You could argue LJ should've had the balls to drop him sooner and to stop trying to cater to him. LJ made his mistakes, he could've been sacked but none of that is reason for you not to try on the pitch and that is my biggest gripe with LT. He didn't try and didn't care about us or the club. Just himself and how he wasn't having his way. And a massive one in not ensuring Hudds away wasn't Tomlins last for our club. (IMO) Still, as all those posters screamed at the time - There was never a fall out with LJ and the interview was all legit !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hindered us for most of the season and you could argue LJ tried his hardest to fit a team around Tomlin but it was never good enough for LT so he never put in the effort. Agreed, I'd say we actually became a better, more balanced attacking side once he was out of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelts Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Tomlin . Stewart . Trundle Three very talented players that were never played consistently in the right system, we tried to change em rather than play to their strengths. Tomlin instrumental in keeping us up last year . This season literally rolled into Ashton Gate . Not sure if we will miss him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Villa game with the FK. Who was LT shouting at? Whatever happened LT should've been more professional. Maybe LJ as well but we will probably never know exactly went on.

RumRed Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I really dislike all this manoeuvring players seem to do on twitter now. Tomlin did it before he joined us (and I stated that it put me off him at the time) and Kodjia did it on his way out, smacks of unprofessionalism. Toodlepip and thanks for the memories!

INCRED Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Seen enough this season to conclude that LJ wants quick passing pacy players and forwards who can disrupt defences. Unfortunately LT as we seen isn't a team player as can't defend and as many have stated slows our offensive play. Not sure who would take him but I think the money could be better used on players that fit our style of play that has developed over the last 6 months. LT has been a passenger and a costly one at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don`t think that went down too well with the rest of the team recalling the body language at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P'head Red Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Echoing what's been said, It's a shame it hasn't worked out. But we need a team with discipline, and that can't be built with him in the team. He'll no doubt get a good move somewhere though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tel Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 1 hour ago, Vincent Vega said: No , based on the fact that a inexperienced coach that bought him. Assembled a team that couldn't get the best out of him . Which proves that, although LT is unarguably talented, he is not necessarily a good player, because he is unable to adapt to the team around him. All the good players can do that, rather than expect the team to adapt to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacki Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Real shame he's going as at his best he was a joy to watch. We rarely saw the best of him this season though, so given that he's on huge wages and that LJ isn't going to keep trying to build the side around him it's probably best that he moves on.

Yes but you must never assign any responsibility to players. It's not as if they're grown men capable of taking responsibility for their fitness and performance. It's always the manager's fault don't you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Pretty pleased to see that Lee Tomlin is off. He'll probably be good for a year whilst he feels something to prove and then revert to 'a more expensive Neil Kilkenny' afterwards. Not even sure I would acknowledge him on his return. Great for 6 months, divisive and negative for 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yardy Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 It's a shame it never worked out here for him, not many players can do some of the stuff he does but that is part of his downfall too, he always tries to do something special and 9/10 times it doesn't come off. His lack of work rate is his biggest problem. What i don't like is plastering this on social media while contracted to us, something that he has done before and is very unprofessional. I can't see how posting that would work out a good thing for himself or our club, other clubs will be aware of this and wonder if he has the right attitude and surely this will affect the price we can sell him at? Clubs will know that he is available therefore the price won't be as high as it would be if he was happy to stay here. I wish LT all the best but also wish he has one of his many off days when he plays us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Love him. Properly exciting footballer. Just too erratic. I genuinely wish him all the best and hope we never have to come up against him when he's playing in a system that suits him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
