[Maurice Swan]

Good interview in WOL:

Not fond of Warnock
Liked it with Harris
REALLY not impressed with McCarthy.....

Good to know he's with Leicester learning his coaching.

Re: Lee Tomlin

Forget his off the field troubles and weight issues

A naturally gifted footballer

An enigma like Stan Bowles or Frank Worthington

Shame he never hit the heights

Re: Lee Tomlin

He had a lot in common with Trundle!

My God with his well documented demons you’ve cruelly saddłed him with this

Re: Lee Tomlin

I was always disappointed when he wasn’t playing, because he was one of the few players who could open opposition defences. MM comes over as a really w….r, but there’s always two sides to a story.

Would be interesting what Warnock and McCarthy thought of Tomlin retrospectively.

Re: Lee Tomlin

Pathetic if he had anything about him he'd had delivered more for us on the field not moan about managers who basically wanted more effort and better fitness.

He's no Bluebird in my book , just a man with his own selfish indulgences and no backbone.

At least the managers have the decency to keep thier council on the lazy individual.

Agree with this in the main.

He had that spell where he was outstanding and virtually dragged us into the playoffs on his own.
He had a lot of quality in a workmanlike team and as soon as he got injured in the playoff game we all knew what the outcome would be.

His problem was his inconsistency which seemed to be down to his fitness and alleged unwillingness to get himself in shape.

He was too much of a luxury player and could get away with it in the side if others were willing to put his work in for him.

I can't argue with that.

Re: Lee Tomlin

lol typical on this forum. This guy showed up in pretty much every game he was picked and gave us something to be excited for. Yet typical small forum vibes of "OMG HE FAT HE MUST DO MORE". Who gives a shit about his fitness if he is performing better than your typical marathon runners who contribute next to nothing that most on here seem to go weak at the knees for

Have you read the article ? Accepts his own short comings at various points

One of the best players I’ve watched for the city when he was on it for that six month spell. A shame we didn’t get longer, partly down to him as he admits.

McCarthy comes across a right pr!ck which is no surprise

Re: Lee Tomlin

Tomlin probably wouldn't have been the player he was if he had been the model professional, Although that's not to say that he wouldn't have played for longer and maybe at a higher level for a while. The bloke was flawed, that's without doubt, but for what he gave me in terms of enjoyment under Harris, who lets be honest produced some of the most basic and rigid football i've seen without it being completely offensive (If Russell Slade had a younger more adventurous Brother -See Harris) Then i forgive his misgivings. Sometimes i think that we can over analyse players, especially those who are gifted, we've all said (insert name) is wasting his talent etc, but maybe that's as good as it was ever going to be with Tomlin, and maybe we should just look back with fond memories and some fantastic moments watching a player who wasn't an athlete, but a fantastic footballer who could do things that other players couldn't dream of doing. And who arguably possessed (Along with Whitts) incredible vision, even better than Whitts in tight situatiions.

Embrace the brilliance, Don't be angry, we witnessed some incredible moments of skill from Tomlin.

Re: Lee Tomlin

Great player great talent but not much use when you are 3 stone over weight and puffing after 5 minutes.
He could have been so much better than he was, hope he doesnt F up his next career as much as he did his last

He played 51 games in 4 years for us.

There has to be a reason for that…….
