I hope a rest will do him good in the long run. Sorry Tom Lee's, but your time here is over. Thank you and goodbye time to look at the lower leagues. Don't worry think a few of your climates will be joining you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but he sticks out like a sore thumb. Anyone that’s played a team game can recognise that if you got a player lacking confidence it disrupts even the best players .. the reason Bannan was dropping 20yds back for a few weeks was simply cause he could the cards in defence ( and credit it to him) .. people was asking why at the time.

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Looks scared of the ball and devoid of effort. Get rid in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtf was he doing with that second goal. Yes he lost the ball but the lack of busting a gut to get back up and chase the ball back screams hes passed it to me wtf. Hes getting effortless why we dont have the iorfa borner partnership confused me too He had so many options for that second. Busting it into the stands, poking it wide towards Palmer, back to Dawson, turning the opposite way.... Almost endless options, but no. Let's get put on his arse and let Lee fill in at CB as cover. He's a nervous wreck and should be nowhere near our team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb n Custard Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 So much more value in Iorfa. Makes the odd gaff like Lees but more than makes up for it with his offensive play and ability to get back. I just don't see how Lees starts if Iorfa is fit.

He is not up to it and he has become a nervous virus throughout the team. They don’t trust him, they don’t believe in him. Say what you like about Monk ( that’s a different issue) but Lees cannot play for the club again! He looks like the tom Lee's from the game v Leeds when we beat them 6-0 and who was CB for Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panic in defence created by Lees Bannan doesn’t drop back 20 yards to cover Lees. He drops back so it makes his back pass to the keeper easier. Slag Lees off,but don’t excuse Bannan for what he does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't expect a professional football player to make a simple pass..without having to cover him..What the f.ook are the team gonna do? You would go nowhere...It was Lees fault...irrespective of what his team mates around him did... "I better not make this run down the line in case he volleys it towards his own net?" You can't play like that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Powers Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Been a brilliant servant for us, but I’ve not seen someone regress as much as he has in the past 12 months. He is a huge liability at the moment. The lads confident has completely disappeared and gets caught out too much. Another one to move on in the summer.

s6 owl Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) We have had worse defenders but as a captain he is the worst i have ever seen at Hillsborough. Edited February 29, 2020 by s6 owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Lees isn't a captain and probably knows this himself. He also cannot play against players his own size or taller as he gets bullied too easy. All he is interested in is giving a wild ball back to Dawson or a 2 yard pass to Bannan. The last time he was good was with Loovens but then Loovens cleared a lot of his mess up. He needs a transfer to another club and a fresh start as he's one of the stale ones, Give the captains band to Borner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rentaghost Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Only ever performed well over a long period when paired with a commanding partner. Borner could maybe be that, but he’s never captain material and he’s probably the worst player we have in terms of footballing ability and their second goal today proves that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUMBELOWS91 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 His defending is supposed to be his strong point - so much so that we're supposed to forget he can't pass wind, so when his defending isn't up to it we're in big trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I don’t understand why Monk is so reluctant to go with Iorfa and Börner Lees is a good player but desperately needs a change of scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DidOwl Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 1 hour ago, WelshOwl74 said: League 1 defender and worst captain in our history It's actually embarrassing that he is still club captain Find this a bit ott. For a number of seasons, he beat everyone in the air and scored some good headers. He was, for those seasons, the epitome of consistency. I agree he has become less effective and his ability to do more than pass sideways or backwards has waned. Today, he lost confidence and I’m sure he was taking his shirt off as he went down the tunnel at the end of the first half - acknowledging a poor performance. As or the captaincy, it is bestowed and not asked for. I doubt he either sought or wanted it. He’s been a good, hardworking, servant and his time may be over, but don’t over-exaggerate.
