Jack Thomas targets EFL return with ambitious Basford

Postby Chadman » Tue Aug 21, 2018 2:03 pm

Nice interview with Jack Thomas on his time at Stags, why his career turned sour and the ambitions of his new club, who are the fourth highest-ranked side in the county behind Mansfield.

Definitely worth a trip down there to see him and Liam Hearn and check out the high standard of footy just down the road at some stage.

The Nottingham mentality again. MTFC will always be behind any Nottingham based club, no matter the division. Don't forget Notts are the oldest and Forest won some Europots.

Basford are probably already third.

Although John's not daft. I suspect that the comment is quite intentional to cause an easy rise on Stagsnet.

I thought it may be because County finished higher last season and are therefore ranked higher as this season is not yet complete.

Unfortunately he was probably correct in his description.

Working near Basford today so decided to take in the Basford v Grantham game, have to say it's a cracking little set up they have there, I was very impressed.

Also nice to see young Jack play, he scored a cracking goal and got a very nice assist as well, nice to see the lad playing with a big smile on his face.

Struggle to see where Utd's support'd come from as they get higher up unless the Clownty fans jumped ship to watch a successful team.

10/09/18: Basford United 6 Matlock Town 0 (HT: 1-0)
Attendance: 342

There were plenty of current and ex- Stags’ players in action tonight with Jack Thomas and Zayn Hakeem (on loan for a month) playing for Basford and Adam Smith and Craig Westcarr playing for Matlock Town. Basford's Liam Hearn was still injured. Matlock had a reasonable first half and were unlucky to go into the break 1-0 down. Matlock enjoyed some success down the right and Craig Westcarr headed Daniel Vann’s cross narrowly wide and Jack Brownell shot wide when in a great position in front of goal. However, Jack Thomas then came to the party for Basford and curled in a great shot from the edge of the area into the corner of the net to give Basford the lead on 37 minutes. Zayn Hakeem was looking lively but Matlock centre half, Dwayne Wiley, was having a good game and keeping a tight rein on the Stags’ youngster.

Basford had much more success going forward in the 2nd half and Courey Grantham on the left made it 2-0 to Basford after 58 minutes. Zayn Hakeem squared the ball to Matt Thornhill at the back post to make it 3-0 on 72 minutes. 17 year old youngster, Kole Lambert, came on for Basford for the last 10 minutes and had a massive impact. He combined with Jack Thomas before Thomas was fouled in the area to win a penalty. Nathan Watson duly scored from the spot to make it four. Lambert then used his pace and sharpness to get in behind the Matlock defence twice to score two more goals for Basford. He looks a great prospect. I hope Basford have got him signed up on a contract but if not then the Stags ought to be giving him a trial at Field Mill.

Basford moved up to 2nd place in the Northern Premier League whereas Matlock Town are one off the bottom.

If things don't improve at Meadow Lane soon Basford could soon be their local derby.

Very reminiscent to his goal against Portsmouth, happy to see he's getting his career back into track
