Although I must admit I enjoyed it when he maradonna’d their full back towards the end. Reach is made for wing back. Why are people desperate for the worst tackler in the team to be a wing back.

Morepork Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 He did well yesterday, he isn't in our future though, at least he shouldn't be. Squad player, harshly treated and to be fair he must have some reasonable mental strength because he's been through the wringer this season.

I beg to differ, was constantly caught out of position and didnt read a lot of the balls, never seen him really beat a man and his delivery was poor again. We need two full backs simple as that ...priority for me. Edited April 1, 2018 by TaxiMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppers Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 He is the weakest link. Misses tackles, makes poor passes. Typically goals stem from one of his errors, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree, 1st choice fullbacks are the number one priority, in the modern game it's arguably one of the most important positions and we've been ineffectual offensively and defensively with ours baring the odd good game from our current choices.

Still cannot get my head around the fact we have needed two decent full backs for over 2 years now and we still have fox and palmer playing games.

Andrew_Owl Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Would prefer to have Reach in that wing back position, would get the best from him and would free up a space for FF in attacking midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this system the wing backs see so much of the ball and Fox is extremely limited with it - he’s not the best defender in the world either. Depends how Jos sets us up though, if it’s going to be negative then play Fox but if we want to go out and attack teams then it really should be Reach.

Guest Xxxxxxxxcxcc Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Not the best so far it has to be said but I actually thought there were signs of improvement on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we switch formation at this point? I think Jos told them to abandon the 9-0-1 formation and go 3-5-2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Tbh I’ve never really minded him, he’s practically a god compared to the Boyd’s and Butterfield’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 he's the best left back we have .reach cant defend , pudil hasn't the legs to play the wing back role , boyd aint a full back and penney cant get a game in league 2 so probably isn't the answer, thorniley played some games at left back for Accrington but hasn't had a look in here in that position . ........if as we think that money is going to be tight this summer then unless we can get someone better on a free or maybe a loan it's probable that he'll be getting plenty of game time next season.

York_Owl Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I’d like to see Reach play left wing back before the end of the season to see whether that really is a valid option for us next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it in his face when he's attacking with the ball he's thinking too much about what he's doing, then by the time he's worked it out the opportunitys gone. Yeah, I noticed when he did get forward once and Pudil had bust a gut on the outside and was begging for a simple pass so he could cross it in as there was nobody near but he ignored him and passed to Hutch who had a ‘shot’. He was very error prone in the first half too, sometimes when not even under any pressure. I feel a bit bit sorry for him. He gets a lot of negativity aimed his way but it’s not his fault we bought him! It’s pretty obvious Jos isn’t a fan either, or we wouldn’t have tried to sign that left back around the Pelupessy purchase. He won’t be here next season and I’d wish him well when he gets offloaded. He always tries hard, he’s just simply not a Championship player, in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob1601 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Fox always seems knackered after an hour or so. His lack of stamina causes problems as well as him not being Championship standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyd is not a wing back; and regrettedly Fox doesn't hold up well on that front either... As before, for a promotion push campaign we need 2 new reliable wing backs.
