The steward point, I am in agreement
I didn't think my assessent of Ben Thompson was that damning, nowhere near as critical as others on other threads and other platforms and I even said I wouldn't mind if we signed him.
But if you could not see any difference in the way he played yesterday to the way he played for us then there is no point debating it with you. His strength used to be his pace over the the first two yards that took him away from players in a flash, and his non-stop energy and running. That was lacking yesterday, but the rest of his game looked OK and as I said he still showed some nice touches. As Jimbon says it may have been because they wasted him playing wide.
But bottom line is that if he had never played for us I don't think anyone would have been clamouring for his signature based just on just yesterday's performance.
