Lee A Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 23 hours ago, Spondon Owl said: I think people on here are terrifically critical of Lee's. He's generally still a steady eddy. He hasn't made any howlers of late and has been very much integral to our recent purple defending patch. Not sure it's being critical of Lees, more complimentary of Thorniley, he's looked by far the pick of the young players. For a side that was haemorrhaging goals earlier in the season, it's a nice problem to have if a defender as solid as Lees is struggling for a game.

Lees was injured in Friday’s training session by a boot to the shin causing skin puncture on his skin from the boot stud. He would have played otherwise according to Bruce. It’s not Lees’ form keeping him out, it’s his injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, just meant hypothetically after somebody commented that Thorniley's good form may keep him out next season. Would be a good problem to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Rider Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I’m a big Hector fan, Thornily is the best of the crop Jos brought in. Don’t understand the negativity towards Lees though. Since the joker went Hector and Lees have been pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Only thing I can say is it's a lot easier to defend against two of the worst attacks in the league isn't it? Not being negative but see how we get on against better teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe teams that managed 2 or more against us the first time we played them. Be good to measure ourselves against them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 If Bruce decides he doesn't want ball-playing defenders then Lees could well shine again. I wouldn't write him off just yet, it's just that under Carlos and Jos his confidence probably took a bit of a hit as he was being asked to play football as well as defend.

HIGHERSTATE Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Only worrying thing I noticed on Saturday it looked like we were running out of ideas near the end and everything had to come from his long balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It may well be a way off yet but I feel the seeds are planted in the mind of Bruce. Assemble the resources and method for 3-5-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t worry Shandy, everyone sees the light in the end well they definitely hadn’t eradicated them in time for tonight, 2 massive mistakes that any top half team would have seized upon and slotted home....still......as they say, lucky is better than good and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
