It's Tomlin not starting v Derby, Millwall, Sheff Wed at home that's been frustrating. I'll be more annoyed if he doesn't start at home against Brentford after the international break.
Surely that's a good reason to start him?
Without Tomlin last night we would of looked the same team as we did against 'wall, void of ideas and pumping the ball down the wings looking predictable.
Only my opinion, but I think Tomlin could be the bit of spark we need if they keep it tight and try to snatch a win on the break.
I suspect they will be no millwall though.
