I’ve been impressed with Sorba Thomas this season. He’s a player that I've always felt could be posting better numbers for the quality he has, and it’s clicked this season at Stoke with Thomas registering 19 goal contributions across his 38 starts for Stoke, with 10 of these being goals.

Thomas scored over the international break, in the nothing game that Wales contested against Northern Ireland after failing to qualify for the World Cup. He was impressive when he came on against Bosnia as well, which when partnered with his goal against Preston just before the international break presents a promising platform for Thomas to find the back of the net again.

Thomas couldn’t have a better opponent to play against to register his 11th goal of the season in the Championship. Sheffield Wednesday have been the punching bags of the Championship this term, conceding 79 goals across their 39 matches. They conceded three goals to Stoke when these sides met earlier in the season, with Thomas registering two assists in that clash.

Ashley Fletcher has bounced around quite a few EFL clubs, but appears to have found a bit of a home at Blackpool in the latter stages of his career with Fletcher netting 15 goals across his 34 starts for Blackpool - more than any other player in the squad.

He’s already eclipsed his goal tally from last season (11), showing some consistency which has been missing from his career previously. He lines up against an Exeter side who have failed to win any of their last 14 matches across all competitions, losing seven of these games. They’ve suffered some heavy losses on the road in this sequence too, conceding two or more goals in eight of these games.

Exeter did manage to run out 4-1 winners when the sides met earlier in the season, though Fletcher scored Blackpool’s only goal in that game from two shots on target. The picture looks very different for both sides since that game, which should see Blackpool get chances to service their top scorer. 

Jatta is such a fun player to watch, and he’s built on a really strong season for Notts County last term to emerge once again as their main goal threat. 

Jatta has netted 15 goals across his 25 starts in League Two this season, including a brace against Harrogate last time out. He didn’t feature in the initial league meeting between the sides, and Notts County missed him with the home side falling to a 2-1 defeat on that occasion.

Jatta netted 19 goals across his 38 starts in League Two for Notts County last season, so he’s clearly experienced at this level and can step up in a crucial game for Notts County as they look to close in on an automatic promotion spot.
