Dylan93 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 My problem with Reach is his decision making in the final third. He rarely makes that killer pass/cross. He works hard and covers ground, but we need him to be more consistent in those key areas. Too weak for CM - bottles challenges. Ideal LWB, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player who has started just about every game, who constantly looks like the only player who is going to create anything. The only player who constantly looks to go forward. The player whose thought process is 2 seconds in front of other players. The player that must be so far in front in the player of the season stakes they may as well give it him now. If any player in our squad deserves being cut a bit of slack, who may be slightly jaded after playing every game bearing in mind the ground he covers during them, it's him. But no, the "realists" want to destroy him, just like the "realists" offer no positives, just mind numbing negativity to do with everything linked to the club. "Understand football"!!! Yeah right!!! Happy clapper alert. Reach’s thought process is 2 seconds ahead of everyone else? that’s delusion mate. Lucas Joao posses genuinely quality and Reach comes nowhere near him. He runs about a lot while offering very little. Gary Hooper has contributed more than AR this season and he’s hardly played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanningtonowl Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Reach attempted a tackle today. A full bodied foot in type tackle. Came off second best. "Note to self" Don't attempt tackle again"!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute b.llx You need to calm down mate, it is my opinion that Adam Reach is overrated and because he runs around a lot and gets plenty of touches people think he's a decent player. He's very wasteful, he only really contributes when we are in possession and his contribution isn't exactly great. I could forgive his lack of quality if he made up for it by putting himself about, yes you are going to tell me he covers ground, yes, he does but what effect does he have on the game? Literally jumping over a 50/50 today shortly followed by ducking out of a header, he is one of the least committed players I have ever seen in the FL.

He's pretty much the only one trying to make something happen and runs himself into the ground every week. It’s not grief. It’s not his fault he’s crap in the middle. The manager picks him to play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brings alot more to the table than anyone else in our current first team. Head and shoulders our best player. Sam Hutchinson is on the other end of the scale, he's got a superb attitude. Adam Reach is not good enough to float around not making tackles, its like playing with 10 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the 50/50 he jumped out of which led to him winning the ball and setting us on the attack? Also - very wasteful yet only contributes when we’re in possession? Pick a lane.

Not sure why you are confused, he only contributes when we are in possession and his contribution isn't that great, for example he's very wasteful. But yeah people who only watch the ball will think Reach is a good player, thats because he gets plenty of touches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant argue with that, good post. You bringing Gary Hooper into it is very apt too, although Hooper is a goalscorer and links up play he also puts himself about. Compare Reach to FF and the ground FF covers but with an actual purpose, to say we paid more for Reach than FF is f'king hideous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season he played in a team alongside FF, GH BB, KL, SF and a few more yet he still created next to nothing and didn't score for 6 months. When (if) they come back people will start to see just how average he is when put alongside genuine quality. The best thing we could do in the summer is accept a bid for Adam Reach.

Agree, if we can get a couple of Mill then we are laughing. Hopefully there is a team out there who wants a player who does a lot of running without really doing anything. I do get where some of these posters are coming from, if you just watch a game of football without actually watching it then Reach will look decent, all huff and puff. Reach is the most creative player in a god awful team that doesn't create anything, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outstanding work If it's the same one then he didn't win it did he, you don't win a 50/50 by jumping out of the way. He may have come away with the ball but it wasn't through desire it was through luck, it happens sometimes. He's a coward of a player, look at our league position.

Aingarth Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 The truth remains he has been our best player this season. You can put in as many qualifications as you like such as how poor the rest of them are or that he is not worth his transfer fee or salary. Give be the guy a break and some support.
