Definitely neshes too many tackles though. Our 50/50 tackle winning rate must be disgusting. Reach neshes 80/20 tackles in his favour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlyegg Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Thought he were ok, felt a bit sorry for him, trying to put an absolute pin point cross onto our lone strikers head who was surrounded by 4 wolves players....at the same time having to beat 3 wolves defenders to get a cross over in the first place.

The fact that he is heralded by some as some kind of saviour and undroppable by Carlos is beyond me Total foo kin nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPPS_S.W.F.C Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 4 5 6 million whatever we paid for him he's a try'er runs his legs off,but got no bottle,rather pass back then take a player on,1 on 1 he plays safe instead of having a go at them when in last 3rd of pitch....

TheRock Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Reckon Reach has been one of our better performers this season, that ain't saying much, but far from the first who should be getting some flack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls2k Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Someone has geniunely watched that match and thought, 'I need to start a topic about Reach on Owlstalk'. He had a rocky start to the season (while he was being sold down the river at left back), but since he has easily been one of our top performers along with Bannan and Hooper.

Lad probably doesn’t know his ass from his elbow The fact is, the lad has the potential to be a brilliant left winger.... I don’t care what anyone says, at times he can be dangerous. His career is slowly being ruined just like others around him. Disagree. He is a bottler and a coward who is stealing a living. If he was a great left winger he would show that at some stage. Not constantly bottle crossing from wide areas and passing ball back 5 yards instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I can see why we bought him. He’s quite tall, decent left foot, works hard, still young... However, if the team aren’t being very creative (and are told pass to pass back/inside all the time what can he do). He does need more shots / goals / assists but no one is getting many of those in this rigid system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put in a peach of a cross last week that Rhodes buried, and again tonight to Hooper at the back post that should have been a tap in for someone in the 6 yard box. Reach was our only genuine wide threat in that second half, which made it all the more bizarre that Carlos brought him in the middle towards the end, it completely killed that threat and left Fox all at sea.

Steve Down South Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Reach - I wish we had a couple more like him. With Forestieri out, he and Hooper are really the only ones offering any creativity (plus Bannan on occasions). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReginaldD Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Problem with Reach is everyone is judging him based on him being 'A 5m pound player'. He didn't decide how much Middlesbrough valued him, take the figure out of the equation and he ain't a bad player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
