Londoner Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Looked a class above today. He will be huge for us. Picked up pockets, great balls and a decent shot....clearly not fully fit. Very similar to a Ross McCormack. shocking dive for the penalty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Looked much trimmer than i expected. Good ball from deep for Kodjia stood out, as did the threaded ball in the second when Kodj ruled offside when he looked on to me. I thought he dived in the pen incident but could well be wrong on that count. Lack of pace was evident. In the second half Marlon broke down the left and Tomlin was nowhere; soon subbed after so the right time to make the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious Custard Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Head was always up when he was on the ball. Passing was there but not matchfit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Was in the Atyeo, if he did dive then he deserved his card and I hope he gets an earful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P'head Red Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Really hope we play him in the middle next game, he's got that surprise factor that we've missed this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Seems strange that we acquire a Premiership player…………and then don't play him in his favoured position. Odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC-Keith-1897 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 What a difference Tomlin has made to our team, was a pleasure to watch him play and I am very thankful he came to us even if its on loan, he really did make a difference to the whole team when he was on the pitch.

Odd Sadly I'm not surprised! Would have been so much more effective than Reid in the middle. He is absolute class though and even out of position was MOM by a country mile.

Robbored Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 When I saw him during the warm up I thought he was seriously overweight and that he wouldn't last the game. He did show some classy play tho' and I was disappointed when he got subbed. If/when he gets fit he could make quite a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 For all the good he done today he also got caught in some silly places where we shouldn't be losing the ball. Thought Birmingham were poor today and a better team could have punished us. Attacking wise he looks like something we have been missing all season.

WesM Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Really frustrated by today. Sign a premier league striker/AM, well known for playing in the hole...and we ask him to play left-midfield. Square pegs in round holes again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Bladder Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thought he looked quality We'll soon bring him down to our level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think he played wide to allow him space, he will come into the middle when he is fitter. I thought it was a dive too, but I have never seen a player continue to complain to the referee so much, he was still having a go at the start of the second half. it looke like he was claimng that he had been caught at hip level rather than tripped.

Antman Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 i would like to have seen him play behind Kodja, centrally - he would have been more dangerous. I thought he got clipped, but went for the swan lake - so hard to tell good stuff on first viewing. and burns!!! what a mare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe jordans teeth Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Couldn't see where I was watching,but listening to him he gave the I felt a clip and Pembo saying he's not a diver it will be interesting to see it later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he was trying to hard, because of the new signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 pembo said in his pre match interview (or the one on player, idk if he was interviewed by Radio Bris pre match today) that he was letting Tomlin go where he felt he would contribute most, a free role if you will.

Like others I think I'd prefer to see him play more centrally but I guess if Pembo said (I didn't hear the interview quoted by City169) that he was effectively given a free role then I can only assume that Tomlin felt he could affect the game more from others areas or that if he did drift centrally too much then he wouldn't be able to recover? perhaps more mobility and fitness will lead to his "free role" covering more of the pitch and assuming that formation is here to stay then the 3 behind the main striker could perhaps become more fluid.

I stand to be proved wrong when I see it later , but I thought there was contact and it was a pen. I also liked the system , Tomlin and Freeman can cut in on their favoured foot and allow an overlap. May change as he gets fitter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 10 yards away in the South Stand Wheelchair section it was a penalty all day long. It looked like he was clipped, and why go over when you've got a free shot on goal from 6 yards on the angle. All of us thought the same in our section. The Brum players didn't instantly call him out, they knew it was a pen. He got caught a couple of times in opening 5 mins, but other than that he showed some lovely touches and the ability to pick a pass. How many 'give and go's' have we seen around the box this season....not many...today there were several attempted. I think he's shown he's on the same wavelength as Kodjia....expect some assists.

Nomad Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I though Tomlin was decent. JB was asked if it was a pen or dive (on his walk up the Dolman at the start of the 2nd half) - his reply, "dive". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
