Last season Thommo had Akinfenwa and Paul Hayes, two class acts at this level, ahead of him in any selection decisions about central striker (though he did still get time in that role and did pretty well a few times, bagging a few goals).
Previously (for example at Bradford with Hanson) he had other central strikers in front of him as first choice.
It may be that Jim has him in mind more centrally, as some have said on here, with the likes of Kev, Campbell, Wildig, even Turner if he can more consistently produce the form he showed in brief flashes last season, flitting around him.
Thommo is strong, holds the ball up well and is good at spotting the chance for a good pass. He can head the ball well and, as we know, shoots with either foot, which is always an issue for anyone trying to mark him.
In that role his fading pace isn’t so much of an issue.
