    Yes I'm not disagreeing with regards Cook he's been poor by his standards but I'd bet he's still our leading scorer come the end of the season.
    Last line of defence fans pick up on things and for me he was at fault for both their first two goals, he had a great season last season and got the praise he deserved along with Cook, without doubt those two being a massive part of where we finished in the league.
    Harry has not looked the same player this season is he still having other issues if so it makes our situation even more irresponsible he told us of his situation at the start of the season and we didn't bring someone in as back up, not that I think Doyle would let us down if called upon of course that only my opinion.

    I reckon it's because his arms are cold. Needs to start wearing a long sleeved shirt.

    I will say it again yes he has been poor but he won us the points at Wimbledon with some brilliant saves.

    Was that also Taylor's problem? He seemed to spend much of the match waving his arms about.

    So that's what you call going above and beyond wining the team points because he's done his job, I don't think we'll agree on this one.

    Come off it if Cook had scored a hat trick he would rightly take the plaudits if we are to criticise Lewis let’s praise him when he has a blinder

    But he hasn't that's the point, you attend games from our first home game he's could have cost us but other saved his embarsement, , I can find others if you want, , , many do you need.

    I think you are being deliberately obtrusive I said he has been poor but he was excellent at Wimbledon and saved us the points

    Don't make me laugh, you have the evidence there.

    It seems you don't like being proved wrong evidence there in each video I've posted with regards poor goal keeping, your the one when I said he was "doing his job", replying "above and beyond", now we have it down to just the one game at Wimbledon.

    I've only seen the goals so won't comment on the overall performance but for me he should have saved at least two of them and was also massively culpable for a third (their first).

    Let's be honest, if we asked Lewis himself I'm absolutely certain he'd be honest enough to admit that he's disappointed with his contribution for the goals.

    Go back and read the conversation right from the start that he has been poor but won us the points at Wimbledon. Please read it

    Sometimes, fans can judge a whole performance on one or two mistakes. Lewis should have done better for the first two goals; arguably, his performance in the first half was a 4 or 5 out of 10. However, in the second half, he kept the score down with some top saves and probably put in a 6 out of 10 performance.

    Due to how poor everyone else was last night, you have to say that Lewis was probably our MOTM!

    Do stop being deliberately obtrusive, he kept us in the game at Wimbledon.

    No one is disputing that, but he's definitely not the same player this season

    I don't need to go back he made the save making himself big on the edge of our box the rest were howlers/poor finishing by the Wimbledon players, the one where he pushed the ball over the cross bar is an everyday save for any keeper, as you say both Cook and Lewis were a massive reason we got a play off place but they have both been poor in comparison this season.

    Exactly my point, unfortunately when you try and point it out it looks like a Harry Lewis scapegoating exercise, and it not.
