Lee Evans

[Bladezz]

He cannot play for us. He cannot pass it forward. He was worse today than when he played at Barnsley. He’s managed to make it so we cannot attack like pre Christmas as he constantly passes it backwards. What he was doing for there first goal is Sunday league.

Cannot wait for Coutts to come back in.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Coutts Lite.

With all the look and shape of Coutts but with all the passing ability, close ball control and positional awareness taken out.

He is to Coutts what aspartame is to sugar.

 

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

He cannot score either ! Oh wait ....... Boro ? Take a chill pill and stop looking for scapegoats they were all poor today !
As ever UTB !
Ps go and s@@g the missus or something to get rid of your frustration

 

[jt64]

If he didn't bag twice against Boro and as a result the season was over before today would you have made this post?

Sad but very very true.

He may sometimes take the easy option and I'm not sure him and Fleck entirely compliment each other, but I certainly wouldn't single him out for criticism today. He shows for the ball and tries to keep play moving from side to side. Nothing spectacular, but not bad.

 

[Berlin Blade]

I think he was a good signing.

No he scored 2 worldies that not many in this league can do. There is a good footballer in there no doubt. But for the way we play he destroys it.

Our attacking ethos has died a death when he entered the team. How many times Stearman passes him the ball and he just passes it back to him.

At least call the thread 'Lee Evans is shit' so I know not to click on the link.

 

[IOM Blade]

He does like to play it safe, but the movement upfront and outwide is non-existent away from home. We played with a flat back five today. Don't think JOC and Bash went in Brums half and both Baldock and Stevens were shite.

Did you see the reaction of JoC for there first goal? Did you see CW reaction when’s a evans got to half way line for the Kick off.

He stands front posh to make sure there first goal doesn’t happen. It reminded me of my Sunday league days.

I didn’t notice anything in particular on the occasions, but I’ll keep an eye out on the replay.

Either way, I still wouldn’t say he played notably worse than anyone else and made an effort to get on the ball.

 

[WigglyBlade]

I’ve said it for weeks: you can’t play Lundstrum and Evans together. They’re ok to have on the pitch if we’re winning and want to keep the ball but if we’re chasing a game Evans is so slow on the ball that the play totally slows down every time it comes to him and he invariably plays it sidewise or backwards after taking a couple of seconds to decide what to do. I personally think it’s time to give Leonard another chance. He can’t do worse than Evans!

I knew we were gonna miss Coutts but we’re almost a different side without him. I bet Flecky is counting down the days until he gets his midfield partner back.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Comparing him to Coutts is like comparing apples to oranges.

Once Coutts is back, a midfield 3 of Coutts, Evans and Fleck will make us hard to beat away from home.

 

[breeny]

This surely must be bullshit. He's had some good performances, usually looking very composed on the ball. It's the end of the season but not a reason to slag off players who have done well for us.

 

[Guesty]

The beloved Lundstram, on the other hand ,has been instrumental in our rise from 1st to 11th.

 

[Chali 2na]

He cannot play for us.

He can and he will.

Sad but very very true.

Nope, just sad.

Say what you mean.

What did you say about him against Middlesbrough ?

 

[Bladezz]

What did you say about him against Middlesbrough ?

Scored 2 worldies that not many in the league can do?. I’m not saying he doesn’t have footballing ability for our side he absolutely kills our attacking play on his own. The amount of backwards passing isn’t our ethos. Our ethos pre Christmas was attacking now it doesn’t seem to be the case.

You do know Lundstram has been here since the start of the season don’t you?

 

[originaltrueblade]

I think Evans has been a good signing next season him Fleck and Coutes we will have the best midfield in the championship

 

[Guesty]

You do know Lundstram has been here since the start of the season don’t you?

And he's been a regular since November.

Why oh why do we attract these people to the Lane ?

 

[Guesty]

Say what you mean.

Ok, I don't think John Lundstram is particularly good at football.

His emergence as a regular starter co-incided with our fall from out of the automatic places and ultimately the play-offs.

Correlation is not causation and all that but I think we need better than Lundstram

Fair enough.

I disagree in a sense that, while I acknowledge Lundstram is limited and probabaly not yet suited to a promotion push, he is showing promise and can't be a priority to replace with so many other positions being so weak.

Well you make a good point about need elsewhere.

I just think it's strange that people are attacking Evans who has been here since January, when the lad next to him has been in the team since the slide started

Who set up Clarkes goal against Millwall ,who set up Duffy today ? Who has gone very close with 3 long range efforts in both those games and scored 2 in the one before Try watching the fucking game.

I think we should refrain from attacking anyone.

 

[Guesty]

I think we should refrain from attacking anyone.

Probably a sensible policy.
