Tomlin's attitude

[LeningradCowboy]

Perhaps 30 was an exaggeration but there's about 10 games where Tomlin pulled a rabbit out of a hat to get a result

Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley, West Brom, and Derby at home and Charlton, Leeds, Birmingham, Luton, and Bristol away.

Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley, West Brom, and Derby at home and Charlton, Leeds, Birmingham, Luton, and Bristol away.

So, a massive exaggeration then.

If your calculations are correct, Tomlin 'single-handedly' won City 14 points last season as opposed to 30.

Interesting that Tomlin gets credited with 'single-handedly' winning points for the team whenever he scores a goal. Is the same true for the rest of the team?

Glatzel certainly didnt singlehandedly get us a point v Leeds.

There was a brilliant piece of individual skill by a certain Lee Tomlin which noone else in the team was capable of. Roll on his return.

I'm not disputing for a second that Tomlin was an important player last season. Without him, I'm certain the side would have finished mid-table as opposed to in the play-off positions. However, the notion that he won 30 points single-handedly is plainly daft.

Will he have a significant impact again this season or was last season as good as it gets from him? We shall see.

In most of those games, Tomlin grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck. Nobody else put their hand up. Take Leeds for example, we were dead and buried and two bits of magic got us one of the best feelings I've ever had at a game. Barnsley we were awful and he gets the brilliant pass for Ward and the winner. Luton, the game was terrible and he produces a bit of magic from nowhere. He sets up both goals at Wednesday, and we win 2-1. He was an absolute pleasure to watch last season and we haven't had too many players like that in recent seasons.

Was it Tomlin who robbed Rooney as well?

Being a scouser, Rooney is probably used to it.

Indeed it was , but again some don't think that mattered

Absolutely spot on.

This season we've seen the result of not having him in the team. 2 gifts from a dreadful Forest defence, a scrambled Tomlin goal against a side 2-0 up and cruising, a well worked goal on the break at Preston, a good finish from Wilson, a deft pass from Ojo and 2 penalties. 3 goals through creativity and open play in 9 games isn't great.

Bang on the money

A vital player , a match winner , enigmatic

. Whereas Tomlin undoubtedly has qualities that most footballers don't possess, he isn't fit to lace their boots. Just THINK about what you are writing!

Seriously.........

Worthington and Mckenzie were even bigger drinkers than tomlin and Worthington was on 20 fags a day

Tomlin is very much like them , enigmatic but on his day unplayable

You are a moaner and moan about cardiff city almost every time you are on here

I don't know why you bother , even if we were beating Liverpool and man United every time we played them you would think we should be scoring more goals or playing better football

Hahahahahahaha.

Worthington played 828 games (largely in the top division) and scoring 260 times as well as playing for England 8 times.

McKenzie won the European Super Cup and was also played successfully mostly in the top division.

If you think that just because that were perceived as ‘Mavericks’ and therefore comparable to Tomlin then you really do need your head examining.

Comical.

He was the difference last season .

A game changer . Almost everything good involved Tomlin.

Is it a coincidence we are looking poor without him?
