11:15 as I’m typing this and I don’t think Vale’s touched it yet. More to follow. 

He's looking sharpe.  Sorry, sharp.

[Exiled_Rover]

Could be 3-0 this.

[jim mk2]

Nice move but JRC just has to hit the target there

[duckson]

Poor from JRC but i like that he seems to get forward alot and in places you wouldnt expect a RB to be.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

With Diaz becoming Brereton and chances falling to players with the finishing calibre of Joe Rankin-Costello we're not going to see many goals the rest of this season 

[pick32]

Other than two good attempts we have looked like we are defending a lead after 90mins, pathetic stuff

[booth]

Brereton.

JRC.

Squandered chances.

[OsloRover]

JRC and Thomas looking good down the right to be fair

Huddersfield letting Thomas go making sense so far 

He looks off the pace a little, but he's providing a physical presence already. Bigger, stronger and faster than what we've had out there recently - they've hit him as an outlet a few times tonight.

Unlucky not to be ahead but wigan right up for this

……if only we’d just had a month to sign a striker.

I just reminded myself he's playing. Not heard him mentioned yet. Don't think he has had a touch.

Our new set piece specialist send over the worst corner you'll ever see

[Bethnal]

That’s two corners from the set piece specialist that are not exactly what we’re looking for, either. Give him a pass because of it being a debut, but it’s beginning to feel like it won’t be our night.

[duckson]

2 corners from Thomas and both awful for different reasons.

[Silas]

Looks like we've taught Thomas our regular corner style quickly. 🙄

[OldEwoodBlue]

Why is the pitch such a mess ?

[Aqualung]

That's right chaps..... Get behind the new boy! 

Give him a chance ffs.

It’s 11 years old and hasn’t had the needed investment to maintain its structure

[jim mk2]

Who's doubting Thomas?  He's not done anything right so far

Compared to what, the 60’s 70’s or 80’s ?

Yep- some dodgy output/quality, perhaps a bit rusty, but he does look faster/stronger than what we’re used to seeing!

He's managed to tie his laces himself...it's a start.

[J*B]

I’m astounded Vale gets a game I really am.

I’d love to, but I’m 34.

Garner was still learning his trade but boy did he put the effort in.
