Echo all that’s been said.
Yet in a way I’m glad. That whole team from 2016 - 2019 has now faded away and we need to start again.
Tom is a rare talent and the above team supported it but now it can’t. He no longer fits and he’s not what we need, he’d be utterly wasted with this lot.
We now have a team full of the untalented or the past it. If we survive this year it will be a triumph of mediocrity.
Four years ago we had a team that contained perhaps half a dozen players who would get a gig in any SL team. The last one left was Tom and he’s off.
We now have dads army, some half promising youngsters and a bunch of dodgy mercenaries. Oh happy days.

Pretty much agree with your post and from his debut at Leeds, which is THE best debut from a youngster that I've ever seen (and by some distance), he has been quality, absolute quality.
The bit that I disagree with is "no longer what we need".
The lad can and has won games single handed for us and we could do with that more than ever, a bit of sparkle and X factor to turn a narrow loss into a narrow victory and it's real shame that we have had to do without him for most of the season.
I hope that he can get over his injuries and really shine for Catalan and hopefully for England.
It's been an absolute privilege to have him at Trinity and witness so many remarkable moments.
Good luck lad !
