What sides targeted him? He really didn't get targeted defensively. Other side's let him have the ball because he rarely done anything with it but he never, ever got torn to bits defensively.

He is back up now, no doubt. He is not suddenly Pa Kujabi. Quality player for this club for near 15 years.

I'm not saying he's not quality - but he was definitely targeted by sides as our weak link. Both full back areas were

I don't see how Stevenson gets a look in if he keeps this level of performance up. Still raw and areas of his game need work but excellent to see.

At the moment for me Doig is number one on current displays. But he is still 18 and growing as a player. If anything we're supremely lucky to have someone like Lewis able and waiting to come in if he ever finds himself knackered or has a poor few games and needs taken out the firing line and also to hopefully guide him as a player.

Hearts were only willing to offer him a second part time contract and that’s when we stepped in and gave him a full time.

Stevenson will still have a big part to play this season.

Doig is doing brilliantly but we are only three games into the season

Levein is a genius.

To be fair, they do have Hickey, who will no doubt be at Hearts for years to come and will probably become captain.

Every young player should look to learn from Lewis, and a left back certainly should. A model pro.

Absolutely. Lewis is getting on, despite his fitness probably being similar to what it was 10 years ago, but he'll know that he's nearing the stage of his career where he'll need to start to play back up to someone who will finally replace him and as I said previously we're lucky to have someone like him who will do that and give us 110% every time and not throw the toys out the pram.

This. Lewis is the kind of guy who, while he won't be happy at being backup, he'll help the young lad and when called upon put everything in.

Why did Hearts let him go? Did he have an injury that was going to cost them money to repair?

I said on another thread that he couldn't kick the ball high enough for the maroon balloons to want him.....

Indeed, the antithesis of what's required in a Hearts player......

[Forza Fred]

No doubt his inexperience will lead to a couple of inconsistent performances...something that happens with nearly every Young player breaking through, but on his performances so far, I think he’ll be in the starting eleven more than he’s out of it this season.

We’re used to Lewis being an automatic choice at left back, but he certainly has reached the stage in his career where he is up against strong competition.

[PeeJay]

Thought the young lad had a good game yesterday evening - lots of energy, combined with the attitude and confidence of youth. He was willing to try things out and he is great going forward - will be interesting to see how he stands up when up dealing with better opposition coming at us - looks like a great prospect.

I love how he is comfortable cutting onto his right foot. Difficult to defend when he can go both ways

Good interview with Josh in the digital match day programme today. Worth a read. Laddie seems to have his head screwed on the right way. Exciting potential and it will be fun watching him develop into a great player for us.

Really mature interview - its hard to believe he is just 18 years old.

Great to see the acknowledgement of LS contribution to his development.
