By midfield i assume you mean forward, left mid, centre mid, right mid, left back and right back. Sorry, yes, you are correct. He hasn't played centre back or goalkeeper...

In fact the worst display I’ve seen in a long time. But Owlstalk and Wednesday Twitter know best... You can't say he had been playing well in the games leading up to today. Consistency is key to maintaining progress. We have a squad with many who can perform at top 6 level in this division 'on their day'. Unfortunately most of them have too many off days to maintain that level throughout a season. Last weekend for example it was Bannan on the bench after we had played well the game before - we were poor first half at Millwall and improved when he came on. Perhaps if we went into games, especially away, with a more positive mindset then we might get ore out of our midfield in an attacking sense.

Agree Reach is one of our best players for a variety of reasons and can influence games. He's not been at his best this season but even when he is he neshes more challenges than any gifted player I've seen in a Wednesday shirt. Sorry Petals if some of you don't like this opinion. .

Reach doesn't do that either Not looking for him to be a Hutch but do expect him to challenge for a 50/50. Not jump out the way and allow the opposites to break away. .

shezzas left peg Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 1 hour ago, ohgoditsjames said: Always rated him, just not as a centre mid. It’s criminal that he’s come on and just provided that sublime assist. Should have started, he’s a quality player and we should be making the most of his talent. I mentioned te the other day, for me he needs pairing with one of the quick lads on the opposite wing. We can mix it up then with a different style of player on each side. I like to be tactically flexible and create the opposition different problems going forward For me we go reach & Harris. Then we can rotate or change things up with Murphy & Nando. This way we keep pace on one flank to stretch teams, but we have guile and craft on the other flank from Nando or reach. Makes complete sense to me.

SallyCinnamon Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Just now, hirstyboywonder said: So what is his best position then? He has been playing out of position for ages if that is the case. On the wing. Left or right. Did a job in the middle when we had an injury crisis under Jos. That’s it. The lad has played here, there and everywhere and still has been a consistent performer for the team. Now imagine what he’d be like if we played him week in week out in his best position.

Is pretty much spot on positionally and Creates plenty of chances and can score goals. My point was you cant judge a player for not jumping into tackles when it isn’t his game. Reach gets far too much stick from our fans. I said he was one of our more important players. Not asking for him to jump in to tackles but sure as hell don't want him to jump out of most of them. .

He certainly shouldn't be in a wide position ahead of Harris and when we are playing a 3 Murphy/Forestieri offer a more direct threat. Maybe he should be given a go instead of Murphy but he hasn't played a wide midfield/wing role for a long time and when he did play that position in his early days at Hillsborough he wasn't always convincing.

33 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 So a professional footballer should jump out of most 50/50 balls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 5 minutes ago, 2roland2 said: Lee aside. ( he was poor today but generally good) we have one plan so far under Bullen. Knock long diagonal balls to our wingers. The way we are playing doesn’t suit bannan or reach, and tbf the last three games we have been found out and teams are playing to that. The quality of the players has bailed us out so far but tactically we have it wrong. I tend to agree that our tactics have been wrong and we have been heavily reliant on Fletcher and Harris in an attacking sense. How do you think we should line up and play?

stocksyuto Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) So did bullen make another mistake by benching him? Hes beginning to make them quite frequently if that's the case, it just adds weight to claims hes not.good enough to manage us.

33 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 FWIW I thought Reach had his better contributions when in the mobile deep no 10 role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
