owls79 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Yes I know this has been done before but I’m astounded nobody has brought his performance up tonight. Fair enough they say he helps defence and does a lot of tracking back but as an attacking option I’m sorry to say he was shocking. I can’t remember 1 cross he actually put into there area.

BRADDO Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 He's off the boil this season. Very ordinary at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 He can’t carry the ball on the right with his right foot to save his life. Put him on the left and his weekly average of 5/10 might creep up to a 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastSleepingGiant Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Disgusting performance. Takes fault in the build up for the goal as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evaowl Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 He is a left sided wing-back/wide midfielder for me but he doesn’t want to play there. He is played on the right to cut in on his left but other teams have sussed him out so stop him coming inside. He is such a snowflake in the tackle and 50/50s that he is a liability in games when we are under a bit of pressure. Fortunately for him he is competing with Murphy for a starting place, and Murphy is a bigger “girl’s blouse” than him. There is a player there but he needs an Allardyce kind of manager to kick him into shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S63 Owl Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Struggles to play in a front 3, Murphy or Fessi would’ve offered more going forward. I get why managers like a player like Reach who can put the running in but when he puts in performances like that tonight it’s a waste of a shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 You have to wonder about Reach. Not good enough for boro, Preston didn’t take up the option of signing him. Then factor in the fiasco of being unable to figure out what his best position is. He’s a utility player who really should be on the bench 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S63 Owl Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Also very frustrating how he rarely wins or even challenges for header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelerian Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Remember 3 years ago when we were talking about a possible 15m for Fessi? And now we'd struggle to get 1.5m? Well this summer we were talking about a possible 10m for Reach? Let's get him sold before his value drops to 1m. Wednesday need to learn when to sell.

gurujuan Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 There were some wide open spaces for him to run into, but he doesn’t have a football brain Constantly takes the easy way Would like to have seen him replaced by a Forestieri, because he would have exploited those spaces Cardiff left us room all night to attack those areas, but only Forestieri has the intelligence to do that. We were much tighter generally, but when fatty came on, he started causing us problems between the lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criminal Exactly, he’s done it all season. For a player who’s a decent height who has bulked out over the summer theirs no way he should jump/“challenge” for headers how he does.

We’ve got too many players who are afraid of getting stuck in, or getting hurt. You see it with Dawson. He absolutely never comes out to claims crosses, unless there’s no opposition in his path and it’s straight down his throat. Is he he scared of getting clattered? He’s a bloody keeper FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s6 owl Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 He should have been sold a long time ago we'll never achieve anything while ever we have players like Adam Reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 He’s poor, living off a few worldies last year. Any offer that came in should have been snapped up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 We have a soft underbelly and Adam Reach is the opitimy of that. He’s been poor for a while now but Murphy is trying to get a game so he’s managed to stay in the side. For me I’d be looking to try Fraser Preston out in the front three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
