Aiston Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 He's been quality since he came back in the side. Defensively always going to be a bit suspect of course, but no big mistakes and he's getting assists, he is a class above Lewis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 He is the experienced head we need back there. No the time for the nervousness of Lewis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Said it for ages, he has to play just because he actually seems to know we’re in a relegation battle. Everyone else doesn’t seem to have a clue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) He's shit and it's depressing that he's seen as an important senior player at NUFC. I don't care that we scored from one of his crosses, that's literally all he ever does and most of them are shit. Go back to Bournemouth.

Armchair Pundit Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 A proper grafter that shows passion and desire to getting a result in every game he plays, he's twice the player that Hendrick or Fraser is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi_Hills Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I’ve never rated him as a player. He just hasn’t got the legs. However, he is clearly the beating heart of our dressing room. Bollocks you if you don’t pull your weight and brays you in the head if you do. I’ve grown to love the wee radgie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Mind apart from the cross he was shocking today. Another that should have been upgraded on and not given a new contract. We have a few of these unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he ever does it cross it, by the law of averages we'll score from one eventually, doesn't mean he's good at crossing.

Lenny Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Apart from the fact that by watching him, you can see he's good at crossing the ball, yes. He has severe limitations, but that doesn't erase his strength's even if said limitations often negate his usefulness to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I also don’t think he’s that good at crossing, especially at set pieces. He should have been taken off today before he did get a cross in. We can and should be upgrading on him, and should have long before now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 There's been loads of players with fairly limited ability go on to achieve great things because they have a better attitude than their more talented counter parts. He's not a particularly gifted player, but as someone like Souness (yuck) would say, hes a man you want in the trenches with you. He will graft, he will fight and more importantly he will set the tempo for lazy cunts like Shelvey. We shouldn't have to have players like Richie in the side, because we should have ambitions beyond him but the fact is, he's more reliable that Lewis right now.

Stifler Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Yeah, we have him be aside of the lack of ambition, however I would have preferred that we sold him in January as we’re were close too and bring in Willems for close to nothing who is a much better LB/LWB than Ritchie in every aspect. The sad truth is, he should have been let go 2 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is a good crosser, he's got decent end product IMO, but his chronic lack of pace makes him a liability in general play. So I agree we should be upgrading, was very disappointing to see him handed a new contract because it summed up our direction under Ashley and Bruce.

St. Maximin Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Often thought he gets unfair stick. He’s not the most talented but as well as being a grafter, has decent technique and is reliable enough. At this level should only be a wing-back though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 His leadership and commitment is second to none, shit footballer who should have been peddled along time ago, but in this current team, he’s been massive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) We know he does need replacing if we are to improve the team, but I have to say his attitude and committment since he has came back has been second to none. He could very easily after the Bruce carry on said 'fuck it', he didn't and you have to give big credit to him for this.

samptime29 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Thought he was pretty good tonight. Made a couple of nice quick nibbles, crossing was solid. Worked hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
