He just needs to add that bit of aggressiveness to his game and be less timid, his positional play and reading of the game will come with age / more experience.

oldishowl Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I like Lee and we miss him a great deal. However he played his best when the team was flying. I don’t think Lee has had to try and carry a patched up team like Reach has been doing this season. Lee is a better centre midfielder than Reach because he reads the game a lot better however Reach is a better wide player than Lee as anybody who saw Lee play wide right will know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshowl Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Kieran wasn’t the same player last time he came back from injury but was still playing with his injury by the looks of things. A fully fit KL from a couple of seasons back is arguably the best player at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it? Is it because he run around lot? Are you ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beholder Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I don't like these kind of threads. Players don't play on paper and words and opinions don't mean a thing. No matter how well someone writes an argument to run a player down, it means nothing because football is enjoyed live. And I've seen enough of Lee to see not only how fantastic he is as an individual but the effect he has on his team mates. A very infectious player.

Treborowl Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Not often you find a player as good at ghosting into the box (a la Martin Peters). Ghosting into the box hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 We need 10 other players like Lee and another 20 to cover when they are injured. Lee is a good player, but some people on hear think he is the messiah, Reach is quality and rarely picks up an injury so better value to the club and contributes well. Some people are always looking to pull Reach down, just don't get it, I would rather have Reach available for 40+ games than Lee for maybe 15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 What a daft op! Lee scores goals from midfield , breaks up play and adds a load of energy ! A fully fit lee starts in our best 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebowl Yell Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Kieran Lee is well overrated, he runs around a lot like a headless chicken so most of the Northstand are in love with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERSTATE Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) When i asked about his injury at owls in the park he said im fine, im back soon and no im not sick of people asking..in hindsight it made no sense seen as whats happened since..not that id expect him to disclose anything but his hips been screwed for over a year Edited April 9, 2018 by HIGHERSTATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandwhitematt Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Lee is (was) one of the best players we've had post-Premier League, and fully fit would walk into most Championship (and some Premier League) teams. A shame that injuries might have got the better of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) The OP makes some good points. Now Lee is a good footballer but nowhere near as good as some think he is. He isn't box to box, he doesn't spray the box across the pitch, he isn't commanding in the air, doesn't have that change of pace and makes poor decisions with the goal at his mercy. He has played many a good game for Wednesday but equally has had some stinkers that see him hiding in games.

jonnyowl Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Kieran Lee doesn't get critised because he's quality and performs at a high level consistently! Kieran Lee at his best (which is often) is one of the best midfielders in the division! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
