Rotate some crap defenders but not a knackered kid up front.

Him and bolasie could be a bit of fun to watch if they can strike up a bit of an understanding. Though i don't think bolasie knows himself what he's gonna do lol

If we are to continue to hoof balls and bypass the midfield then I would have Naisse and Tosun up front and then we may have a chance that they may feed off each other. Naisse is much more savvy than DCL and not as easily contained. The midfield is non existent going forward so we also need to release siggy from defensive duties. Alladyce needs now to concentrate more on the outball and coming out as a unit but we have very few capable of carrying the ball. Sign up Barkley I say....give him what he wants or play Vlasic for at least 6 games.

Who isn’t.

That appears to be a move mate.

This lad has done more in about 40 minutes over the last 2 games than the glamour boy.

Did well off scraps

Offered something different when he came on , deserves another start surely

LouReedwalkonthewildside · December 30, 2017

Offers something Lewin doesn't, he gets in behind defenders.

billyblue80 · December 31, 2017

He can't hold the ball up very well (like DCL is capable of doing) but has skills running onto it in terms of assists and finishing. He should start the next run of games for me. DCL looks knackered.

Tennessee Blue Mike · December 31, 2017

When he is on the pitch I feel he will disrupt a defense for some openings more than DCL. Experience shouldn't be dismissed.

DCL offers nothing 90% of the time, I'm beginning to think Brett Angel (not then but now) would offer more. It's a disgrace Niasse isn't getting more starts, it's as if our managers don't want to win.

Is dcl capable? I've yet to see it

I reckon all our managers are going by what he must be like in training fitting in to how they want to play tactically, I think what they should have been judging him on his how he's performed in a match situation.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Lewin starting against the Mancs and the RS.

He holds the ball up WAY better than DCL does. He did it several times yesterday. Before Gana got subbed we looked as good offensively as we have all year. We really did. With a better CF, a LB we don't have to cover for, and a DCM that isn't Morgan that can cover for our backs heading up the field on occassion, we'd be a pretty competitive team.

I even think an in form Bolaisse can help, but you cannot put him on the left as no one is there to help out Martina as he is a complete hole at this point.
