This is probably the first decision if Ernie's I have outright disagreed with. It's his head not mine and I guess my signature applies
it has me puzzled too
interesting that merrick and thompson both consider him to be an advanced midfielder. i never thought so myself and assumed that he was being trialled as one of the two central midfielders.
furthermore, merrick has stated that he wants a midfielder who transition quickly from defence to attack. thompson is exactly this sort of player.
big call ernie, i hope you have a marquee up your sleeve!
