Major Isewater Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I was so much looking forward to being entertained by the football genius that is Lee Tomlin but he has been for me the biggest let down since Dolly Parton's bra straps snapped . The clamour to get him here , the memories of his contribution to our safety last season are all hazy memories as the guy can't even get in the first team on a regular basis. Dave Cotterill has come in and frankly shown more in his handful of matches than LT all season. Come back LT we want you firing on all cylinders as we try to get some points on the board.

Maybe it's OTIB that has turned a corner- what say you, Major? Feels like a mixture of both here, Marina Obviously not trusted by LJ, guess there are defensive responsibilities that he doesn't cover enough. If he was on form and firing (and playing the #10 role) I'm sure he'd get away with it. He is a long way from being that though, so he gets sacrificed. Get the feeling he just needs one good performance and he'll be away again. Villa Park seems like the kind of stage he'd enjoy....but don't see him starting tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's OTIB that has turned a corner- what say you, Major? There is an element of this, I guess. This situation reminds me very much of Jacki Dziekanowski. When City were playing well, Jacki was on a different level (playing in the hole behind Cole & Rosenior). When they began to struggle he became anonymous in some games. Every flair (luxury ?) player needs to have the grafters around him on song, when they are not, the flair players struggle. On a different level I know, but I always think back to an interview by Paul Gascoigne. He was asked which player he enjoyed playing with the most, and without hesitating he said Bryan Robson. Robson had told Gascoigne on a number of occasions "Gazza, we don't want to see you running around chasing after the ball. I will go and get the ball, then I will give it to you". Quite simply, IMO, we need to be giving Tomlin the ball whenever possible (when he is picked, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 In fairness to Tomlin when can he make a pass forward apart from to a isolated Tammy, nobody has been getting up the pitch enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to have a better level of anticipation of his next move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelts Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Great to watch last season a real entertainer . Pre season he looked massive but some of the weight came off. Now he's not been involved for a while he's big again. A genuine talent let down by himself hence he's playing for us. Cost a few quid and in big wages so no chance of recouping the vast majority of his transfer fee. Gutted me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the "negativity" of the "ever growing nasty atmosphere" at AG that is to blame, remember, although I have yet to see Tomlin "shrink" from all this, as SL suggested last week....

Central midfield? Hmmmm. Does he tackle enough and get stuck in? Top of a diamond? Maybe, but him there leaves the midfield too open. Wide left of midfield? Hmmm...wasted out there and doesn't track back enough.... I await your reply with interest. I'm sure others do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 For all the many players with 'great engines', a 'good eye for a short pass' and ability to 'do the simple stuff' ....it's the players that can do something magic I want to pay to watch. I would rather turn up to watch a Tomlin, a JET, a Jackie, or a Trundle to deliver just a moment of magic over a team full of hard working Carlton bloody Palmers.....
