Fordy62 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Rumour has it our favourite love to hate player is set to sign for League 2 Walsall. I can only assume he’s completely out of shape to be signing there? In league two he could be amazing… or a career ending car crash… watch this space!

His history at all the clubs he landed at says it all. From brilliant start to then a non event and waste. A waste of a talent, waste of a wage, and became a waste of time. He himself admits he has demons… So, the cycle continues and will be an interesting watch. I will always remember that goal against Huddersfield home, and the free kick at Fulham…. I thought he would end up back at Peterborough for the third or fourth time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can remember one outstanding piece of skill can’t remember who against maybe Sheffield Wednesday. Right in front of the Dolman touch line, the ball was played to him from our fullback and with their left back running into press him, Tomlin flicked the ball over the onrushing players head with the outside of his foot and was away. Sublime to the ridiculous at times though as I also remember that atrocious penalty infront of the atyeo. Clearly very talented but also flawed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheltons Army Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 One of LJs first , and IMO , one of his, if not his biggest , major mistake in his tenure. Eddie Howe wanted rid asap and the reasons weren’t hidden , but Lee believed he could be ‘the one’ to manage Tomlin (The very same as he believed he was ‘the one’ to get the best out of Kasey Palmer , when others more experienced , such as Tony Mowbray had failed and given up) ( Two prime examples of LJs ‘over confidence in himself’ and bet LJ looks back on it as a mistake ) Tomlin undermined LJ and failing to act decisively and get rid that undermining of a HC / manager can quickly fester and spread, it won’t have helped LJ with the rest of the squad Shouod never have signed him permanently and should of got rid as soon as he demonstrated his normal behaviour & traits 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
