Player Development

S Webber, April 2017: "... this is a club where we don’t own a left back at first team level."
July 2017: Spend £500+ on James Husband
July 2017: Farke so likes Jamal Lewis that he plays every Preseason game until getting injured.
Dec 2017: Lewis returns from injury &, after just 1 reserve match, is thrown straight into the First Team. Husband is dropped & plays just five more times for NCFC.

Had no-one tipped off Webber that we had a first-team ready LB in the reserves?
Did Webber/Weaver watch Lewis & not recognise what he could become?
Did Lewis spend all summer wolfing down steroids?

Answers on a postcard, please.
