Thought he was very good today. Gets a lot of stick so I know some on here won't give him credit for today still. But deserves a mention. Very good against WBA and good today as well. Broke a lot up

Broke a lot up Don’t think he was ‘very good’ as you put it, but he did his job effectively enough. Decent squad player and can be effective in the right set up

Undoubtedly a limited footballer but I really don't think he is as bad as people make out. Thought he was the better player between him and Laurent.
Played well today, but yes we need better.

Did some decent covering actually but isn’t great in possession. Did what was asked I suppose

Give the lad his due. He was well up for it today. Positive and not afraid to get stuck in. Great performance.

He was very Thompsony, didn't do a lot but got in the way a bit and kept the shape best he could.

But he gets a hell of a lot of stick and a lot of it isn't justified. He did well. Did what he is meant to do and did it well. Just think it's a case of credit where it's due

Yeah I thought he was decent today.
Suspect if they had scored he'd be getting pelters instead.

He was adequate and did OK but I think we need better if we want to progress. Good squad player though.

Job is to break up play and distribute the ball, Thompson does it well enough. He’s not a world beater but he’s decent and consistent enough.

He did well. Did what he is meant to do and did it well. Just think it's a case of credit where it's due This. Thompson is solid enough and I quite like him as a squad player. He is not a world beater, but certainly not as bad as some make out. A decent showing from him today. It will be interesting to find out why Pearson was on the bench though.

Neil made the right call. Thompson was much better today than Pearson was last week.
And when he was replaced by Pearson we certainly didn't improve.

Level pegging with Tymon with most games for us, now Brown has left.

Played well today, can't complain with that performance. Watford didn't offer much but showed he can be useful.

He’s not a world beater but he’s decent and consistent enough. Just someone who does it better. He’s a decent player but when he’s on his game Pearson is far better. As Clive Clarke said he’s not quick enough and not good enough to push us on. He did fine today but there’s nothing wrong with wanting someone in the side that does the job better.

When he won that free kick in their half he channelled his inner xavi

AN was quite open at the fans forum that he selects players based on how they apply themselves during the week. I also think that Pearson has not quite got going yet either in terms of his performances so far this season.

I also think that Pearson has not quite got going yet either in terms of his performances so far this season. Good management. A little kick up the bum does some players the world of good and if he was carrying a slight knock it's still good management. Thompson is a much more limited player but he's a reliable squad member when called upon.

I like how you're moaning about something that hasn't happened because of an assumption you've made 😂
