toontownman Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Did fine, clearly still lacking a bit of match fitness and form. Good to see he had enough confidence to try something flashy in the opposition half, didn't work out, didn't try it again! Absolutely zero reason to drop him or Fernandez.

Whitley mag Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Much better than Ritchie but seems to struggle with his bearings when receiving the ball. Have to admit haven’t seen much of him previously, but he has an uncanny knack of turning back to his face his own goal and back into the opposition player. Apart from that no complaints holds his position far better defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Looked better defensively than last time in the team. Still clueless going forward, like a deer in the headlights when he gets the ball. He just stops, does a little leg feint that achieves nothing and then passes it sideways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't too much in front of him missing a player in midfield but tbh we need a solid defender first and I've not seen that in him so far until tonight. Yes he's got along way to go but there is a spark there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palestoon Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 funny, when we signed him, the narrative was that he was rapid, and good overlapping but very questionable defensively. hes been the opposite. solid defensively, but pretty clueless going forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Considering the other creative players we have, I'm much happier having Lewis in the team for what appears to be improved defence from the last time I saw him, than Ritchie for his productivity in the final third.

Kid Icarus Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Very good first half, very quiet second, but I felt much more confident with him in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Considering that was his first game in ages and he had zero cover for 80+ minutes, I thought he was very impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapo Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 It helped that he was up against Sargent who looked like a competition winner out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, he nullified Aarons and all. Willock was tucking in as we were a man down and so wasn’t really helping with that overlap until it was too late. When Aarons got crosses in, it was rarely Lewis’ fault and he never really got beat down the line. He looks really nervous and unsure going forward, the same as the last time he was in the team. But hard to judge tonight as we were down to ten for so long. Overall, I thought he was really good and has to play ahead of Ritchie based on that.

gazza ladra Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) relegation striker. Bremen. Norwich. No way US qualifies for the world cup if they are depending on him for goals. altidore was more reliable.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 He had a good game. Not sure what happened with that block he seemed to make almost accidentally, I was at the other end. Pleased he did enough (presumably) to give Howe a reason to keep Ritchie out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Thought he did well, made a couple of good tackles and intercepts. Couldn't offer much going forward because of us being down to 10 men but I liked what I saw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 He looked a bit more aggressive and less scared of the ball, hopefully he can build on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Probably the first time I’ve paid any attention to him, he looks very raw, but with some good attributes. He has one thing Ritchie doesn’t, pace, that in itself is massive. Give him a run, work on his game, let’s see what we paid for… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I happy with what I saw, given that all of the 'press' were saying that 'he's lost his confidence' - well 15 minutes in - he looked like he'd never been away.
