Wes Thomas

He was great at Cheltenham as well (couldn’t make Swindon game)
He was immense today
Well Done Wes
Can we please bring Amond back in Jan to partner him up front
Another 2 today at Gimps
Amond Scores Goals
Come on Town!

Quoted from HertsGTFC

A few weeks ago my lad laid a bet with me for £20 Wes wouldn't get 10 goals this season on current form I reckon that will be in my greasy palm pretty soon  

I like Wes he's hard working has decent craft and can finish, he backs himself and has proved he can finish. Great attitude and work rate, a really good signing at this level. I also like the military salute goal celebration and all being well we'll see it a few more times yet.  

Void bet....he is no longer in that form so the bets off  

He as a great ability to score goals with his back to the goal in the box. He seems to be able to turn and get a shot off in the blink of an eye. Not a bad skill to have. Any loose ball in the box near him you can put money on him to get a foot there first.

Where can I watch the highlights please?

Getting used to seeing Wes trademark salute to the fans after scoring keep it going stormtrooper.

He is a very intelligent player. His off the ball movement, positioning and anticipation is of top quality. The best example of this is his goal V Tranmere. They way he anticipates the cross coming in as he drops back from the defender and moves into space leaves him prefect for the "header" into the goal.
And with his goal V Swindon, his reaction to follow up Embleton's shot to score is something we've been missing a while now.

I have now started saluting people I meet instead of bothering shaking hands.

Took his goal well despite an arm in the face. If it hadn't of gone in it should have been a penalty. Watch the highlights and see if you agree.

I was saying way back when we signed him that we had made a good signing and he would get us goals. Unfortunately has wasnt match fit and also had that stupid sending off which set him back. Now he's fit and playing in a settled team structure where the players all know each other and patterns of play are being worked on where players are more settled into their roles and he knows how to play with them and vice versa.
I was disappointed he'd only signed for one year as i knew he'd be a key player by the end of the seasoon and we;d have a problem getting another Wes if he left. Hope the love we have for him will keep hhim here

This is th thing that struck me about him. Slow start but it's taken a while for the team to click but now we're seeing the benefits of his reading of the game. A latter day Gary Jones.
