In amongst all the bickering I couldn't see any mention of his new contract. Personally really pleased he's signed, looks technically very good & I think the way Garner wants to play will suit him. Hopefully he'll force his way into squad more regularly next season.

I was impressed with the lad when I have seen him. Have confidence he will come good for us eventually.

I wished him well when he played for us. I think he had 2 great chances in first 10 minutes of his first game. He has energy, runs and tries hard. Not from a personal but a physical point, he lacks height and I think this is a huge disadvantage in the modern game; quite a few of our players have lacked height and not done well although Bodin, Taylor, Sinclair etc did superb. Maybe he can take their style and play on board when playing? Only advice when playing is to stay a bit calmer and not rush too much? UTG

he lacks height and I think this is a huge disadvantage in the modern game Try telling Messi, Hazard and Sterling that. All the same height or smaller than Tomlinson.A lack of height as a CB or a GK and I would agree but not necessarily other positions. For what it is worth, I think there is a good player in there with Tomlinson. Hopefully he can kick on with us and break through into the first team squad on a consistent basis.

The point I was making about height is that you need to excel in other areas to “make up” for it.
Matty Taylor had some pace but what he really had extra was his intelligence and creativity and the way he positioned himself especially at set pieces and his calmness in front of goal. Bodin has skill and talent in dribbling; his advantage also was that he was left footed? Sinclair had energy and guts.
So I wasn’t being negative about him. As for all the other great players mentioned by others, no more to say. They stand out because of their skills and talents. I mentioned Ruben Lameras in one post and said he was the best player I had seen all season when we played them at Home Park when they went down. I also said that Ozthumer for Walsall was the best player I had seen at the Mem that season a few seasons ago. Height?
GL to him in his career with us. He seems to have some pace so ..., I hope he does well for us and for himself. UTG

A talented lad from what I saw of him last season. Great news he has signed. Hopefully he can develop into a regular first team member. Congratulations Lucas

I’ve always feel sorry for the lads that never make it due to size and strength. especially in today’s modern game, being smaller, lighter, easier to turn etc has loads of benefits against taller, stronger and slower defenders.

Lucas is one player from Dev squad i was ,and am sure, will make it big time, only thing missing was the physical toughness needed when you make transition from youth to man, hopefully this has developed over the last year and next season we will see a new star emerge, hope we get a good 2/3 seasons from him before the inevitable happens and we sell for good money , good luck Lucas, and all the rest of the youngsters coming through, sure there are exiting times ahead, just hope we will be able to watch! up the Rovers!

That has been the detriment of English Football.
As others have said Messi, Xavi, Iniesta all under 5 feet 5 and 3 of the greatest players in their positions of all time.
Size literally has nothing to do with it.

I am surprised he has not been snapped up by a bigger club tbh. He has all the qualities to be a very good player. Chuffed to bits.

Im sure we will be signing some young talent but if we end up signing young loans just to sit on the bench, I rather the likes of our own youngster get given a chance, like Russe and Tomlinson.
