Three shots Sunday
Thomas recorded three shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 5-0 loss versus Brighton.
Analysis: Thomas was tied for the team lead in shots with three Sunday, but he failed to put any on target. He's now taken nine shots through four games this season, with zero forcing a save by the opposing keeper. While he put up solid statisics on the defensive end -- six clearances, one interception and one blocked shot -- he and the defense were completely battered by Brighton. He'll look to bounce back Saturday at Nottingham Forest.
Five shots in loss
Thomas recorded five shots (zero on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester City.
Analysis: Thomas had a game to remember even in a loss, he took five shots and created a ridiculous three chances during Saturday's loss. The defender was shockingly busy in a match that City controlled throughout. If he can maintain this sort of volume he will have some big upside in the coming months.
Makes nine clearances
Thomas generated one cross (zero accurate) and nine clearances in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Hull City.
Analysis: Thomas produced nine clearances in 78 minutes, the highest total among Coventry's defenders, before being replaced late in the contest. Hull remained scoreless throughout his time on the pitch, with the winner arriving four minutes after his departure. Thomas' aerial presence and willingness to attack balls into the box should make him a useful defensive presence throughout Coventry's return to the Premier League, particularly in matches where the side faces sustained pressure.
Creates one chance
Thomas registered one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 3-0 defeat against Arsenal.
Analysis: Thomas didn't end up with much to show for the opening match of the season, but he did create a single chance. That's better than some others in the team, though it's nothing to really write home about. Thomas will hope that he can make more of some more easier matches coming up, as this was always going to be difficult.
