goldstar Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Watch the team celebration with him after he scores, i dont think some of the personality traits people level at him are quite right somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking this in general, rather than with reference to Tom, myself. Last season we had a a wonderful team spirit unlike anything we had seen for years but this group, despite everything that’s gone on and not hitting the dizzy heights of that group still look to be a close group. I obviously have no idea, but I’m going to credit that to Twan’s hugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Sounds like he was excellent yesterday. Was certainly a brilliantly placed strike for the winner. Let’s hope he keeps it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was the obvious bond between manager and fans but dont think there is ever going to be any major team spirit when the spine of the team is loanees. Team spirit under Nigel Clough/Stevie Mac was different level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcfc4ever Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Well played today again Tom. Losing Holmes and Rooney looking bang average today we needed your creativity and the goal was worth the admission fee.Would like to see Lawrence taking our corners again as Wayne’s corners have not been the best and this would put Rooney in the box where he’s good in the air Be nice to see him taking some free kicks too if he can get the ball off Captain Rooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramslad1992 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Man of the match for me today... not his biggest fan but put the shift in today. I was especially pleased with his defensive side. Storm Dennis has to take a bit of credit for the goal though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram1964 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Never been a big fan,had higher expectations of him when he joined us and have been annoyed with his inconsistent performances and a lack of them, in many a game felt he went missing for 80 mins of the 90. However in recent months appears to be more strategical ,consistent and has a far better work rate. Throw in the occasional goal and he appears to be becoming the player we thought we were buying. Great goal today ,should improve his worth a little, just need another ten like that this season Tom. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Echo others on here, thought he was our best player today. Very quiet first half, but came to life after his wondergoal (what a strike btw!). Again he was doing all the things we’ve wanted from him since he joined - making the right decisions on the ball, and working hard off it. There wasn’t any overplaying and running into dead ends, he really worked hard for the team. Made the right runs, made the right passes and all done with some quality too. He had some excellent touches and runs after his goal particularly. Ive been a critic of his, but if he keeps this form up then I think we can finally consider him to be getting close to the top class player at this level that we hoped we’d bought. Keep it up Tom.

Andicis Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Much much improved recently, Tom has been playing really well. We all know he's talented, but he's been much more solid with his passing and decision making, and that's in turn making his performances much better. Deserves a lot of credit.

Mucker1884 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Still running into brick walls. Still giving the ball away. Still mis-firing shots off target. Still going missing for chunks of a game... But the good stuff is showing in more games, for longer periods in each game, and for more consecutive games. He's getting better, more consistent, and more reliable. It's a slow process, but he's still progressing towards what many of us hoped for, and expected of him. He most certainly isn't going backwards, even though he isn't progressing quite as well/fast as I'd hoped. My enjoyment of seeing his good stuff is not only still there, but is evident more and more often in individual games, and for more and more games. There's a long way to go, but he's on the right road, heading in the right direction, and the traffic ahead appears to be clear. Still a thumbs up from me on one hand... the other hand has fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
