He has some work to do to convince Mick McCarthy he is worth a place in this season's squad never mind team
Whisper it quietly, but it remains that the ideal scenrio for Mick McCarthy would be for another club to take him off our hands and free up the considerable amounts of money we continue to donate to him each week as things stand
Some Bluebird supporters live in an Utopian world, where Tomlin will finally turn uo and put a full shift in but history (not just at the CCS) shows that to be an unlikely scnario and our astute manager knows that
Has he ever defended him? I don't recall anything but criticism; yet other injured players have seemingly had that support (Vassell included)
Seems it's all about attitude and professionalism...
even on a free transfer its very very difficult to see anyone taking on his wages ....so the hope has to be that he realises without a half decent season he will find it extremely difficult to get any sort of anywhere come next June....

Of course, but the irony for me is the numbers on here (we had a vote) who wanted him gone at any cut but are now changing their stance...
Their prerogative, of course, but Tomlin is too long in the tooth now and has 'played' a few clubs now. He has shown little or no commitment to this or any other club he has played for and at no little expense for those clubs either...
Our club's fault for giving him a new contract off the back of half a dozen decent performances after Neil Warnock effectively banished him but was forced to bring him back but it seems we have finally learned
