Lee Tomlin's future
The Nottingham Post have assessed the lie of the land on Lee Tomlin’s future and how likely he is to stay with Forest

Contract: Loan deal until the end of the season
What of the future? That probably depends on Tomlin himself. If Cardiff get promoted to the top flight, he’s talked about going back to Wales and having a crack at the top level, whether or not Neil Warnock would allow that remains to be seen.
If the Bluebirds don’t get a place in the Premier League either in second place or through the play-offs, then you sense Tomlin would be more open to a move here.
It’s no secret about the level of admiration both Tomlin and Karanka have for each other, so the Reds boss will be keen to keep the mercurial frontman on Trentside, but it will cost with City looking to recoup as much of the £2.7m they paid Bristol City last summer as possible.
