shull Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Absolutely scintillating. What an outstanding performance last night. Could have the Player and Young player Awards wrapped up very soon. What length of Contract is he on? Dinnae want him going anywhere. Need to beware of hatchet men trying to do him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munoz Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Got a year to go I think . We need to get him tied up on a Jim McLean contract . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Just last year, he still looked like a wee boy out on the wing. He clearly had talent, but looked some way off the finished article. Since developing his physique, he literally looks like a different player. Very much looking forward to Lewis cementing that left wing berth as his own, and terrorising defences this season. He was outstanding last night, and, critically, his manager acknowledged as much. This is his season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglesham saint Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 the glider, he glides past players so elegantly,he doesn't get knocked off now he's so much stronger he also has the confidence to take men on, if defenders let him turn they are gone fantastic display last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rae said in his interview after that Lewis bulked up last season when he was out injured. It'll be a big test for him this season. There will be word out about him now and plenty of defenders who will look to go through him early in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Banjos Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Worth mentioning that we've got also got Kyle McAllister coming up in that position. Despite being 2 years younger, he looks like he might already be there physically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevo_smfc Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Watched him at Livvy on Saturday and was really impressed with how much he has come on. He was covering more than just the left hand wing. Great wee player who i think if he gets a run in the team this season could be a very valuable asset.

We've now got them in all areas of the pitch, though if Quinn's injury is a bad one, sitting midfield could be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santaponsasaint Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Seen him in u20s the last 2 year and was a stand out at that level. Was chuffed when he gave me his top at the end of the Rangers game at the end of last season. Great talent. New contract needed.Sent from my SM-G900F using Black & White Army mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garf Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Ayr more or less doubled up on him for the whole 2nd half last night, and they still couldn't get near him. Those 2 on the right for Ayr will be having nightmares about Lewis. As good an individual performance from a Saints winger as I've seen in a long time. You could feel the excitement in the crowd every time he got the ball. Excellent. A very exciting prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 He has now changed his name from Lewis to Amazing. So for the rest of the season he is now the Amazing Morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is his season. Last year he was (rarely) in a team of other wee boys stepping up, or trying to, from U20 with the help of Thommo, Goodwin and er Gow. Last year's team had no confidence. This year he's part of an experienced, physical, tall, and fit team. Last year he also looked as if he was expected to do defensive duties as a major part of his role... which don't look to be his strength. Last night when it was clear he had the beating of teh Ayr United team it was clear that we were keen to get the ball on the deck to him and let him run at their defence. I'm sure scoring against The Rangers and Livingston will have boosted his confidence as well as being listed in the starting XI rather than a sub being given 15 minutes to get into a game and do something.

rabuddies Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 The manager made the point that when he was out injured last season he worked very hard in the gym to bulk up and improve his physical presence on the park. Looks like he's impressed with young Lewis and his attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Monkey Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 The other point to make is the benefit that someone like that has on the shape of the rest of the team. He'll pull defenders and midfielders wide, creating space for the likes of Mallan and Gallagher/Walsh on the other side. Allows us to mix up the play, go short or long; hit the channels or ping it down the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garf Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I remember a newspaper report years ago describing Steven McGarry as "Unpindownable" can't think of a better way to describe Lewis' performance last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Calder Saint Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I have taken time on commenting on Lewis and his recent performances.What I have to say is we have a real talent on our hands and the first thing our new Board must do is extend his current contract.At Stenhousemuir he made a real impact when he came on in the second half.At Livingston he had a smashing game.Well last night he was quite simply electrifying.In my over 60years of supporting Saints I don't think I have witnessed a real winger who can dribble with such pace and cross with both feet.I just had to congratulate him after the match and shook his hand and told him he has a big future if he continues to improve and turn in displays like last night.Good luck Lewis you made rather a dull game turn into something special indeed.

Stu Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Had high hopes for him just from the glimpses I saw at the end of 2014/15 and start of 2015/16 but last night he was superb. Rarely lost possession, his runs either ended in a cross, a pass or us getting a free-kick. Once word gets out about him I expect defenders to kick lumps out of him even more than Ayr did last night. Needs a new contract sooner rather than later. Edited July 20, 2016 by Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irvine_buddie Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Signed a contract extension till 2019. Excellent news, has the potential to be a star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Yep just seen that. Great bit of business by the club to get him tied down. If he keeps improving as he has been he'll be gone to a bigger club long before that contract is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
