    That's one incentive, I suppose!

    What a load of crap. We hear this about failing top class football players all the time, like we should be sorry for them. bollocks!!!
    They earn top money compared to the average fan who pays to watch them. What the feck has personal "Demons" got to do with it.

    You think ordinary working stiffs don't have their demons? They are just expected to keep it to themselves and get on with their job/life.
    If they don't they're out of work.

    It should be the same for footballers

    Warnock doesn’t pull any punches. If Tomlin was taking the piss we’d know about it.
    Warnock doesn't pull any punches but doesn't throw players under the bus from what I've seen. His comments about Tomlin's fitness are about as much as we'll get from him on that score.

    Tomlin is certainly on the bench minimum because he's that damn good a creative player. His fitness isn't there - yet - which imo isn't good enough midway through a season. He's given cameos because that's how Warnock et al assess his current fitness.

    Your point about his effect simply sums up why he needs to be fit, why he needs to play 90 minutes.

    There's a difference between fitness and match fitness. Tomlin obviously isn't quite match fit yet and that'll only come with more minutes

    Makes a run, gasping for breath at the end of it. That's not match fitness.

    If it was only match fitness that was the issue, I'd have expected Tomlin to be a regular in DVP games until up to speed.

    He's not fit to chase after balls for 90 minutes. Correct.

    He is fit to play 90 mins and be the playmaker we need though.

    Use him properly and he will give you a good 90 minutes.

    Perhaps you can point to the games where Tomlin's role has been to "chase after balls". Clue; that's not been his role.

    He's being used properly as his fitness demands at the monent.

    I seem to remember him chasing a lot the hull game.
