Cherries: Howe ponders Thomas loan situation
10:35pm Tuesday 16th October 2012 in Cherries News
By Neil Perrett
DECISIONS: Eddie Howe
Cherries boss Eddie Howe has said he will think “long and hard” about the prospect of allowing striker Wes Thomas to remain with Portsmouth.
Thomas dropped down the pecking order under previous boss Paul Groves and was given the green light to join Cherries’ south coast neighbours on a month’s loan.
And since arriving at Fratton Park at the end of last month, the 25-year-old frontman has made a major impact and has netted twice in five appearances.
He has also struck up a fruitful partnership with Izale McLeod, prompting Pompey boss Michael Appleton to indicate he will attempt to extend Thomas’s stay.
Thomas’s impressive form has also brought into question Cherries’ decision to loan him to a League One rival – and a club which has now gone above them in the table.
Howe, who replaced Groves in the Goldsands Stadium hot-seat at the weekend, has already set about the task of assessing the squad he has inherited.
Speaking to the Daily Echo tonight, Howe said: “Wes is someone we have always admired from afar. We are quickly assessing the squad and are well stocked in the striker department.
“But, with someone with Wes’s qualities and attributes, we are going to have to think long and hard about what we do with him before his loan is up.
“We can’t do anything for the first 28 days but, once we are able to recall him, it is certainly something we would think about.”
Thomas, signed permanently by Cherries in January following a three-month loan spell, bagged 11 goals last season and was the club’s leading marksman.
However, after scoring in Groves’s first game in caretaker charge at Stevenage, he failed to find the target in 11 subsequent appearances and was farmed out to Pompey.
Howe and assistant Jason Tindall were at Goldsands Stadium tonight to watch Cherries ease past Winchester City in the Hampshire Senior Cup.
A side comprising first-team pros and development squad youngsters triumphed 6-0 against the Southern League Division One South & West outfit.
Donal McDermott took centre stage by bagging two majestic first-half goals before Clive Makoni and Jordan Chiedozie both netted twice after the break.
Cherries: Jalal, Case, Meades, Bowles, Zubar, Wakefield (Bassele, h-t), McDermott, Carmichael (Cargill, h-t), Makoni (Moth, 80), Chiedozie, Gilkes. Unused subs: Strugnell, Goodship.
- Bashley exited the Hampshire Senior Cup following a 1-0 defeat by Newport (IOW), while Poole Town won 3-0 against Weymouth in the Southern League Red Insure Cup.

Eddie obviously rates Thomas and will know how best to use him. I think the quandary here is Tubbs who, because of Groves unwillingness to use him, we still don't know if he can cut it at this level. Obviously they can't both play in the same line up, and Eddie won't want to rush to bring Thomas back just to sit on the bench.

Could well see both playing on Saturday. I see Thomas as a goal maker, who also can score and more part of a strike dou than in the lone striker role, with either Tubbs or McQuoid as a partner. They know McQuoid well, he played a number of games for Burnley last Season on the wing.But they have a lot of players to appraise - and I am sure wont rush it.
Good management is about getting the best out of players, something Groves knew nothing about. . Eddie obviously rates Thomas and will know how best to use him.

Interesting to see Bradders taking the helm at Havant. And also Groves (& Brookes) accepting their old roles back within the club.

I can see you are taking the 'half bliss' out of my predictions post.
.
Perhaps I should explain that when I said that it would be a 1-1 draw on Saturday or who ever scores first will win.
.
In simple terms if Tranmere take the lead to make in 1-0 then I cannot see us scoring. But tranmere will not score a second.
.
Likewise if we take the lead to make in 1-0 then I cannot see Tranmere scoring. But then we will also not score a second.
.
i.e it will be 1-0 if any body wins.
.
I did say my prediction is open edned but I believe a draw is more likely.
.
Hence whoever scores first will win. There has already been some
'air-head' on here (not you) that is who clearly did not understand this hypothosis.
.
P.s. Perhaps I should say that I do not mean to insult you. My 'digs' at you were intended as 'tongue in cheek' and born out of frustration as both you and others have in the past suffered from not being able to see the bleeding obvious events that stand in front of your face. i.e the crap appointments of Quinn Bradbury and Bond as just one example amongs many others.

I am still trying to figure out how can a 1-1 draw become a 0-1 or a 1-0 especially when you say that once one side scores the other team will not be able to score. I must check the strength of my beers!!!

People seem to have short memories with Thomas. Before his loan period most wanted him out of the team as he squandered chance after chance.
Problem is we have a glut of decent forwards for League 1 and it wouldn't surprise me to see Pitman join up before Xmas on loan. Thomas has stated he doesn't want to come back and sit on the bench, which I think is the best he can hope for TBH.Therefore will he disrupt harmony, as he may want to stay at Pompey and play 1st team football.

Thomas may have squandered chances but he was getting into the right positions. He'd do well under EH.

Zubar is the most skillful and athletic defender we have. It seems though, in Lge 1, we are obliged to play central defenders who are carthorses or donkeys, who are slow and can only hoof the ball. They don't seem to have the ability to pass the ball.
