Aiston Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Lewis has been absolutely shocking for us, played OK in a couple of games for Howe and that is it. Still looked scared to touch the ball, cannot go forward and is piss poor defensively anyway. Makes sense to keep Ritchie over Lewis as well, Ritchie is much more vocal, seems like someone good to have in the changing room and is far better going forward and will only play as a winger if needed, instead of wing back.

Consortium of one Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I hope Lewis finds a place to play and he stays healthy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Confirmed as out the squad, alongside Clark & Hayden. Harsh, would’ve dropped Krafth or Dummett myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis missing out kind of makes sense though imo, we have Manquillo, Ritchie and Dummett who can play there and are all more experienced which is needed for a relegation fight, so Lewis would probably be 3rd choice anyway and given he's still relatively young he needs constant game time to improve, so him going out on loan is better for him instead of just sitting on the bench.

Thiago Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Is Matt Ritchie really a better option? I loved Ritchie when he joined, but he's slower than a week in jail these days. It's not his fault, he's a traditional winger by trade being asked to fill a gap, but his habit of letting markets drift off him is a major problem. He also is very susceptible to a ball in behind him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Ritchie is a better option, doesn't need to play as a wing back any more anyway and can focus on being a winger if needed but more that he is a vocal player and sounds like he is good in the dressing room. We have numerous options for left back now and Lewis has shown nothing at all at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Ritchie is surely in as cover for the wide positions. If we're starting with Fraser that leaves us with Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had plenty of chances and been really quite bad for us, and if we don’t see him again it will mean we’ve stayed up and improved on him. It’s sad he hasn’t worked out but I dunno why people are getting upset by it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not personally upset about it but I suppose people want players to succeed with us and it’s disappointing when they don’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not in the squad as much for his playing ability as he is for his leadership abilities. Was one of the few that actually gave a fuck last season and kept us up.

Chrisjraby Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Can't believe we kept Dummett in but left Lewis out. Hopefully that doesn't mean he's fully done here, still think that there's potential for him to come good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don’t see what he has to offer. At least Dummett can defend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
