Thanoj to alfreton

No hard feelings and good luck to him, but with Clay and Brown, we've not come out of it too shabbily.

Isn't Clay the same age? Seems like an upgrade with his performances at the minute.

Clay has put in a couple of good performances and the signs are encouraging he can become a good player for us. We probably have to give him a run of games before we can make an informed verdict on him.

As for Thanoj , whilst never a regular, we can assess him over a period of time ie 4 seasons. And there lies the problem- as i said in a previous post  he has some talent but in 4 years never established himself and i fear was never going to. I hope he can use Alfreton to get his career going again. Regardless of how Clay turns out Thanoj was not good enough imo for Town.

I really rated Thanoj.  I always felt he would benefit from playing at a higher level where his technical abilities would flourish more.

Disappointed to see him go but with the lads we've brought in, I can't really say I'm disappointed he's signed elsewhere in our league.    He was a joy to watch at times when compared to the cloggers we've had in midfield in recent years, which may well have been the appeal of him.

Personally, I'm of the opposite view as regards Thanoj.

I could never see why he was so highly rated by many as he rarely put two good performances together.

Oh well, you never know. Although I'd be surprised if he did much at Alfreton, it might work out for him there as some players do well at one club but not another.

I think we may find that Thanoj could possibly actually be suited to a higher level of football, odd as that sounds. His short comings came when closed down quickly by physical midfielders, he'd certainly have more time and space at a higher level to pick out passes & we all know he's can certainly pick a pass.

But, the question is, can he really pick a pass? We've always heard about how good he was with the ball at his feet, but I can't really remember too many great passes from him. Few defence-splitting passes or assists that I can remember (though our strikers haven't exactly been prolific over the past couple of seasons), the odd goal here and there but nothing too memorable.

Hurst always noted he had the ability so I'm assuming he must have shown this in training, but in match situations? Not so much.

As Alfreton seem likely to struggle this season (based on our demolition of them last week), it could be even more difficult for him to impose himself on games. Hope he does well for them as long as they aren't playing us!

The last really class striker we had here was Hearn and he thrived off Thanoj when he played, i'd be interested to see how many goals Hearn got when Thanoj was on the pitch.
