Was the mixup solely the doing of Thompson, or was Jones culpable too?
I do feel that the latter has lapses in concentration too from time to time you know. I'd feel much more comfortable with Hannigan and Harrison together at the back.
It wasn't just the mix-up. He flapped at the ball on three or four occasions.
Tough decisions have to be made in football and he has been given more than enough games/seasons.
Is there any fan who is 90%, nevermind 100% sure he is our best choice?
I can't fault his passion but his kicking is awful, decision making even worst, poor at coming for crosses, struggles to get down for low shots. He is OK at close blocks, which is basically when he throws his whole body at someone shooting 6 yards out.
I feel we always put plasters on Thompson.He has a few OK/stable games in which you expect a keeper at this level to produce and we think all is OK.
I am 100% certain he is not long term and is often protected by a decent defence. The defenders don't trust him, you can see that.
I am being harsh but surely enough is enough. A decent keeper is vital. I have no doubt Stockport's and Chorley's keeper gained both those teams 10 plus points.
Every time it goes back to Thompson most fans hold their breath. Shouldn't be the case at this level.
