Popular Post Holmowl Posted September 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2021 Interesting to read Town fans’ views on Tom Lees so far. One of the later posters talks about Lees putting it into Row Z or clearing upfield to clear danger. I think we were too obsessed with wanting him to play out from the back. Glad he’s doing well. Fine defender. https://downatthemac.proboards.com/thread/116271/best-signing-far 14 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Clearly he needed a fresh start as he’d gone stale here. I hope he does well there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickly Kevin Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 A fresh start will hopefully do him good. He gave us some great service and never an attitude issue with him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Lees is a decent Championship defender. No surprises at all he is doing well at defending, in the Championship! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZicoSterland2 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Good defender at his best, went stale here and it was time to move on for both parties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) But he’s not a fine defender in today’s world, is he? Depends what you define as good I suppose, for a lower league club maybe hoofing into row z is all that’s required But he’s horrendous with the ball at his feet, awful passer, poor anticipation, could easily get turned and rinsed Edited September 15, 2021 by FreshOwl 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 His defending was never an issue, apart from being prone to odd error. The problems came when we turned into a side that needed its centre backs to be able to play a little bit. Not his game at all, which ended up seeing him caught on the ball and ultimately drained of confidence all together. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Block all day but when he actually got the ball at his feet and had time to think anything could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True I think it was Boro away under Jos and it was like a comedy sketch at times, he kept getting himself in all sorts of trouble trying to find a man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think that his strength wasn't playing out from the back and when allowed to do the things he was good at he was our best defender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
