jrh Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 11 wins, 2 draws in the 13 games since he signed. Another stupid decision by Monk to let him go Co soldering the back up we have (not much). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeder Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Would've still been the best player in our midfield if we'd kept him by a country f.kin mile. Can see why the decision to let him go was made.... but it was an absolutely awful one. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls-Fan Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Isn’t he playing in league 2 now? Not quite the same as playing against Norwich is it. Yes he should have been kept, but I’d hope the likes of Paterson and Pelupessy would look half decent in league 2. Then again.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonstrix Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Kieran Lee was a wonderful servant to this club and would have been even better, but for his terrible luck with injury. That said, it was time for him to move on and yes, he is doing well for Bolton - in the 4th division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the reports from some about the extent of the control of the chairman over even the ordering of basic office supplies, what are the odds that it's the manager who is in sole charge of the squad?

I heard Ross Wallace has a good game for St Mirren the other day, should never have let him go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forgot he was without a club for months before Bolton, he wouldn't have had the same negotiating power. I'm trying to find the article but it said he was one of our higher earners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you mean the old 'but JP is a defensive midfielder you can't expect him to be doing anything else'. Lee was equally as good all over the pitch. He could defend and tackle as well as getting forward, creating chances and chipping in with goals. He's a lot more mobile. IMO KL would have given us a lot more than JP this season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggowl Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 He ended up at Bolton in League 2. So the whole of the Championship and League 1 decided he was too much of a risk to sign. Watched him play today looked ok, not outstanding but part of a team doing well. Good luck to him but his best Champ days are gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 The issue is not moving Lee on. The issue is our recruitment team not having the skill or ability to find his replacement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Apolon Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 With Bolton's and our respective form we'll probably be lining up against him next season and there are very good even championship standard individuals in league 2 just playing for league 2 teams. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but the time was right for him to move on, we'll never know if his form and fitness would have carried through to us this season and if we do see him next season and fans are allowed itll be quite the reception he receives and rightly so. But let's move on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Seems he is doing very well for Bolton in league 2. Not surprised he is one of the best players at that level, I’m more surprised he has stayed fit for so long. Pleased for him. A player we haven’t replaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
