Annis, this is what I was afraid of; the 'Bash Street Kids' making an appearance at the earliest opportunity...
He's still our player and few on here demanded he was released or not given a new contract when he was the catalyst for our promotion push last season
Players get injured, it's footballing life and we really need to get behind them when they are recovering
Spot on Chris and who listens to Fakebook anyway?
Posts like ... ‘get rid’ etc make me laugh. And then they moan of the wages he’s on but unless you pay good wages you won’t get good players but still these people can’t see that and still moan!. It’s like ok let’s just ask a player to leave, let’s get rid!!
He’s been carrying and playing through an injury for a long time quite likely with the insistence of the club.
Players get injured, some more than others. Unfortunate but just get on with it.
I agree you pay good wages and get the likes of Peter Whittingham hardly ever injured and was a class player.
Tomlin couldn’t tie his boot laces that’s a fact. He will stay until his contract runs out and I’d put money on it he won’t get another one. Neither will Vassel.
Lots of players get injured especially from contact but the latter 2 get them from trying to run hmmm sounds familiar
I agree that Tomlin is nowhere near the player that Whitt’s was but if you get injuries it’s not Tomlins fault!
Look around, some players have always been more susceptible to injuries than others. It just a fact of life and nothing can be done about it.
I doubt Tomlin wants to be laying on an operating table undergoing surgery.
I agree with all your sentiments on that I’m only pointing out that things are changing and the likes of these consistent injuries on certain players will lead to them not getting clubs.
It’s unfortunate that Tomlin has not helped himself in the past with being overweight etc.
It’ll take a long time for him to leave on the wages he’s on but if the club can get another player in that position I’d get him as Tomlin won’t be playing for some time even if he comes back.
Whitt’s was one of a kind the like we may never see again and it’s tragic he’s no longer with us. The only solace is that we got to see him play in his pomp. He was a gentleman to go with it.
