Title: Nathan Thompson Post by: @MacPhlea on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 06:32:13 Thought the lad played well last night at right back (3) - collected the ball well, played out of defence confidently and never looked under pressure. Good back up for Jack Smith.
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: Luci on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 07:33:21 He looked one for the future however did get caught out on several occasions. If it wasn't for his pace then perhaps it would have shown more.
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: JPC82 on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 07:44:49 hes a bit like miguel but still very raw, quick, strong, could make it
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 07:54:00 What they always say though is," give me someone quick and i'll make them into a player" So i guess with coaching he could be a good un.
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: JPC82 on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 07:55:10 What they always say though is," give me someone quick and i'll make them into a player" So i guess with coaching he could be a good un. he has the attributes to be a decent player, just needs coaching now to improve defensive positioning etc Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 07:57:34 Looks like in 2-3 years if we can keep them ,we might be a mini man utd with a nucleus of 1/2 dozen or so that have come through and played together for years, it can only be good.
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: JPC82 on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 08:00:26 Danny Wallington is another to look out for this season in the youth team, couple of years ago had the likes of man utd after him until a serious knee injury kept him out for a year or so, last season was his first season after the injury
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 08:01:58 Wondered why i hadn't heard his name recently, saw him a couple of times last year and he looked decent and was surprised he wasn't one of the 9 offered contracts, the knee injury would explain that.

Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 10:02:24 i anticipate 3.5m in transfer fee's from our youth team this year
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 10:05:00 I would anticipate you might be right, particularly if we do well in the youth cup again.
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: STFC4LIFE on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 10:12:27 Is Nathan Thompson the black one?
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 10:13:27 Yes
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: STFC4LIFE on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 10:17:09 See he's my age, played against him a number of times when he was at Warminster. I think he signed for us the same time as Kurt did.
No-one really rated Nathan that much and couldn't understand how he ended up at Swindon. Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 10:55:17 No-one really rated Nathan that much and couldn't understand how he ended up at Swindon. jealousy i'd say. Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: STFC4LIFE on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 10:58:42 jealousy i'd say. Maybe, but then we all knew Kurt was good, and no-one comented on him.Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 11:03:46 When your youngsters I doubt you rate your abilities in the same way that people looking for potential future professionals do.
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: michael on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 17:06:42 Must be good for the likes of Calum Kennedy and Nathan Thompson to be coached by ex international fullbacks like Bodin, and Malpas.
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: newmarket red on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 17:51:31 What happened to the youngster tyler weir is he still about i remember coventry were reported for trying to poach him a few years back he must be at least 16 or 17 now supposed to be the next big thing.
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: tans on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 18:38:40 i remember when chris taylor was touted as the next best thing..
biggest pile of shite that was Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: strooood on Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 12:56:30 i remember when chris taylor was touted as the next best thing.. chrissy taylor player for England under 16s or something, so that touting was probably justified.biggest pile of shite that was Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 13:01:41 Must be good for the likes of Calum Kennedy and Nathan Thompson to be coached by ex international fullbacks like Bodin, and Malpas. I thought Malpas was a centre back? Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: tans on Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 13:08:26 Sweeper i thought
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: janaage on Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 13:11:17 Nah from my memory he was a full back, defo started as a left back at Dundee Utd.
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: suttonred on Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 13:16:27 Yes he was a full back, think he may have filled in at CB a few times later in his career.
Title: Re: Nathan Thompson Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 14:07:29 He was a left back.

But that day he did play more right side of midfield than right back and he looked very comfortable there too. Hopefully he will learn from having ex-international fullbacks Bodin and MM at the club. |
