Tamworthowl Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 From the day he arrived, I've said Reach for the full- (wing-) back role. I'm not so sure now. Too often he back out of a 50:50 challenge. Understandable for a winger. Unacceptable from a defender. I thought Reach was poor on Friday, but I've seen quite a bit of praise for him. I must have a blind spot. So I'd agree with FF wide left, Winnall and Hooper up front, but with Fox at left back. (By the time of the next match Fox will have had three weeks to get up to speed on our style.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD2OWL Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Can't believe I've seen someone say they disagree with OP and that the first goal wasn't his fault leave a player like AK that much space and he's going to punish you. Pudil was marking space, space never scored a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldnt one of them be playing leaving Reach further forward which is supposed to be his normal position. Playing Reach on the left wing isn't working imo. He's not really doing anything. He's not cutting in to allow the left back to go round him and he doesn't run at the fullback either, all a bit easy and safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamK2292 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 His position is safe unless he gets injured. Urby is finished at the club, we can make that clear. No Fox in the 18 since he signed despite featuring for Charlton beforehand so he should be match fit?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazowl55 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Two games in 3 days coming up soon. Be amazed if we don't see Fox start at least one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan93 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 He wasn't that good last season.. LOOK at how many goals we conceded from crossing situations last year where he wasn't tight enough stopping the cross or on back post. The difference to last season is we had more of the ball and attacked so fans didn't really see him get exploited. Give Fox or go. Or even Reach, once Pudil went off Friday, Brighton did sod all.

Hooper, Winnall and Fletch are out and out strikers, which FF isn't. All makes sense in my world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say there was a number of occasions last season, the one that really sticks in my mind is Rotherham at home. Grant Ward who was playing for them at the time had an absolute field day on the right and if memory serves me right the goal came from a ball from Pudils side? The amount of space and time he gives oppositions wingers is crimimal, even Tom Ince at Derby this season was embarassing him every time. Yeah unfortunately for us, any half decent winger turns him inside out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darra Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Think Pudil needs a rest he's played non stop for a season and a half. The play-offs then the euros have taken their toll I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Reach or Fox at Lb and FF at Lw. Needs to happen. Reach at home matches....Fox away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's leggy as hell, still a good solid LB for me and decent getting forward but he badly needs 2-3 weeks off, looks on the verge of collapse some weeks.
