Cardiff City's Lee Tomlin says he wants to be "making the difference" after tweeting during the Bluebirds' embarrassing defeat to Sheffield Wednesday on Monday.
Mick McCarthy's side were already staring down the barrell of a hammering on a nightmare afternoon for the visitors in the Steel City when Tomlin tweeted an emoji showing a monkey with hands over its eyes.
He quickly deleted the tweet after City fans got annoyed with him, but moved to explain the meaning behind it after a few fans appeared to get the wrong end of the stick.
Only just two weeks ago Tomlin was arguing again on twitter with other City fans.
"If fans think I’m having a go in anyway trust me I’m not. I want to be playing making the difference," he said.
He then added: "And the fans that know me,they know how much I want to be playing."
In truth it was a game that cried out for some Tomlin magic.
It was a humiliating afternoon for City at Hillsborough, who shipped five goals in an abject performance lacking virtually everything a McCarthy side prides itself on.
The result all but ended their faint play-off hopes, with six games left to be played of the season.
Tomlin has endured a nightmare campaign with injuries, with the midfielder sidelined for the majority of the season due to a groin problem. He is close to making a first-team return for the Bluebirds, but suffered further frustration last week when he rolled his ankle in the warm-up for an under-23s clash.
McCarthy said at the time: "Lee Tomlin rocked his ankle prior to the under-23s game. It’s nothing major. To be fair to him, he has been working hard, but has been a long way back from the fitness expected by me."
"He was due that other game in the under-23s. It’s sod’s law, in the warm-up he stood on one of our other player’s ankles and it wasn't the other player who got injured - it was him.
"He’s not going to be long. It just puts his training programme back, that's all, and his recovery from his last injuries."
