Dennon Lewis signs on loan

Listed as a midfielder on the Watford official site i'm glad the Obby is continuing its excellent reporting

Don't get your hopes up about this signing. I'm a Woking supporter and had the privilege of watching Lewis last season. Started the season off very well considering our poor form, scored some decent goals. However, as the season went on, Lewis's form dipped. It looked like he was worn out half the time, couldn't handle the physicality. Hardly ever seemed to play within the last few months. Has a couple of good attributes though. He's fast and good in one and one situations. I wouldn't expect fireworks from him and I highly doubt his loan will be extended.


- scored a decent goal vs Torquay (7:38)

If he was playing right back when an attacking Midfielder i'm not surprised they don't rate him lets give him the benefit of the doubt i say

Another gamble. if terms loan are Watford foot most or all bills then ok but six months untested is a gamble i say we cant afford.

Isn't EVERY signing a gamble...?

Any player might actually be taking a pretty big gamble joining us, we are not the most attractive option for an aspiring player.... get real, we finished last season in the wrong end of League 2...  we are not going to get Diego Costa at centre-forward with Suarez and Coutinho behind him... we are always going to cross our fingers whenever we sign anyone, but actually so are those big-spending clubs splashing their millions about...!

That may actually be a fair and accurate point RR&R, whereas I felt dismissing the signing of DL as "another gamble" wasn't.. I'm sure that our resources are limited. In this instance I expect it was based on HKs knowledge of the lad at Watford just as we probably signed the lad from Newport on Feeney's recommendation.

However, as a counter-point... If you look at matters objectively, I'd say the players we have "scouted" have been more successful than the ones who were previously known to our management, Collins & Enzio versus Davey & Arthur... no contest..!
