EmersonsRed Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Lee Tomlin is one of the most technically gifted players I've seen at the gate for a long, long time... I don't care how fat people think he is, I don't think he is at all. If we could possibly sign him for next season then blimey, he's given us something I've not seen in an age! Midfield in general... Not seen a midfield press like that for a long time either, plenty of energy all over, covered them like a rash at all points forcing them to punt it long to our 6'7 giant CB... Pembo every game is ridiculously passionate... I love the bloke. A bit of a shit thread but I'm all excited and wanted to talk about all 3 things without several topics/posts... Onwards and upwards, coyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ferret Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 It's essential we sign Tomlin in the summer. If we have to raise our wage budget to do so then so be it. So much of our attacking presence revolves around him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHider Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 A star player who influenced and epitomised Bournemouth to what they are now. I'd be surprised, but who knows what motivates a person., Maybe an oppertunity to play at a club of this size yet to grace the Premier League has some influence, its going to happen one day and to be a part of that could special motivation, they will all be immortalized.

Taylor10 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Tomlin is a genius. Pure class, as is Odemwingie. Those two players ladies & gents are the true definition of a 'creative' player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Tomlin is essential, made everything looked effortless and was also doing a lot of talking (First half at least). Loads better than JET.... We need to do everything we can to get Baker, providing villa will do business. Odemwingie also looked very good, although I think higher clubs will be in for him. That being said a goal in a 6-0 win, and a strong end to the season would help our cause. Wasn't impressed with Matthews, but that's the first time I've seen him play. Bolton sent a lot his way in the first half, and I thought he looked lost. Going forward looked better but really should have put a better ball in in the second half. Back to Tomlin - one of those players you can build a side around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I've not been a Reid fan by any means but that was a helluva performance from him today. He was bloody marvellous. And Wagstaff too! What an impact he had. Neither can lace Tomlin's boots mind Oh and to the poster who questioned Odemwingie and what impact he might have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Some great changes being made...we played well...but imo, against a Bolton side with no fight and already down in their heads. Still a long way to go...will celebrate tonight with a nice bottle of whisky... As for Pembo...Passion can be shown in many ways...fist pumping and shouting is just one of them...the same as Bradley Orr...doesn't make them any more passionate than others...just different. I'm sure others were doing it in their head and heart...just not outwardly open with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Bolton were very poor but I think on that performance we'd have given many a very difficult game today. We were quick in pass, incisive, saw the next pass that was on and the movement up top (and Bobby's vision) had their defence all over the shop. Tomlin, although against lesser opposition, looked every bit a Premier League player today. Odemwingie too What I loved was that the changes were very impactful and settled immediately in to the game. Wagstaff for instance had a 10 minutes to dream about.

Lets see how well we get on next game though ;-) However...like JJT said above...we were ruthless and the changes made since SC left have been nothing short of astounding. Especially our away form. Just goes to show how close this league is though. Afew points from relegation and only 5 from mid table now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting match fitness and sharpness back in the last few games it seems, steadily improving on each. Very impressed today. Elliot Bennet who?

Berts city Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thought Mathews did well, couple of times in the first half he was the only defender when they broke away and he defended well and grew into the game as it went on, very good addition to the squad.

Let's see him play 90 minutes when we need to come back against a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't always been a huge BR fan but he certainly affected the game today and at Fulham last week. He seems to have the same understanding as Tomlin and PO and certainly linked up with them well. I hoped he would keep his place today and place Freeman on the bench as he deserved to do so. Everything clicked today and it was great to see. Bolton were poor, the poorest team we've seen yet perhaps but that win would have given us confidence. We look a much improved team since Tomlin arrived and settled in, and now with the addition of the again impressive Odemwinghie bringing out the best in players like Bobby Reid it can only be a good thing. Tomlin and Odemwinghie are class players for sure and I noticed the car park is again filling up with Porsche's so they don't come cheap, but what price is failure?
