One of the most under-rated Hibs players of all time along with Paul Hanlon. I admire both unconditionally for the attitude and honesty that they bring to our play.

Hanlon often wrongly gets accused of not being brave/physical enough on here, but I was glad to see him assert himself like he did in that situation.

Pains me that we had McGivern giving away goals nearly every week and generally playing horrendously in our run in last season whilst Lewis sat it out. Admittedly he wasn't playing like this last season, however it just shows how much more Stubbs gets out of players than that last clown.
Easy to forget that Lewis broke through as a centre midfielder and has had to completely change his game so many times due to being shunted around everywhere. Deserves credit for that alone

Lets not get too carried away here, phrases like found a new level and consistent performer i agree are absolutely correct. He is a consistent performer in the Championship, he has found a new level, in the Championship. I believe that this his level.
Anybody can batter in 100 crosses and get a few assists of them, his first 4 or 5 crosses last night were pathetic and this has been the story throughout his career at a higher lever, this is the Championship. But lets not start hyping up a very average player for the last 7 years. With the emergence of what will be a really good player in Scott Allan i hope Lewis Stevenson sees far less of the ball as we will get many more assists and goals from Allan. The ball goes through Stevenson far too much for us to be truely effective at a higher level.
Great engine, brilliant fitness and desire with an obvious real love for Hibs, but massively limited footballer who is having a good start to the season in which most of us have been distraught with until recently

So your defence is bringing up that he's been one of our top performers for years?

Well done, i was enjoying reading this post full of positive vibes about Lewis and his contribution to last nights game.
All you have done here is go back in time and state rather obvious things from other postings.
Why cant you just be happy that he IS playing so well in a position that is not his best!! He has given everything to the jersey why cant you let him have a bit of the praise he deserves without spoiling it for Him.
Ok so he is playing in the championship and so is Scott Allan? You are seeing him playing well in this division too are you not? What makes you so sure he would be a top player in the higher division.? He didnt quite hit it off with DU in the premier league or when he went down south either? Like you i think he is a good player for us in this league!
But this posting is about Lewis and how he is playing NOW and in this league, let him have the praise! You never know he and the others Allan included may come on better with praise when its due!!

Rubbish, i have experience of sitting watching absolute garbage and paying £405 for the privilege for the last 5'ish years.. if you dont agree its fine but dont start writing nonsense. History over 7 years proves he is nothing more than average, Scott Allan has a few years to prove that still but i never have seen Stevenson drift past 5 or 6 in tight midfield with confident ease on more than a few occasions now or in the last 7 years.
Let me state again i have a lot of admiration for someone who gives us 110%, never shirks any task given him and obviously loves Hibs...but he just an average player who is doing well in the championship so far for 9 games..Joe Cardle is playing in the SPL

Stevenson has developed as a player massively in the last few seasons. I think he's a genuinely good footballer and IMHO is one of the first names on the team sheet. He's been a joy to watch for a while now.

I remember last season when most were hiding on the pitch Stevenson more times than not was Mr Dependable but for some reason, he was continually dropped - after getting a goal and a few assists in the games beforehand too! He plays the LB position very well and generally puts in a good shift wherever he's deployed. Lewis is an asset to the team.

Only disappointment for me was that he didn't take a penalty.
As one of our most experienced players he should have been higher up the order than 9th or 10th.
Over the 120 minutes he was very good though but that's not a suprise, it's what I've come to expect from him. He's a good player.

No problem with him not taking one sooner.

Think of the last few years and some of the great results we've achieved - putting three past Sevco at Ibrox more than once, beating Celtic at ER, winning a derby in front of a sold our ER. Think of all the managers we've had. Think of some of the players we've disposed of - Palsson, Vaz Te, Eoin Doyle etc. Think of some decent cup runs.
The poor players have been ditched, the backrooom staff has changed and the team on the field has changed.
Lewie has been one constant through good times and bad, and there's a number of very good reasons why no manager would get rid of him.
