I just wonder if the ball should be played into feet for lennie to run onto , he has strength to shield the ball when required. It has probably been mentioned before ................. ]Remember its just my opinion  ..... It might not be true ............

PH has also alluded to using Lenny in this way, so I hope it's a foretaste of even better times to come.  Lenny getting the ball into his feet, bringing others into play, and getting into the box to fling himself at decent crosses, is a handful for any defence.

I am an LJL fan and just hope his current upturn in form ie goals continues to the match the rest of his play, he is a crucial player for is.

Lennie's goal against Alfreton now I come to think of it came from a Lester like surging run. Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Would love to see him be our cult hero , like Livo or Lester .

I would be interested to see how many times LJL has been caught offside compared to RH , could it be that LJL could play the role that RH so nearly does well ? ]Remember its just my opinion  .....
