Guest Arcadianrocket Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) It's not surprising that being the unassuming, humble and get on with it type of character he is, he goes under the radar. We have been painful to watch for the majority of this season, least not in defence. We have been suspect all season, especially during the absence of Tom Lees. When we signed Tom Lees we were much a side as we are now. In his first three seasons at the club we equalled the clean sheet record every season, a great achievement in the side under Gray. So whilst we all, and rightly so, take delight in Hutchinson returning, remember we have now taken four points from 6 since our captain Tom Lees has returned. As in character he's snuck quietly back in to his role as our backbone and because of that we now have a backbone. Well played Tom Lees. I will be having a pint for you tonight.

If Carlos had brought in a central defensive partner for Lees after the loss at Wembley, like most people knew we needed, things might have been very different now.

How costly has that one glaringly obvious error been to us!!! I can't dwell on it makes me as angry as the Huddersfield Play Off..... I'm gonna add that I believe CC did want that player though!!

Guest Arcadianrocket Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Second season after the playoff final defeat. Had we signed that centre back and an excellent left back signed we would have gone up. We spent the whole season with Loovens and Fox/Pudil at left back. Westwood, Hunt, Lees, Duffy or Chester, Bennett or better Wallace (a season ago remember) Bannan Lee Reach Hooper FF Ideally you want a better winger then Wallace starting. So from that playoff final we needed a centre back, left back and winger. We signed Abdi, Fletcher, Rhodes for big money when arguably we did not need any of them.

Imagine if instead of £10million on Rhodes we'd have signed a partner for Lees, a winger with pace and a good defensive midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that this is 100% correct, unfortunately is further demonstration of the errors in recruitment. All three here before the Carlos era.

SiJ Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 He's the best centre-half at the club and is so by a comfortable distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without doubt he is the best centre back in the league for me. I know we can be bias but I think at times we have only actually had two of the best players in the league for their position, Westwood and Lees.

Had we signed a partner for Lees, a left back and a winger, we would then probably been in a position to move Palmer on, move Hunt to back up and sign a stronger right back.

Hi Tom, Do you prefer playing with Glenn or Daniel? In all seriousness, he is an accomplished defender at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt is not a major issue. We have far more pressing issues and always have. Hunt has been our right back when finishing 4th and 6th. The only question mark is, is he good enough for a top two side, which we expected to be in the race for this season, probably not. Is e top 6 quality? Yes it's proven.

An educated opinion SiJ, in view of the FFP debacle and likely forthcoming embargo. The club will have to raise cash from some player sales and Lees is clearly one of the saleable assets.
