WATCH: Georgia Goulding backs Liam Thompson as crucial figure for Mansfield Town after superb League One display
Liam Thompson has already made a huge impact on his new club after joining Mansfield Town from Derby County.
The exciting midfielder was given the nod to start against Doncaster Rovers in Stags’ League One opener and he had a huge impact on the game.
Thompson put in a superb shift in the middle of the park and played his part in both attack and defence. The 24-year-old did not hesitate to commit to challenges and was sharp in watching for opportunities to intercept balls and break up Doncaster’s play. He was also eager to get forward and utilised his speed and dribbling skills to cause all sorts of problems for Rovers.
Thompson drew a number of fouls and proved to be a real handful to contain, which fans will hope to see more of throughout the season.
In the latest episode of Stags Talk, host Georgia Goulding waxes lyrical about the midfielder’s performance and backs him to be a crucial part of this Mansfield team if he can keep up this level of play.
Georgia also discusses the latest results and updates surrounding Stags over the past week, including the EFL Trophy defeat to Man City U21s and the state of play regarding injury and fitness news.
