We've already seen in one game that this system allows Lewis to show that he is much more that a "heart on his sleeve" and "body on the line" sort of defender.
He has every chance to force his way back into the England reckoning.
Longer as Flatts played wide. But I agree with the point you're making. For as long as I can remember the orthodox thinking has been that having a target man / back post no9 is the only strategy to get goals. It's hugely refreshing to see something different.
