I do feel a bit sorry for Thomas Mind. He’s done nothing wrong of late and was actually hitting really good form but Nicholson and Anderson are making themselves undroppable At present.

Totally agree like to see him coming off the bench and told if he impresses he stays in. When he was hitting form looked the business with Sam Nicholson on the other wing. However like Sam he needs to put the ball in the net more.

Thomas is one of the first people JB goes to when the final whistle blows - I'm sure Luke knows that he is playing a valuable role in the gaffer's plan. Plenty of time for him to be in the starting line up when changes have to be made.

Really strange one is Luke Thomas. I'm surprised he's not being used more as a sub. My guess is Barton doesn't trust him? Thoughts? I'm not sure I would trust him as A manager tbh but at the same time he's never getting a run in the side, and with Anderson doing well further forward he might find it even harder.

If he's fit you would always want him on the bench at least. Throw him on if chasing a win/draw with 15 minutes to go and he definitely adds something different to our attack. But yeah he is seemingly now behind the Andersons, Evans and Nicholson as an attacking minded midfield option.

Regardless of anything that was said, he doesnt seem to be a Barton player He goes into a category with the likes of Trev Clarke, Spence etc that were brought in and fallen by the way side for one reason or another

Their body language seems fine.

Thomas is a useful sub to use when we're chasing a goal, unfortunately for him, we're usually trying to protect a lead.

Their body language seems fine. Not particularly criticising Barton here Just saying Thomas is in the group of signings that havent worked out. There has been a lot of trial and error in the make up of the team from the start of the season until now.

There has been a lot of trial and error in the make up of the team from the start of the season until now. Only 11 players can make the team. I’m not sure it hasn’t worked out, he’s played extremely well. He has some stiff competition. We will see at the end of the season. Players will fatigue and get injured and he might end up our crucial player in the last 5 games. I would, however, like to see him get more game time but the players in the team keep doing the business and as said, we aren’t chasing games we are defending them

Underwhelmed with Thomas to be honest, he flatters to deceive for me - I believe his contract with Barnsley comes to an end this year. I can’t see JB looking to extend his loan or even to sign him on a permanent if available - he won’t be here next season imo.

Luke has great talent he will be vital in the run in, he talks highly of joey and the constant hugs prove no problem between them.
I think we will get promoted and he will become a permanent signing, who will flourish next season.
