Lee tomlin after new contract

Sun Jan 12, 2020 2:51 pm

Got a work mate from Bristol and he text me saying the worst thing we could do was give tomlin a new contract. Said that he would gain weight again and start doing flicks and tricks that give the ball away and put us under pressure. I love tommo and think he has been one of the few bright sparks in a poor season for us but over the last few weeks I’ve started to see a lot less grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck like Leeds (where he was amazing by the way) and a lot more flicks that go no where and put us under pressure. Hope he’s wrong

He was poor today and did a few pointless flicks which went to the Jacks, hope your Bristol mate is wrong!

He has the ability to change the game and grab it by the neck and control and influence. Hoping he can see it and realise the faith entrusted in him.

Watch the highlights back he gave the ball away for a few of their chances , but having said that he has been our best attacking player this year.

Worked his guts out today put some sublime passes thru the middle, was unlucky not to work his way thru the defence, lost ball couple times but so did other players.

It's shame no one has the football IQ of him. Because some of his passes today unlocked them. It was just no one to see it. Apart from the back heel the done in the first half

Worked his arse off but didnt have a great game. Get off his back and see how he does.

He worked hard today, not every ball is gonna put someone in on goal, not every shot is going to hit the net but his quality added to his work rate will make him a City icon, I think the best is still to come.

He's probably still getting used to that new fancy sports car and good luck to you Lee. :occasion5:

Still our most creative player on the pitch.

OK, sometimes his trickery does not always come off but by God we need some creative inspiration on the pitch.

Wish we had a couple like him.

Yea he was pretty decent in the swans game, he did alot less bad things then Pack and Pack is just a simple player. Sure your mate wasn't on about Pack?

Yeah not sure I said to him that he was just being bitter as he was on such good form and flying for us, but he was saying that he would always have a good run before a new contract then start doing the same old stuff, gaining weight and just doing flicks and tricks that don’t go anywhere. I then saw the sports car and started thinking about what he was saying. I hope my mates wrong and just a bitter Bristol fan and against the jacks I felt tomlin didn’t offer as much going forward but it’s unfair to always expect magic from a player even when they are as good as tomlin, he did work hard though which is a huge plus.

your mate is not wrong.. but its history. he is playing well looks fitter than he does in pictures of him at other clubs.. all we can do is hope it continues.

Sounds like a disgruntled Bristol City fan seeing Tomlin turning it on for the Bluebirds!
