Billy bodin

[bobby93]

Got to say, completely not even thinking about THAT nutmeg, Billy impressed me last night. He won't go into my top five in the MOTM thread when I visit it next, but I thought his effort and general body language/attitude looked a lot better, especially in the first half. Hopefully this is a turning point.

I'd drop him at Cheltenham, one swallow doesn't make a summer.

I'm actually really glad that we singned Bodin as now i can leave Stevens alone.

Jeez Andy, that was a brief short post. What's come over you..? :~D

This is the last thing we need: Billy will miss two games due to international duty..!!

I wouldn't deny him that opportunity, and wish him all the best, but it's another urgent reason for us to get another loan signing up front.

Otherwise, we should play young Thompson on the wing, with an attacking formation, and give our fringe players more chances to contribute.

I think one of our problems has been a lack of willingness to make changes in the team, and as a result a few players perhaps feel subconsciously that they don't have to make so much of an effort to justify their places in the team.

Having to continually fight for a place in the team is what has brought Man U their success; the opposite could be what has brought the Gulls their slide down the table..

i doubt Thompson will be around the first team for a while, not with his off field issues

[Gullscorer]

That's another thing: why do so many youngsters these days have issues,,?!!?

What's this? I've been questioning Thompsons lack of game time of late.

heard a few people discussing it on Saturday, he got arrested not too long ago ( dont know whether i can disclose for what),also theres issues over his fitness too

Gone to his head at being a pro at Torquay United!

Thanks Roar, I hadn't heard that.

Well I suppose he's got a bit more money than those in the bay in his age group (I say this as a 23 year old student) there's always going to be mishaps (of which alcohol invariably plays a big part), let's hope we don't have another Zebroski on our hands. I personally like Thompson - though, this does explain why he's not been getting any minutes on the pitch.

Is this fact or terraces rumour?
