82 | Rico Lewis - 2025/26

I don't think he's the answer to the mare's nest that is our right-back position, but he's a tidy midfielder. I'd still like to see him improve two things: his stamina/speed, on which the new coaching staff should help, and his composure/shooting in front of goal.

People can have whatever opinions they want. It’s how they manage to sound like the largest douchebags possible when talking about our own players

Anyone using the term “douche bag” sounds suspect to me. It’s rarely heard outside Trump’s boudoir.

He will likely play in 40 games a season, but we need a top rate right back as he not quite good enough.

What about "ball bag"?

Don’t disagree. However, I’m unconvinced that there is one available at an acceptable price this summer, so the search will continue for a while yet.

You hum it and I’ll play it.

 

[Damanino]

he is a very good player to have in the squad, academy lad, not crying for playing time if he isnt selected in line up for 6/7 games in a row.
he just shouldnt start as much or get his starts mostly in easier home games and cup games and some lesser CL games.

if we would get someone that is better and/or older he would not accept this kind of rotational role and could cause trouble due to playing time.

I honestly don't think Lewis has progressed since his debut season. If anything he's regressed. Next season he needs to improve or i think we'll get rid if he doesn't.

Quite so. One speaks the King’s English on here.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

I don't see him fitting into a wingback system at all, unless it's in central midfield and we're already massively oversubscribed there. Of course, we'll almost certainly play all kinds of systems over the course of the season, but the wide wingbacks getting up and down all game was a major plus point of that performance last night

 

[Dax777]

Didn't notice him lecturing pep on positional stuff as they went off at HT when i watched it live.

Doesn't surprise me. He clearly understands yhe game at a deep level.

WTF???

Seems harsh that. The follow through looked a natural action. Probably shouldn’t have been sent off but to then extend his ban is bizzare.

What the fuck

Genuinely think that's the worst decision of that kind I've ever heard. Assumed this was some kind of sarcasm when I read it. It was a farcical red to begin with, what an utter joke. Winning the ball cleanly with a fair sliding tackle is now deemed serious foul play. May aswell adopt kids 5-a-side rules of no going to ground in that case.

Fucking hell. How can they compound their own mistake? It was never a sending off in the first place.

I dont think that rule is far off.
