Absolutely, seems like that could well be the best position for him. Think he’d be wasted anywhere else now. Not going to be easy for him to keep his place in that position but I guess that’s a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to remember although he will presumably be watching videos of past matches he won’t know the returning players like Carlos did. To some extent they will have to prove themselves again. Issues like keeping Reach in central midfield at the expense of a past regular will be difficult choice for him. Reach is doing a good job for him. Another one is Pelupessy. The only signing Jos has made. Interesting he was paired with Hutch, Jos might see a future in that pairing, whereas at the moment not many fans would see him as part of our best eleven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives Bannan/Reach more freedom further forward to start attacks and press from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TouchIsGolden Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Sorry if the pope is dead but are these rumours of Lee been done for good substantiated? If this is true then Carlos is squarely at fault for his handling of Lee's injury, out for months then plays him for 90 minutes on the Saturday then 90 minutes on the Tuesday, if this has cost Lee his career this really is appalling.

Not sure if that's a few weeks from training or playing though. the interview what Hutchinson gave on Saturday should tell you why k lee had to have 2nd op and all our other injuries, carlos when he was here let players train for 2 days and they were back in team,then out soon after after been rushed back. players now have to train 2-3-4 weeks before they are anywhere near the team, I know what carlos did with k lee ,and not from some rumour , he was rushed back as his recovery was taking longer than he liked ,he was sent to Coventry for an injection so he could resume training almost straight away then was pushed back into the 1st team ,it was a stupid gamble which has misfired badly , if only we had an owner what knew what he was doing then surely carlos would have gone a long time ago and we wouldn't have had a season like we have had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueOwl Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Reach is best in a free-role, is that because he has the positional discipline and defensive instincts of a stray cat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 16 hours ago, joelswfc said: Really hope we don’t have to resort to playing Reach wide, especially as a wingback with no cover. The lad can’t tackle. Has to be priority position in the Summer and we can work our whereabouts Reach is best after that. Hmm. Still think his best role is wing back even if he isn't the strongest tackler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that's a few weeks from training or playing though. Its clear from the Hutch interview on Saturday that we're not going to take any risk and ensure players are 100% before picking them. Seems very sensible. When everyone is back we've got a strong looking team I reckon: Westwood Venancio Lees Van Aken Hunt Reach Lee Hutchinson Bannan Hooper Forestieri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However i doubt Jos will ever play Reach as a wing-back. I imagine Reach will have to fight for one of the central-midfield spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudil could play left of the 3 at the back as he’s played well there recently. However, Van Aken may be more suited to playing in a back 3 where he can bring the ball out of the back. Totally agree with Reach at left wing back - he’d be a revelation in that role. You need players in that position who can get up and down that flank all day - he would definitely do that.

Sultan_Pepper Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Agree with the formations above but mystifying isn't it that after 3 years and a fortune spent and we've still not managed to improve on Gray's midfield pair of Lee and Hutchinson and they were signed as injured cover for centre half and a right back.
