Di Canio may hand Louis his first start
           
           



  PAOLO Di Canio has revealed he had a late change of heart ahead of the victory at Stevenage last week in deciding not to hand Louis Thompson a start in the middle of midfield.

Di Canio told the Advertiser that he had held training sessions with Thompson accompanying Troy Archibald-Henville at the heart of the team before opting to play John Bostock in that position instead last Saturday.

Troy in centre-mid?? Really?? Hmmm

That's a pretty strong point of view there!

He was that bad I actually felt sorry for him. Ferry was by far our best player during the game but he needed some help in there and it was not forth comming from Troy. On a more positive note in Troys favour, Flint now being out for four games could hand him a decent run in the team and he should be much better in his natural position. I think troy is better on the ground playing the ball out but not as good as flint in the air.

Thompson looked much more comfortable there when he came on. I think PDC dropped a bollock by not playing him from the start.

I agree with that but perhaps Paolo thought the game was going to be a lot more physical than it turned out to be so Troy would be the better option. Still a gamble as far as I'm concerned, that didn't pay off.

He may have had a poor game but Troy actually sounds ideal for a defensive midfielder.

I reckon we'll be seeing him there again and I reckon in time he will nail it. Just a hunch.

Or maybe he could play in the position that was good enough to land him player of the year last season for exeter?

Maybe he could, and maybe he could turn out it be even better in a new role?

It's not as though it would be the first time PDC has converted a player successfully and I don't see people complaining about De Vita and McCormack playing 'out of position'

To be fair it didn't bother me at all once I knew Troy was starting in the middle, he has looks pretty confident playing the ball out of the back and normally does the simple thing and finds a Town shirt further up the park. Maybe it was nerves? He looked uncomfortable from the off and IMO just didn't settle.
