Rev Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 He's been good for his longest spell with us so far. I hope he keeps it up, see no reason why he can't carry this form to the seasons end and see where it leaves both us and him. Credit where it's due, he's winning me round.

Comrade 86 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Just a quick thought on the reasons behind his recent improvement. Personally I'd spread the credit around. Ton first, given his bereavement, then losing his way and being vilified for it. It must have seemed a long road back. Also noted Tom himself mentioning his relationship with Cocu and the way that Cocu has allowed him a freer role. Wazza on-field has gotta be a help for all of the lads but in terms of our play, Wayne's always available and is also capable of putting the ball where Tom needs it. Clearly Chris Martin falls into that category too as well as Max Bird. Lastly, the club itself have gone out of their way to protect Tom and were extremely understanding over his circumstacnes and even the Joinersgate episode. It's been a bit of a perfect storm therefore, but one I'm delighted about. In this kind of form he's such an exciting player to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play , I believe it’s probably a mix with Cocu having a big part to play in it ,, even poss that Rooney shows respect for cocus pedigree and management and this encourages the others to follow suite, course it’s entirely poss that Cocu has treated Tom so decently through his recent turmoil that Tom has big respect and will run through walls for him , cocu certainly strikes me as the kind bloke people can respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks a different player at the moment. Glad he's showing his potential, would've been such a waste for him to continue the way he was earlier in the season and before when we seemed to be carrying him. Talented lad no doubt, long may it continue, as in his current form he is a massive asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
