Regarding the main subject of the thread, I've kept pretty quiet about this because it would be ammunition for LJ's supporters to tell me it's everyone else's fault, but Tomlin looked more overweight than usual at Forest when he came on and well off the pace and unfit to seriously contribute at this level.

Guest Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Only in the world of football could an overweight, underwhelming, out of form, character be defended when/if punished. LT fell out at his last club. I firmly believe he spoke to LJ as reported and if so he was damn lucky not to find himself immediately transfer listed in my book. If he's being poisonous, divisive, belligerent pack him to the U23's. If he's not training in the right manner to keep himself in the prime fitness we need him, pack him to the U23's. If he packs his bags before the window is over, I'll shed no tears. He's a class player, when he wants to be. He's just like JET in that there's a reason he's at the level he is and he is the one person who mentally can't bring himself to allow himself to play at a higher level. He isn't the player or character we needed. We were deceived. I can excuse that, he was damn exciting on loan. But he's a billy big living off a reputation and is clearly coasting but still expecting to be shown utmost respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all you say But he is the same Lee Tomlin that LJ /MA wanted to bring here (And it has to be said most on here) They signed him , what did they really expect - anyone with any knowledge of football let alone anyone in the game know what Lee Tomlin can bring , in all ways Was an ideal loan signing at the time , but as a permanent we had to be sure that he would be a good fit - and he was never that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only £3m in the grand scheme of things. That doesn't buy you a whole lot of player nowadays and someone with his talent for £3m simply has to be considered. I can understand thinking: hmm perhaps his Bournemouth fall out is the kick up the arse he needed; the fans will really take to this move; after failing with high profile bids last summer and struggling it will be the boost the club needs; LT seems to love it and has a mate here. It was a gamble but I can totally see the logic in it. At least with JET his problem was his mind was not in football. Nonetheless he was good in the dressing room even when not played. LT mind is on football, not on working hard and not on fostering a good morale when the chips are down. I say keep him where he is. Bring him back if and only if his attitude changes.

Agree Except it's a big gamble because if there is a problem with any such personality as Tomlin the fall out can spread like a disease in the dressing room Add to that LJs apparent propensity for confrontation , and 'outing' players in public , and I'd suggest there's a questionable situation anyway and thus LT was never a sensible signing For what it's worth I think there are players that are more intelligent and reserved than LT that are equally unhappy or not far away.

Yeah I think LJ bit off more than he could chew and perhaps will take his dad's approach more and more iro big name Charlie's. I don't think the harmony can't be rebuilt and I think keeping LT away could help that. I don't think this is the end for LT here either; or even LJ and LT if they both stay. But right now we are in a downward spiral and I don't see LT contributing to change that. When he came here last year LT had a point to prove re his ability. Now he seems to have gotten in to his comfort zone and forgot about performing. If - and it is a big if - we can get some confidence and string some results together I've no doubt LT would reinvigorate himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Lee tomlin is a disgrace to his profession, yes a talented footballer but in awful shape which is inexcusable for a sportsman who trains every day and plays twice a week most weeks. He clearly has previous at other clubs for a questionable attitude....I genuinely thought this would be the signing that moved us to the next level but unfortunately he has been a dissapointment.

Oizys Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Tomlin is training with the first team, Johnson has not lost the dressing room. There are no cliques within the team. The great team spirit which SC built and fostered is stronger than ever. Young players are currently not getting a chance due to the pressure of the situation possibly setting their progress back, but they are being included in the matchday squad to increase their exposure to the match day experience. Johnson berating senior players who are acting like children. Lansdown decided to front up to the reality of the situation and make several public statements. The optimism that LJ fostered toward the end of last season has waned in the eyes of many supporters.. Johnson is doing his best to turn the fortunes of the club around and we have to sit back and support this. 100% true, but I won't name my source, so you'll just have to believe me.... and I have over 2000 posts, so at least I'll have the respect of Agard Days Night....

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 So the upshot of these two pages is that there is no evidence whatsoever that Tomlin is training with the under 23s.

I was one who was taken in by last years magic but honestly we all knew this would end in tears, maybe not this soon but eventually. I think you're over thinking it. If the club really cared what the fans(and this forum especially) LJ would be gone. They saw a top player for this level that was affordable. He had baggage and we gambled we could deal. Seems we couldn't. Give him his last chance or cut out losses. We're not as good without him at his best but we are better off without him at his worst which is what he's at right now.

We will probably never know. You could be right and the fans pressured them into Tomlin. He hasn't worked out so he's not listening to us now. Anything is possible but I do think they gambled on a talented player that was affordable for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
