Thompson happy with Iron progress

The Iron were promoted via the play-offs in May and have performed well on their return to the second tier.They are currently five points clear of the relegation zone and ahead of the Boxing Day game at Middlesbrough, Thompson is pleased with how he and his team-mates are progressing."Obviously your opponent is much better in the Championship and you're punished more for your mistakes," said the 29-year-old."I think that's the main thing we've learnt as a club this year. You've got to give 100% every game or you get turned over."You've got to take your chances when you get them, and be as solid as you can at the back."
