Reach has always struck me as slightly weak mentally and quotes like these don't help. He says “we”, but I’m pretty sure he’s not referring to himself.

He was very elequent in explaining how things were better now, and that they were turning up for training on time. Good lads. and Tom Lees.

Buxtongent Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I think that basically what Reach is trying to say is that the team had got it into their heads that ,after 3 seasons nearly there, last season was going to be a 'shoe-in'. and it wasn't. BUT, and it is a big but, they were not alone in this attitude. It was also the attitude of most of us fans! We all forgot that promotion isn't just given to the ones with the biggest stadium or the noisiest fans, but has to be earned, even ground out. It was my opinion that, the first season, we overachieved, The second very good, but I think we thought ourselves entitled to it. This proved the case.I think we (players AND supporters) thought that the Division owed us automatic promotion.The Championship is proving to be even harder to escape than did Div 1, especially given the compensation payments and lack of FFP from relegated teams. It needs everyone- players and fans - to put everything into every match. I fel that this is what Reach is trying to say.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 But as Pelepussy says “Lord it’s hard to be humble when you’re perfect in every way, whenever I look in the mirror, I get better looking each day, to know me is to love me, I must be a helluva man, oh Lord it’s hard to be humble, but I’m doing the best that I can”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he alludes to other players having the same attitude, hope he's telling porky's and it's just him with a couldn't give a throw. What an absolute idiot.

Speak for yourself, I didn't and I bet the majority of fans didn't, every one knows how hard this league is and the effort you have to put in to get rewards. If you dont think so then you are in the minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socialist_Owl Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) On 17/07/2018 at 03:53, Arcadianrocket said: Any player should go into any game with the mentality to win. If they don't they are mentally weak. I rate Reach when he is on form, running hard at defenders and getting crosses in. Too many times though he is pulling out of challenges etc. He certainly not captain material and a player you can rely on. He is not in the same league as say Westwood, Pudil or Tom Lees at knowing what you will get before the game starts. The Adam Reach we see depends on the first 15 mins of the game IMO Take the L, son. Edited July 19, 2018 by Socialist_Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I was wondering who Rocket was going to obsessively whinge about now that Rhodes has left for the season. At least we now know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I think credit to Reach for being honest enough to admit this publicly, it’s basically a leadership ploy to ensure others in the team take it onboard now. i don’t think anything I’ve read about the debacle that was last season has annoyed me quite as much as this though. Character is everything in sport, it is possible to be confident and humble at the same time, nobody epitomises this in world sport more than the All Blacks. Talent will get you where you want to go but it’s your character that keeps you there. Im confident that Jos has the right personality traits to ensure we are mentally strong, confident and humble.
