I know I started a Thomson thread last week, and no, I'm not Kevin Thomson, but why he never started today is beyond me. Head and shoulders above everyone on the pitch the last 20 minutes. If Butcher can't see he's the best player we have, then I'm worried.

Where was Alan Maybury? You can't blame their goal on Thomson, at least he tracked back.

Passed the ball to a Hibs player about 8 or 9 times which must have been about the best pass completion rate of any of our players.

Up attacking with the other eight Hibs players who were there. I don't see how the second was in any way his fault :confused:

Edit - Unless he was the one guy back, in which case he can be forgiven for losing out against four Hearts players.

Ball drops in midfield in exactly the position he should've been/normally is in.

Really? Down to ten men and chasing a goal... I don't think I'll blame anyone for that! Just one look at forster's 'goal' shows me what Kevin Thomson brings to the table! Miles and miles ahead of anyone in this side! Him and Stanton should be our middle two for next year!

Would be the first pick for me when fit and available with the likes of Stanton and Harris benefiting more from his calm passing rather than the hoof up the park method currently being witnessed.

An absolute disgrace that he didn't start today. We only started playing when he came on. I'm really losing patience with this change 4 players every week stuff from Butcher.

And if the boy Boateng isn't good enough to handle the laddies that hearts up front had then I seriously wonder what's going on as playing Maybury was just ridiculous.

Thought the team was much more composed and willing to PASS the ball when Thompson and Harris came on, we looked more purposeful - don't understand why it took Butcher long to get them on ... it was obvious early on the in the game that the "game plan" wasn't working and needed changing ... blaming Thompson for the 2nd goal is pretty pathetic really ...

It's all about opinions on a forum but for me he was doing all the basics very well when he came on. Needs to be in the starting 11 next time and remain there for 2-3 games anyway as we are really really poor at the moment.

When he came on he was the one Hibs player who showed a bit of class and composure. His constant omission from the starting 11 amazes me, one of many poor decisions by TB & MM.

On the face of it you wonder why. Maybe he does too much in the background that pisses the management team off?

Correct in my opinion.

neil7908
30-03-2014, 03:12 PM
Needs to start next week. Big problem for us today was that Stanton had to keep coming back to pick the ball up. Before Thomson came on he was effectively trying to run the game from deep but had no one else in midfield or up front to link with.

I'd like to see Thomson dictating from his usual position sitting a bit deeper and have Stanton playing a bit further forward where his skill and movement can hurt teams. He's wasted picking it up on the half way line with a static forward line in front of him.

I like Taiwo for his energy he was the best pairing with Claros and think he could be good with Thomson if Bucher plays though the midfield.

Thomson, when he came on, helped us retain the ball far better. We played far better as a team when Thomson (and Harris) came on as the ball started to get played on the GROUND! When hibs started to pass it when looks much better.

Well blame the others too then.!!!

Hibs only started playing when Thomson came on!

He showed a calmness we were missing all first half, we went for the goal at the end and therefore got caught on the rebound because Maybury was in an early bath.

Thomson is NOT our saviour but he is a damned good player and can create and drive a team on from midfield, NO ONE did that in the first half NO ONE!

If Butcher cant see the skill in the player then he should stop harping on and play him!!!

He came on and gave a bit of guidance to a young forward line who where getting pushed off the ball and given no time what so ever on it either.

Its Thomsons commitment to the jersey we havent got in the rest of them that worrys me!!

So he wasn't posted missing. To be fair, every player loses possession (I saw Iniesta lose the ball last week) but not everyone has Nelson and co behind them.

He didn't lose possession. If he had been in position (ie not posted missing) when the ball dropped 35 yards out he wouldn't have had to run the length of the park with no hope of getting near the ball.

Got to say I agree that he's possibly the classiest player we have in the squad and I was perplexed when Thomson was named amongst those no longer required in January. I guessed at the time that maybe he was one of the higher paid central midfielders and because of Fenlon's seeming desire to fill the squad with players who could play defensive midfield he was told to find another club. All the same I don't think he lacks commitment to the cause and have been surprised he's not been used more - but has he not had some injuries that have kept him out for most of Butcher's tenure anyway?

With a four man midfield and with him being the only CDM I'd agree, but surely he could fit into this five man midfield today? While Thomson may struggle for fitness and energy, with either Taiwo (preferably) or Stanton (I'd rather see him further forward) next to him they could do some of his legwork. There were times where we were crying out for someone with his skill and composure in the first half, and it certainly benefited us when he did come on.

