Lewis Knight ?

[LaxtonLad]

I feel sorry for the lad, coming here to a relatively big club, Wishin' and Hopin' to slot into a Merseybeat-in' attacking role, only to find he's picking splinters out of his arse on a Dusty subs bench every week, waiting to Spring onto the Field. He must be Dionne to play in Warwick, or somewhere, even as a full-Bacharach.

Yes, not much has gone right for him since he joined...

He did get a chance in an extended run of games though, and he just didn't look ready.
The last injury was very recent and seemed a bad reoccurrence of the original (?), either way he'll be a long way from being available now. His time and chance will come

I wish there was as much eagerness to see Elisha Sam given a chance. He's never had anything like the run of games Lewis had, or the number of chances Kairo's had this season..

In an interview back in June(ish) IB said they had to work out a role for Sam and give him a chance in it. I don't think he'll ever be given the luxury of a run of games. He'll have to prove himself in 1 or 2 games, if at all. I hope this begins tonight as I expect him to start... At least then we can say that he did get a chance at Notts, should he move on and prove himself elsewhere. The ability is there.

I think we have two problems with Sam:

1. He was signed without anyone knowing his best position in the side. That's still not been discovered. His cause hasn't been helped by neither Ardley nor Buchnall settling on a forward formation (Wootton by himself? Someone alongside Wootton? Two alongside Wootton?). We still feel like a team in transition that doesn't know how to get the best out of everyone in the squad.

2. Whenever Sam's come into the side or been brought on off the bench, he's just not done enough to earn a place in the team on a regular basis. At Halifax last month, they brought a player on who won the game for them; Sam jogged alongside the guy in midfield before giving up. He's just not having any effect on games.
