       Not overly impressed with Andy Davies’ first game back. Felt his
       awarding of free kicks was very inconsistent throughout. He did
       however managed timewasting/delaying the restart very fairly,
       perhaps too lenient if anything with 2 and 5 minutes added on.

       Crewe may have had cause to be happy with Lewis, but I have it
       on good authority (from a Crewe fan) that he was very
       inconsistent with his foul detection. And at the end, the 4O did
       not apparently hold up a board to say how many additional
       minutes of time were going to be added on. And don't you know
       it, Crewe equalised after 90+10 which, perhaps unsurprisingly,
       led to the Wimbledon bench becoming enraged. Sounds like it
       wasn't a good day at the office for one of our better prospects.

       I am interested to read these comments as I felt he was
       similarly inconsistent in a recent EFL Cup tie. Awaiting with
       interest the comments on his future performances.

       I was there and yes, he had a poor game tbh. Foul detection was
       random as there was several times he gave a foul for one and
       then the same foul not for the other. With the additional time,
       a Wimbledon player went down in the 88th min. The 4O put up the
       board for the substitution on the 90th minute but then no one
       came off/on so Lewis went over and was talking for about 3 mins
       with Crewe fans shouting "BOOOOOOO" and "You're not fit to
       referee". Play continues in the 93rd minute with no indication
       to how much extra time there was. I presumed around 10 as that
       stoppage was 5 mins with several subs/goal/fouls commencing.
       Then, the AR2 disallowed a goal for offside to which I was
       confused at because Long was in front of the defender(on the
       goal line) and there was no obstruction to the keeper. Luckily,
       Crewe got the equaliser and the fans (including me) could go
       home somewhat happy. Looking forward to more posts about Lewis,
       as today was most certainly not his best. Considering when I saw
       him last Feb, and had a champ game, his performance was below
       standards.
