Personally I rate Josh Thomas and when he returns from his injury I think he will prove himself.

As for Adam Batchelor, I think he is an excellent complement to Christer Warren. I've spoken to the manager in the past about it, and both are able to see the game from different angles (obvious when Warren is playing) and he finds it a big advantage.

BTW I Warren's performances on the pitch have been superb. He covers acres of ground and his passing is excellent.

Along with Batchelor, a nice bloke 'n all.
