shezzas left peg Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) I'm wondering weather its a confidence thing or becouse we're playing in cm,but seemed to stop having those long range cracks on goal once Bruce took over and while bully has been in charge.? I'm hoping monk decides to start playing him wide left, with Harris on the right at the start of games. Hopefully meaning both him and Harris would come inside more and support Fletcher leaving him less isolated. Then we'd have the other added point of allowing them to swap wings if things weren't happening or being a bit less effective, by swapping over during the game. This would hopefully give opposition fullbacks something different to adjust to if they're cutting inside instead of staying wide. Fingers crossed Reach would also rediscover find his long range shooting boots, doing a Wallace and driving inside and having a crack from range when on the right.

Guest wilyfox Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Monk needs more from Reach & Murphy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hooper Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 People are more aware of him now. He gets closed down as soon as he has the ball on the edge of the box, comes with territory unfortunately. His goals were broadcast everywhere last season, so every team is aware of what he can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to find best role for Reach and stick to it Think Murphy might prove to be a 'showboater', can look really good but not sure if he'll do the 'hard yards' and chase back like Harris will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky belly Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Reach is a left winger. He’s not strong enough physically or defensively to play anywhere else for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Reach is not a midfielder. Looks lost in most games when played there. Get him back out wide swinging balls into the box and cutting inside to unleash a shot at goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked the idea of wingers swapping flanks during games. Watching Harry Catterick’s Owls as a kid I saw it employed successfully with Finney and Wilkinson(D). They used to swap sides after about 20 minutes. Kept the opposite full backs guessing. Don’t see why it wouldn’t work today with the wingers we now have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 He still shoots from range, but most of them go nowhere near the target so nobody remembers them. That purple patch he had with them last season made people think that he can score them all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox & Palmer have done no wrong. Börner looks good also. There are big players like Reach, Bannan, and I'd regard Murphy one as well. Those three can do more. Monk needs to see some life from Rhodes or Winnall. Fletcher needs help up top. I want to see more of Luongo. More Forestieri frustration for the time being.

Mr. Chow Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 After all he is a winger. We spent a lot of money on him and playing him in the wrong position is certainly a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not old enough to remember those guys, but do remember villa doing it with young & downing under Martin O'Niel. Opposition defences found it a nightmare to deal with.

Maybe becouse he'd being playing more central he's more straight on at goal, Most of those that he cracked in last season came from just inside the right hand corner of the 18 yard box ifi remember rightly. That's probably why I'm thinking he's better curling them far post from a similar position that Wallace used to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he seems a bit slow at turning to track fast wingers from what I remember Reach and Harris on the wings for me, tucking in to help fletch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAL Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 He has had at least one this season. Just turned and hit it, it dipped just over the bar onto the netting. It would have been another reyt goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Not sure teams can afford to play out and out wingers anymore, the pure width normally comes from the wingback with the wide forward player playing more narrow and becoming a goal threat. A great example of this is Sterling at Man City, used to be classed as a winger but now plays right across the front line just pulling wide when needed. Reach should really thrive in that sort of role as it would give him the freedom to unleash his powerful shots, although he would need to get in the box more and improve his finishing.
