Lewis Cook

[SeafrontSupporter]

He was head and shoulders above every one else today.

A feat he probably doesn't experience that often.

Absolutely fantastic. Took a few games post injury. Has to be one of the first names on the team sheet now.

Eddie will buy him.

I wish! He's excellent sometimes but, his passing is just too poor and nowhere as consistent as he needs to be, particularly for where they're heading.

Excellent the last three games!

Wonder if he's been affected by all the talk about his future. He needs to focus on the now if so. His passing has always been a bit inconsistent, but I think he's missing Cahill's coaching.

Thought this was going to be a positive thread... but no.

Kelly was decent enough today what’s the issue? Everyone’s allowed an off game.

 

[Horatio]

100% agree. Used to captain England under 21, didn't he? When we sell Kelly, hopefully Lewis will stay and be our captain.

Yes he did, Freddie Woodman mentioned it in his interview when he joined, still calls him ‘Skip’.

 

[zigger zaggar]

Lol, have a read through it again. People are entitled to criticise... So try not to get upset about it.

There you go bloody entitled people!

Does it really matter? To be successful we need leaders, plural, on the pitch. Whoever has the armband is an irrelevance.

Just captain qualities. Perhaps if Lewis had started the season, he would have been chosen.

He’s captained the side to 2nd in the league…?!!

He’s obviously been chosen for a reason. Looks vocal enough and an organiser when needed. Don’t see why the criticism is needed.

 

[CherryBare]

And what reason would Parker make at this stage of the season to strip Kelly of the captaincy?
Hardly the ringing enforcement

Isn't the be all, but I think it can make a real difference. The captain can legitimately calm players down (without older players telling him/her where to go) and mediate with the ref if there are issues. Agree though that there needs to be more than one leader on the field.

A real difference - in terms of being better than 2nd? Jeeeez

He wouldn't do it now, you're right and that would cause ill feeling, but next season when Kelly is likely to be playing for another team like Newcastle, I reckon Lewis would be great.

You been on the beers or bears Blandford?

Just can’t believe after a win and sitting 2nd the subject of Kelly not being upto being the captain is being discussed.

You've clarified above that should Kelly move on then yes Lewis would be ideal but I can’t see it happening otherwise

It's more that Lewis would be a fabulous captain, and yes, I think he has more presence about him than Lloyd.

Just really pleased Lewis has got back to the level that we know he is capable of. Credit to him after 2 horrific injuries. If he stays fit he will be a key player in the coming weeks and will get us back to the PL. Also glad to see Kelly back on form after Tuesday.
