ghostofcecere Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Technically gifted player with good vision at the lower levels, but I have to say 4 managers haven't rated him highly enough to play for us now. I think in a few years he might find his feet in a creative centre midfield role i.e. without the tackling! Good luck Lewi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza699 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Sad thing is I'd have both of them in this squad at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haribo_man Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Got to agree with you there Razza. I just don't get the Lewi thing. We have always looked a better team with him in the side and he knew how to play the game yet some how has failed to be a shoe in under a number of gaffers. People have said it is his attitude and how he trains but I never got that impression of him whist on the pitch when it actually mattered. A good signing for Morecambe anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Mistake on Lewi leaving IMHO and good luck to the lad. Rumour has it that he's needs a rocket up his 'aris in training but I agree that the team looked more balanced and productive with him in it. Incidentally, what's the fascination with the official site and players who have exited the club? I'm more interested in developments of players coming into the club as on one hand it's early days but on the other pre-season starts next week and we need the team gelling as early as possible so we're off and running come August. I know it's to generate hits to the site or something but in a order of priority, I'm more interested in whats coming into the club shop in way of newly branded merchandise so I can buy to wear on holiday rather than being told that someone who left us last season (or even longer ago) has signed for X. In the words of Hawksbee and Jacobs - "Who Cares?" and "What a waste of ink (or pixels or whatever on this occasion)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaskedOwl Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 2 good signings for them. Id have given Lewi a 1 year deal. Also, i dont think many wanted Gary Mac to leave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone trawls all the sites and a round up of what's happening in our division doesn't go amiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good signing for Morecambe anyway I also thought Lewi was the best strike partner we had to play alongside Lee Hughes. If things had been different I thought they could have formed a really dangerous partnership over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 How many chances dces a guy deserve? What's he done in 3 years? A hattrick against Scunthorpe, some nice link up play with Lee Hughes for 10 or so games and a little bit of promise by playing out wide for several games last season. The guy has also been injured for a large spell recently. And he seemingly has motivational and application issues. Dickov doesn't believe we need him, he's released better players than Alessandra, I'll trust his judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLee Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 With lewi on the left and jones on the right we looked a far more solid unit in the midfield. They both tracked back and did there jobs. It was when Dickov started messing about and put White and Morais there that we started to look weaker in the midfield. Anyway good luck Lewi!

Hometownclub Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Sad thing is I'd have both of them in this squad at the moment I wouldn't, they've proved as many before them that they can do much better and score many more goals in League 2 than they ever could in League 1. Recently Smalley, Alessandrs, Davies and O'Grady have all scored goals in League 2 but not when they take the step up to League 1.

Done enough to warrant a 300k price tag though, not a goalscorer at this level but his hold up play is brilliant, still wonder why he never got a chance!

Recently Smalley, Alessandrs, Davies and O'Grady have all scored goals in League 2 but not when they take the step up to League 1. Same here Correct decision to move both Lewi and Smalley on in my opinion. With all due respect to both of them (this applies moreso to Lewi), but they were living off a couple of outstanding performances in the first team. Both failed to perform at this level with us on a regular basis, and once they got their 3 year contracts, in my opinion they never really pushed on from there. I would much rather have fresh, young hungry players who are capable of making the grade in our squad such as winchester, mellor, tarky, rather than players who have stood still for three years living off a couple of outstanding performances.
