Well, well, well, I would never have guessed.......... how very predictable.

He certainly has 'added something different to what we have already got '.

Well if jpp is injured it makes sense to have him here..... Think he's being unfairly critiscised,  because of everyone wanting the Bogle/amond partnership ( and dont get me wrong I do too!) but i dont think he's been that bad imo

Its all part of Hurst's cunning plan,

Hurst wanted him for 3 months and Tomlinson was happy to come for 3 months,

Barnet however wanted to see how he got on with the option of getting him back after a month
full of goals and confidence,

So Hurst said do not score any goals pass the ball for your partner to score every time,

Barnet will not want you back so we then can extend the loan for a further 2 months,

Do not score more than 1 goal in the next 2 months,

Then we can sign you for peanuts on a permanent contract,

Once signed on a long contract you can start banging the goals in.

Very cute is our Paul.

Tomlinson is the new Robinson. Regardless of how he plays, he's the figurehead to those who want rid of the manager so he can never do any right. Against Gateshead, there were moans and groans among the crowd when he miscontrolled the ball early on that our other strikers wouldn't have received. He's not been brilliant for us but I understand that he was apparently a lot more involved than Bogle against Braintree. He was a lot more involved than JPP against Gateshead and FGR (though Pittman did obviously score a nice goal in that one), so he's not an empty shirt.

For me, Tomlinson looks a decent enough player at this level but his lack of goals so far is obviously disappointing. I'm surprised he's not been tried with Amond just yet. Wonder if we'll see that tomorrow?

Those who criticise Tomlinson's lack of goals so far should remember that Hearn didn't score until his 11th appearance for the club - I don't remember too many people getting on his back so quickly!

If Tomlinson is going to stay, he will hopefully bag a goal tomorrow (assuming he plays) to silence the doubters, then more after that.

He is LJL writ large. I thought we'd got over that particular style of non-scoring striker.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

I don't understand this getting fed with Hurst if i'm honest Amond is going to join the list of forwards who don't get played Andy Cook, Ross Hannah and now Padraig Amond don't undersand the reasons why he's not getting a look in.

I am also baffled ( again ) by Hurst,

If Amond did nothing but score now and again and did little else you could understand dropping him,

BUT

He has not only scored 16 goals in all matches he runs his socks off working for the team,

He has not had a fair share of the whip imo.
