Blatter Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I expected Agnew to put the experienced Pudil in at left central defence in the absence of Hector. Great to see Thornily given the nod, and thought he had a very good game. Kept his head when others like Hutchinson seemed to be losing theirs in the first half. Was not overawed coming up against Higuain.Think he has a great future ahead of him. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Seems a level headed and strong lad. Right decision in picking him over Pudil - who leaves at the end of the season doesn’t he ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) He’s always looked a decent player to me Good head on him, and willing to try and organise things at the back The best centre back partner for whoever plays on the right side Edited January 28, 2019 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Don’t actually think he had a great game yesterday but I’m still convinced that he’s a future captain for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beswetherick Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Yep, thought he had a great game. Definitely a player we should build around and hopefully the young lads coming through in the U23s and U18s can make the step up as well as he has.

hawksmore Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I really wish he had been able to play alongside Loovens, even just for the 1 season. His game would have come on so much more alongside a such a good leader and game reader. However, he is still a great prospect for us and he did well yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109Waddle Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I thought defensively we looked good yesterday, which sounds like a strange thing to say given we lost 3-0. I thought the outball just didn’t work. Thorniley didn’t look out of place at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighworthOwl Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The lad must be buzzing he played very well and held his own against an Argentinian international striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannofan Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Looked like he asked for Higuains shirt as they came off at half time. Fair enough I suppose, it might be years until he plays against someone like him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookeh Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Thought he had a decent game. Handled the occasion well and limited Higuain to a couple of half chances. Pretty sure it was him to chopped Willian towards the end, but got away with it without a card. So over all, well done Jordan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Bruce may even go with him and Lees at centre back and play Hector in midfield next to Hutchinson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Good player imo. The one who has come through the academy who looks comfortable at championship level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beholder Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 He's got a bright future ahead of him. I think he could play top level. Would like to see him start more games tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Thorniley can play like that on regular basis, I can assure you that it won't be years before he plays against opposition like that every week. I have to admit that Thorniley versus Higuain was one of those battles that had me face-palming before the match. How wrong was I! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
