just watched Goal Rush with Thompson accompanying the Bradford player to the bye line before he crossed for Clarke to score. | |

I watched it too. Strange how two people can have two totally views of the same action. It was nowhere near the byline and I don't know what you saw that prompted the word 'accompanied' :) If we had scored that goal, it would have been 'fantastic cross and a brilliant header'!
We outplayed them for at least half the game, had some bad luck and they scored good goals. A couple of years ago, it was a mirror image :) It's known as 'sport' :) | | | |

The first goal (scored by Clarke) wasn't a header. |  |

You are absolutely correct. I thought the post was referring to the second goal. Please substitute 'shot' for 'header' in my post. Thank you :) My comments will equally well apply to both goals. | | | |

DDB he is shite, nobody can deny that. I didnt go Saturday so couldnt watch him , but he was woeful for the first goal let the guy turn him inside out twice then no attempt to stop him. He was also in the ineffective wall for the fourth. He really isnt good enough, never has been in my opinion, if Barrow didnt want him it says volumes. The matches I've seen him play he has been useless. | | | |
