Only two of our normally solid back five played v Bolton. Result was defensive Chaos. We've spent more than 30 million quid on players, this sort of excuse won't wash anymore.

Reach might be Carlos's first choice left back but wouldn't be mine. Can't tackle, no positional sense. Looks every bit a left winger played out of position. Should be out and out left winger. Left wing back at a push if 3 at the back to cover him. Ask Phil Parkinson and Ameobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of clubs he's managed are irrelevant, especially in the places he's managed. The lengths some "fans" go to in order to prove their point is ridiculous. Has anybody found a pic of him in a red and white striped shirt and laughing with Wilder yet? If you were interviewing for a manager at your place of work, you would find the applicant's CV entirely relevant or why ask for it? But apparently it's not relevant for the club you love. Weird logic... Edited October 16, 2017 by Almat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also looking what is out there and who is possbly available, not pie in the sky appointments. Getting rid of our most successful manager in nigh on 30yrs for bang average same old managers on the merry go round is utter madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did, but he hasn't lost all of the fans. He's probably lost half of us at the most, of which 10% are a vocal (idiotic) minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Phil Parkinson and Ameobe Whilst we are asking people, can we ask Bannan why he offered no coverage to the left-back and often left him to play against 2? Reach was the only player to out of Saturday with some credit, yet, because he cost a bob or two, simpletons just use it as a stick to needlessly beat him with.

Big Ron's Sovereign Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 The cost of players is always a strange one. Reach is always one that gets mentioned when we're seen to have squandered money. Yet they conveniently forget the fees for Forestieri, Hooper, Winnall etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason Pudil didn't play on Saturday was because the manager didn't pick him so you can hardly use that as a defence of him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be clear, Reach is an excellent player who always gives 100%. He's just not a left full back in a back 4. Ability to tackle is essential. Play him as a wing back in a 3-5-2 or left midfield in the 4-4-2 we usually play and he will shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so depressing that he's going to be allowed to continue to serve up more drivel. We've got an expensive squad on paper, a luxury that no manager has had at SWFC in my lifetime. The spending has stopped because we're at the boundary of FFP. I don't know how long this is going to last but I can't help feeling that we are wasting an amazing opportunity on a man who has consistently showed he isn't capable of achieving our goals.

Thats because he's usually played out of his best position. Earlier this season he played left back, right midfield and left midfield in the same game. No other player is ever asked to do that. He's also been used as a striker. Give the boy game time left wing position that suits him. Carlos is moving him around to keep Bannan, Lee Wallace and Jones in midfield. The last two do not deserve automatic selection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
