The dream is over 

Be interesting to see how he does.

Jordan Cross will be crying into his beer tonight - no more lazily written Thompson articles from him.

For me another loss - I liked him , sound performances and looked as if he would improve and make a Championship player.

If ever there was a deal on a plate to get done, that was it. Would improve the first XI, would get a lot of fans onside, would cost peanuts, would be worth more than you got him for.

I understand Thompson is not happy with the deal because his agent thought it was Portsmouth and he will scrap the transfer and still come here (desperately trying to keep the Thompson-to-Pompey rumours alive)

You’d sign him even if the manager didn’t want him?

No, I'm trying to understand the decision making process. Something is clearly not working at the club. Any ideas what it is?

Their rumour department is not giving some of our fans enough rumours about signings to fill their empty hours of the summer?

The manager didn’t want him. I don’t like the bloke but if he doesn’t want him then he doesn’t have to sign him.

?? He's been a Championship player for years.

Sorry Deep, drifted into that one - Wrong Thompson ....!

Is it worth Danny speaking to Peterboro to see if we can get him on loan?

Surely a rhetorical question; it's pretty obvious there's a problem, a huge problem and it's at the top!

Morrell is better than Thompson, we've got Jacobs. Thompson didn't do much at Gillingham. End of...

I blame efl ifollow calling us posh

Don't think we missed out did we ?

He ran them today. But he would now struggle to get into our midfield. Should have spent £2M on him that Christmas

I'd forgotten he was playing!

I think he is the first player this season to make Marlon Pack look average. He gave him no time on the ball, actually outjumped him a couple of times and was the hub of their side. That said it is pretty refreshing that we can still look a very decent side even when the opposition go all out to stop Packs influence and close down our back line with such a high press.

I thought Pack still bossed midfield and it was Lowery who suffered more at the hands of Thompson.

I didn’t think we suffered at all. They only tried to crowd midfield because they played 352.

I thought their no7 was excellent today. He picked up every spare ball and was always available.
Outshone Pack and Thomson in my opinion.

I thought their number 4 was vulnerable and will be there for the taking every game he plays. Hated physical contact and wanted to lump the ball as far as possible the moment a blue shirt was within 6 yards of him. I pitty them

Their number 7 was a handful but Pack is definitely the team conductor, everything revolves around him. 5 games in and I already make him POTS. The best signing for about half a dozen seasons if not more.
