Weshallovercome Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 On 14/02/2019 at 08:09, Holmowl said: Let this sink in. We have scored 37 goals in 36 matches this season in all comps. Reach has 7 goals and 4 assists in a team with an utterly dismal goal-scoring record. Compare his contribution to Bannan, Hutch, Pellupessy, Forestieri, Matias, Onomah. PUT TOGETHER. He has missed one game. He gives his all. He’s being moved around positions and just gets on with it. He is a winger. When Bruce sorts our team out Reach should be LW with in-game switches to RW for spells. But our fans should open their eyes and see what you have in front of you. Just out of interest, how many goals and assists are when playing centrally? Mainly because I think he gets more involved played in the middle, out wide he becomes a peripheral figure, especially as we're playing so poorly.

Hard to tell, cos we have moved players around during games a few times, but at a glance, all 6 league goals came when playing in the middle. But 3 of his 4 assists are from playing wide. Makes sense really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another shocker from him tonight but i guess because he's scored a few crackers that makes him untouchable... Dont think he was the worst on the night. Dont think we have anything going forward generally. However said sincee the day i first saw him play hs average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farlego Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 He might not be the quickest of players but whenever I have seen him play on the left he appears to have a knack to get good crosses in from tight situations hooking the ball round the defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping if Bruce ever gets a couple of speedy wingers in Reach can play in the centre again, for me his best performances have been there.

Birley Owl 1867 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Reach suffers from the fact that he is very versatile. He's good enough in a number of positions (LB, CM, LM) but he's not a star in any and we can easily do better in all 3 positions than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendoddsdadsdogsdead Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The simple fact is, and it pains me to say so, is that he is apart possibly from Joao, someone who can actually get the ball and run at players. He gets a fair amount of criticism, unfairly in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Yesterday takes him to 5 assists and 7 goals this season. That’s 12 of our 39 goals. Add to that his many near-misses, like yesterday’s hit post. Most effective and important forward we have by miles and miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media have banged on about his goals a bit but anyone that watches regularly do realise he's no £5m player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofbert2 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Best player by miles in the last two seasons wherever he starts. Some of our fans are reyt thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbear05 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Reach has been great in a few games this season but really poor in a lot more. I think we’d get the best out of him with much better players around him. He isn’t good enough to drag us up but his goals and assists this season have been really valuable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronio Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I like Reach. We would be a lot worse without him for sure. I do think though, we should stop moving him around so much. Left back, left wing, centre midfield and now right wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s6 owl Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Nuhiu carried us more than Reach did last season and he's garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true now is it, a 12-14 match cameo doesn't equate to a player you can rely on week in week out now does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i say Nuhiu is mainly garbage but for 5 months he was the best striker in the league while playing in a terrible team and without his goals and assists we would have gone down.

Hack-Abusi Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Its always baffled me why he's put in a midfield three or as a CDM .. Needs the ball out wide and to put crosses in ... but we don't play a 4-4-2 or a wide midfielder .. we play 3 all tucking in Bannan is another who has been dogeggs this season ..

WalthamOwl Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Still maintain that he is one of our best players and probably the only player this season that has provided moments of excitement with a couple of stunning goals. Provided the assist on Saturday and also the assist for Joao to score the winner against Ipswich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did he did that cross out tonight for Fletcher? Assuming it must have been a Rabona considering he was on his right and didn't cut back?
