Can’t see a thread for him, apologies if there already is one.
Really impressed by the lad, he’s come under very difficult circumstances into a struggling team but he’s shown some real ability and it’s clear there’s so much potential in there - even today when he played out of position. Young, Pace, Can beat a man, got a good shot and technique; he also seems a very grounded lad on the interviews. If he’s available next season or on a permanent, we could do a lot worse.

MOTM for me. Passionate, always looking to attack defenders. Put himself about and has a bit of a swagger bout him. Went off because he was shot, physically and mentally. Exactly what we need right now

Weren't there rumours of Watford being interested in Thomas. I'd take a straight swap

I think we need to be careful between long term potential which the lad has and somebody who is trying to prove himself on loan. Let’s see where his contribution is in 6/8 weeks time. But no reason to doubt his ability

It’s a shame that NW can’t call upon his set piece delivery.

Should have crossed it though instead of shooting.

Ndlovu was excellent for us, bizarre to think he only played 6 games in a 1 month loan spell yet became so highly regarded.
We won the game prior to his debut, he scored twice on his first appearance and another two over the next 5 matches. In total his spell with us ended: P6 W4 D2 L0 during which we went from bottom to 19th.
He left at the end of December 2000 to return to Brum, who let Sheffield Utd’s sign him permanently on a free the month after. We didn’t win again until March 2001. We were still in 20th on the final day…until we lost to Brum to sink to 22nd. Bastards.

He played like the sort of striker who has torn us apart for years. Short stocky, powerful, pacey and direct. We all wanted him to square it because we just haven't had a player like that before.

It's crazy how good he is when you look at his track record. Unsuccessful spells at Watford and Ross county

Got a lot of family north of the border. They told me he was a player, even at Raith. Didn’t believe them. He frightened the fuck out them today.

This. He also looks like he enjoys playing football. Plays with a big smile on his face. Think we have unearthed a ringer here.

Booth hat trick I know somebody bagged a few!. Was that his debut, I think he came on as a sub and tore them apart?. Need to Google it!.

There's certainly a player in there but his decision making needs to improve.
Very promising though, naturally talented. Neil could be the making of him.
