Derby County fans are reacting on Twitter after Luke Thomas joined Coventry City.

The Derby winger will spend the next five months on loan to the League One side, having only played twice for the Rams.

Nevertheless, big things are predicted for Thomas, who looked to be on the cusp of a first team breakthrough after an impressive pre-season campaign, before the arrivals of Harry Wilson and Florian Jozefzoon increased congestion in his position.

A productive spell at Coventry, however, could propel the 19-year-old back into Frank Lampard’s plans, especially with Wilson himself a loan player.

And the Sky Blues have themselves a player in the meantime – according to the following Derby supporters…

As well as his two games for Derby, Thomas also gained senior experience on loan to Gloucester City the season before last.

The former West Bromwich Albion academy player began his career at Cheltenham Town but failed to appear for the Robins.