So when exactly did you catch Thomson sleeping with your missus, it's the only answer I can give for your seemingly hatred towards the guy.
Again I'll emphasise what other have said, we were down to 10 men with a few minutes to go, Thomson like nearly every other forward and midfielder was pushing forward to get a goal that would've at least saved some face, we got caught on the counter, it happens in these situations but to try to pin the blame on one single players is is incredibly petty and childish. :confused::rolleyes:

While I agree that Butcher wants to play with pace, at Inverness he used Tudur-Jones in front of the defence to stop opponents' attacks, It's a role a fully fit Thomson could play better than either Tudur-Jones (who Butcher wanted to keep at ICT) or Taiwo. However, I suspect that Thomson's injuries have taken their toll and he'll leave in the summer as he can't get back to his previous level.

I'm certainly not Thomson's biggest fan and I was glad he wasn't involved today after watching the debacle at Perth. However he did vastly improve our midfield this afternoon.

I have no idea what our best team is but we need points. He needs to make his mind up and stick by it, same with the tactics. He started with 4.4.2 when he came in, tried his 4.2.3.1 and I've no idea what he's playing now.

He quickly needs to get his best players on the park.

My opinion would be Williams, Black, Forster, McGivern (CH), Stevenson, Watmore, Jones, Thomson, Stanton, Craig, Heffernan. 4,5,1 in defence, 4,2,3,1 in attack.

Get Robertson back as soon as possible and put him in for Jones. Cairney can replace Watmore, Cummings can replace Heffernan and Harris can replace Craig. The remaining imposters can stay on the bench.

:agree: Im not his biggest fan either - and he got caught cold with the 1st goal....along with Forster and Nelson btw

However, for the last 60 mins, he was nigh on the only one taking genuine responsibility and demanding the ball

Id defo have him in for the Derby.

I didn't think OTJ was as bad as made out either and id be tempted to drop Haynes from midfield and bring in Watmore for the weekend

Watmore OTJ Thomson Harris

Stanton

Cummings

Either that, or drop OTJ and go with 2 up....either way, have a go at the Jambos.

I think having OTJ in there makes sense though, as will be a bit of a battle....but we need to have pace alongside

First goal the midfield scorer goes past him with him ball watching and not tracking back. 13 seconds in and sleeping.

Absolutely dreadful, but I had to laugh at some hack's comment that we did well to hang on for 13 seconds. Fair play, we've brought it all on to ourselves and it's open season for having a cheap go at Hibs. :rolleyes:

All those amazing 5 yard side-way passes, really showed his class.


I know, you wouldn't see Taiwo do that. Thomson is one of our best players and he is having to sit on the bench each week watching the dangerous, direct Taiwo. Its good to know when there is a chance of a defence splitting through ball that with Taiwo on the park he will try it and not turn back and play it to Nelsen for an aimless hoof up to the quality target man that is James Collins.

My team for the derby would be-

------------------------------Williams------------------------------

--Maybury-------Forster-------------McGivern---------Stevenson

Watmore--------Thomson-----------Stanton--------------Cairney

-----------------------------Zoubir----------------------------------

--------------------------Cummings--------------------------------

He does bugger all. To be honest I never thought he was particularly great first time round either. Overrated in a big way IMO just because he can do the basics and pass the ball 10 yards. Offers little else.

He looks like he needs more game time and his range is a bit off but I would pick him before Craig, Taiwo and TJ. Ultimately, we need better players than him to play with Stanton and Robertson and his like should be on the bench next season.

Pretty sure he's already signed a pre contract else where. Would still have him in the team though.

Don't think so. I think he'll be at Hibs next season.

No. Not now nor in my previous posts.

It's hard to get folk to listen though when they've made up their mind that getting KT in the team solves everything. Despite the fact that our best period of the season he wasn't in the team.

He played one good pass I recall today but we've to remember that and forget the mistake(s) he made, is that what you're saying?

Our best spell was without Taiwo and with Cairney. When Butcher got the job he dropped Taiwo from his first game in charge picking up 13 points in 10 games and since the reintroduction of Taiwo we picked up 6 points in 8 games also when Cairney was dropped. If you ask me the our best spell wasn't because Thomson wasn't in the team. Thomson never played in the 8 games we picked up 6 points either so I don't feel that is a great point. Heffernan never played in our best spell but it doesn't mean he is worse than Collins does it?

Don't care what anyone says Kevin Thomson should be our club captain. If the players care half as much as he does we wouldn't be in this position.

Cairney is a poor player but he does set up a lot of goals.

Maybe a midfield of

Watmore Taiwo Thomson Cairney
Stanton

(Swap Robertson for Taiwo if fit)

Never read the she thread but can say this. Was at Paisley and thommo never hid, looked for the ball all the time, dropped deep, went forward, passed well. Best player by a mile and had bottle most of team mates didnt
