The drink driving incident was terrible. It was a rare, out of character occurrence. That's not an excuse but he deserves a second chance. Since the incident, you have to say that he has got his head down and performed for the club. I'm not sure where this 'bad attitude' stuff comes from. I haven't seen it. He is a hard working player. The only thing that lets Lawrence down is the petulance and stupid red cards. The Kirchner stuff really isn't something worth mentioning.

The right decision would have been sacking Lawrence then seeking compensation back from him personally as per Adrian Mutu and Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Argh, was always going to go really. A few on here don't rate him but his stock is ok with clubs who can afford him and that's what matters in this instance. Been a rocky road I guess but I've always been in the pro camp and there I remain. Some silly stuff, some lulls in form, but also some exquisite goals that in all honesty, nobody else at the club would have scored. Good luck Tom and thanks for the memories.

Caerphilly Ram Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Unlikely we’d have been able to keep him following relegation, I rated Lawrence and wish him well, much rather remember the worldies he scored than any of the other stuff.

Somewhat different from a young guy who’d just lost his mother and did a stupid thing .. Also he was fit to come to work and fulfill his contractual duties which Keogh was not. Further ..

DCFC_Sloth Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Tom is very much a marmite player for most people on here, though I’m not so sure I view him particularly strongly in either direction. I can’t say I’m that bothered by him leaving; I am neither delighted he has ended his association with the club, or devastated he is gone. Despite his potential, he was never able to have a long term impact, whether through injury, suspension, or erratic form. When he was ‘on it’, he was fantastic for us. The games against Sheffield United and Bournemouth really stand out from this season. For every wonderful moment, however, there seemed to be something silly to go with it. The red card vs Peterborough that saw him suspended for three crucial games, for example. For me, he will go down as a player who had undoubted potential, but lacked the motivation and focus to be consistent. The majority of good Lawrence performances come against top teams and he often goes missing vs weaker ones. In other words, I think he lacks the ability to really motivate himself on lesser occasions. Overall, he was inconsistent and was never able to really kick on when he needed to. His 62 goals and assists in 184 games puts him in a 1 g/a in every 3 games category, which is fine for a middling championship player - something Lawrence could and should be far more than.

The committee actually ruled that no act of gross misconduct had been committed. If the club sacked the others involved, there's a decent chance it would have resulted in payouts to all 3 (or 4) of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence was over 18 therefore in the eyes of the law is responsible for his own actions. Bugger all to do with Keogh keeping an eye on him.
