    Have a sneaky suspicion he is on his way if LJ is kept as first team manager.

    We need a new man in place that can play this genius in his correct position.

    I wouldn't make Tomlin more important than the Manager. He is not bigger than the team or club

    Which implies he's bigger than his club. It has to be considered the format of other aspects of the team when he's in it including defending.

    Tomlin is a problem not a solution!

    And I love watching him...

    I really enjoy Tomlin, but tbh I don't think he's a team player. IMO he is the one that we are using to sacrifice two up front.

    Is he a modern version of Lee Trundle?

    Not as many pies then but the waistline looks eerily similar.

    He has been **** for weeks. wont track back or even drop and fill space a bit. lazy and arrogant. costing the team points by leaving team mates 2 v 1 in matches. nobody is bigger than the team unless they really are a genius and Tomlin isn't.

    He appears to have fallen off his perch.

    I'd play him in the hole centrally.
    I can't believe, with a player of his talent and remember how fantastic he was last season, that he's being played in his best/only position.
    Tomlin is a casualty of Junior not knowing his best side or set up.

    TOMLIN is a victim of an inferior footballing brain ... Lee is like a scientist ..from the 1700's who has been teleported to the 1800's and given a load of tools but no clue on what they are for or how to use them ..... the tools are a knife a fork and a spoon ................

    Yeah with redprintt on this one. You can't shoehorn your best player in the best interests of the team, as ultimately it is at the detriment of the team.

    Remember how great Matthews was last season when he, like Tomlin was playing for a move - enough said!!
    Last season counts for nothing, and everyone's criticism of LJ is testament to that!! If Tomo isn't cutting it and he is the reason we can't play 2 up top to accomodate him then he either adapts or moves on. I suspect this is why B'mouth didn't mind moving him in despite his game changing ability, just like a certain JET!
