Thebigguy68 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I have a good feeling about him this year. It’s just a gut thing, not based on anything tangible. He’s got talent, undoubtedly. And maybe sc can nurture it out of him. Must have been a blow to head to queens not so long after a blistering ( I thought) start to his killie career. I think the first half dozen competive games this season could define his kille career. I’m optimistic but recognise I’m likely in the minority. Time will tell. But a fit, motivated, Dom Thomas is an asset at this level and maybe he has potential to push on a bit further. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOT KFC Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I thought he done well and was very impressed with him at the beginning of the season then he just seemed to have stopped playing. Hopefully can push on this year! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I would guess it's in his hands. He has another opportunity, if he knuckles down he definitely seemed to have the ability to impress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merk Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Hopefully he can come on leaps and bounds under SSC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Potential is there. Attitude and mentality to work as part of a unit need to develop for him to realise it. If he knuckles down and takes on board the message on the training ground he could be like a new signing for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTumnus Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 He'll only get game time if Jones moves on/ gets injured. Both showed potential at the start of last season but only one fulfilled it. Another loan beckons if Jones stays. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogwai Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Hopefully he has learned from the loan spell. Seems like a nice lad too - I like his work with his football academies. Big season for him. He'll come on leaps and bounds if he knuckles down under Clarke and Dyer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouser2 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 All down to the player ...if he can work hard and show right attitude in training then he has a chance . ..if not then it's a future of lower level football for him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cill Mheàrnaig Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 My biggest worry is that everything Motherwell fans said about him was true - he'll start like a runaway train then vanish; he'll beat three men then hit the first man with his cross; he'll be invisible for most of the games. Hopefully he'll look at guys like Brophy, Erwin etc and try to turn his career around like they have under Clarke. He's seemingly well liked among the squad and seems to be a big part of the pre-season trip so fingers crossed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Disappointed we didn’t get more out of him last year. Arguably our best player in the league cup but disappointing when the league season started. He’s got to get his head right. Talent is there but is the attitude, work rate and commitment. Brophy, Erwin and Jones are great examples to follow. They work hard to back up the talent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Don’t rate him at all. If we want to progress he’s not the answer. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killied Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Seen the raw talent there at first and was very hopeful he would develop. I too have a feeling that this could be his season, he appears to be bonding well with the team and SSC will surely get the best out him like he has done others. I don't want to get too ahead of myself but I think he could be a fans favourite this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiepies Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Back up to Jones at best and will probably spend most of his time on the subs bench .He will be behind a few players for a 1st team start and can see him being loaned out or transferred .Decent player but just doesn't seem to have it to play consistently in the SPL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killieboy87 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 If he could find a level of consistency, I would say Jones would be the only player ahead of him as he is the only one who plays a similar type of game. Brophy/Erwin slightly different as they are closer to being forwards, Frizzell isn't very good and I would imagine will be farmed out again, Kiltie may or may not be done at this level (hopefully not!). I think if he really screws the nut, he could stake a claim for a starting place. Otherwise, easily replaced. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) I wouldn't write him off just yet. He's a talented lad and Clarke doesn't suffer fools. He's working with one of the top coaches in British football and he will be well aware that if he doesn't knuckle down he won't be there much longer. Remember Clarke has transformed Findlay, Power, Brophy, O'Donnell and Erwin from early season dross to players we were terrified to lose. It's absolutely nonsense to write off DT as not being good enough or "pish" until Clarke has assessed and worked with him. He's also probably the only person in our side who can hit a corner or indirect free kick... this will be his year!

chubbs Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Had a great start and did well early on BUT his performances dropped when Burke wasn't on the pitch to coax him along and point out what runs to make. He's got the talent but he does need to knuckle down this season and hopefully spending more time with Burke will help him along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 To be fair to him his performances dropped in a very bad side. Only played once or twice after Clarke came in, so as far as I'm concerned he hasn't really had his chance. This is it for him, I hope he makes the most of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please bear in mind with Burke, I'm referring specifically to his delivery. Frizzell is not good enough - if he was, he'd be at least close to place in the team. Another Chris Johnston - shows flashes of talent but the majority of most games pass him by. Like the majority of young players we've produced over the last few years. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaucyJackPirate Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 I would politely disagree about Frizzell. I think he looked very good at times 2 seasons ago, and when given the opportunity under Clarke I thought he impressed. His goal against Hearts was excellent. His tenure at Livingston was ill-timed and the wrong club. If he has bulked up as has been intimated then it is obviously to impress Clarke. I think it would be folly to right off a 20 year old who always puts in at least full effort whenever given the opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work rate's something I wouldn't really question. Sometimes he gets bullied out of games because he's not been quite big or strong enough but I've seen him be pretty dominant in midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleycouley93 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Dom Thomas was excellent in pre season. Hopefully he knuckles down and can make an impact this season. Clearly a well liked member of the team. Having a big squad that can interchange is important if you wanna finish top six. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
