Personally I don’t see how a choice between Ennis and Thomas is even a question
Ennis without a doubt is a much bigger threat than Thomas.That's not a criticism of Thomas either.
Yep buddy, I will take that I am a fool, I like people to think that of me. It gives people a sense of superiority I can turn to my advantage and they are off guard. For instance I find it strange that you want Bolton to have a minimum of three points deducted for not playing the same young team three times in a week as your post on the 26th of September, but don't want us to play our strongest team over the same time period, because they would get tired. It's about being a fool consistently, and not thinking you are brilliant sometimes, I just act the fool all the time, it is easier.
Retdon1, each player brings different things, but the main thing Thomas may bring that he did at Southend is the way he got his goals. Both were from the six to eight yard area in front of goal, an area of the pitch where a lot of goals are scored from, and an area that apart from Marquis, we have had very few players who naturally get in those positions. Sometimes players like Crouch, Cascarino, etc. come along who make the difference to a good footballing side, Thomas maybe able to find that niche.
Got away with a point todayCOYR

Why oh why do we try to play our way out from the back when we are being pressed high up the pitch. They knew how we play so common sense says don’t do it. Twice it cost us a goal and it could have been worse. Just as well Burton’s finishing was very poor.We had Thomas up front and we should have used him far more often than we did. He is improving game by game and did well holding the ball and winning flick on headers.

If they press us and we can play it then we can find gaps and hit them on the counter.
The only way you can describe that result was that we gave the two pints away.

He does his homework. We needed to be a bit cuter today than we were. Think 7/8 of our team were not at the races today. You can’t expect to win football matches when that happens can you. Thankful of a point. On another day we would have lost that game.
