82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

There was a ranting moron slating him on the way out of the ground tonight. Piss poor. He's a kid and has been thrown in at the deep end, this is not on him and it's pretty poor people going in on him
 
Miles out of his depth.

Put sentiment to one side for a second. If he wasn't a local lad brought theough the academy he'd be getting pelters more than he is now.

Fans saying he's been thrown in and shouldn't be playing week after week. He's nearly approaching 100 first team appearances for the club.

If we would have strengthened properly in yesrs gone by. He'd probably still be on loan somewhere.

He's not an elite level player, but he's all we've got at the minute.
 
Trap, two touches and pass more often than not backwards.
The game stops when he collects it giving time for them to reset

This is right. He gets the ball, looks forward as though he's about to unleash a defence-splitting pass, gives a little jump and then passes it sideways or backwards.

Of course, he's not to blame for the current malaise. To me he's a symptom of the wider problem. If he's one of our best players in training, which, presumably, he must be, we are in even bigger trouble than most of us accept.
 
He always looks busy but does very little

Certainly not a midfielder by any strecth of the imagination

This. We’ve had a world class RB in Walker and world class when he could be arsed in Cancelo. We’ve had world class midfielders for as long as I can remember. Rico is a massive drop off in both positions. He is serviceable in a dominant side and we have seen this in recent seasons. What he cannot be, is the replacement to any of these world class players. If he is the replacement, there is only one way this club is heading. It’s not just him though. We are seeing a decline in quality in a lot of positions.
