crookesowl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Delighted to see him back on the pitch tonight - thought he really added some composure on the ball and an extra dimension going forward. He could be the difference this season. Question is where do you put him and who do you drop? Or do you leave him as a sub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuttyTeabags Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Play him right of a 3 vs Leeds, Harris on other side. Reach will slot into Luongo role to give us more legs in MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Owl 2 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I think Monk will keep him as a sub for now but start him if the performances are there. Long way to go for the whole squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Thought he came on in the right position tonight - and showed a bit of what we’ve needed in a few games Cant wait to see more of him...but more bench time first. Reach was better tonight*and his industry is important to the way we play (*only saw second 45m) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I’m a big fan of Reach, and no fan of FF, but I’d actually swap them round on Saturday. Give FF a start and make him prove a point. Thought Reach had a poor game tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I feel like with FF the opponents know he’s a threat... even if we haven’t seen the best of him for a while. I think he’ll stay as sub, but he didn’t look too rusty, so that’s good... he did a couple of decent bits with Bannan like old times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) The thing is currently FF has fire in his belly, you want to make the most out of it whilst it's still positive. Some of his touches today were sublime, and the run where he was hacked down was down right belligerent, and right at them - he was strong, direct and not stopping unless fouled.

Womble Owl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 He has to start for me. He looks fired up and he just offers so much that nobody else in the squad has. I've no idea who he replaces, and don't care, that's the managers job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S63 Owl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 For me he’s got a lot to make up for and a point to prove. May sound harsh but the guy really needs to knuckle down and show a positive attitude for rest of his time here now. His cameo tonight was a good start and seemed to offer an instant threat but let’s see if this can now be built upon and get him back to the player we know he can be.

For me, and obviously i'm no manager - you drop Reach, move Harris to his natural side and put FF on the left. Take no poo and tell him he plays there or doesn't play at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beholder Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I didnt rate him tonight apart from that run and win of a free kick. He was trying to be too fancy Dan. Then again, that kind of play can sometimes create a chance but when it doesn't it's frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mus Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I wouldn't play him, I think his body language says he doesn't care tbh. Time to go, had many chances and not done anything for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzieowl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Needs be in a free role behind Fletch. Did well tonite. Think Reach been poor last few games. Tbf hes not been that great all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Can’t see Monk going with FF and Harris in this formation too often - if ever. He’s too pragmatic. More likely we’ll see more of FF in a 4-4-1-1 or Harris and FF fighting it out for the left hand side role like Tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was promising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Apart from his first few minutes when he did careless flicks I thought he was superb. We were under the cosh and he got on the ball and kept it. Worked really well with Bannan and Fox. Monk made the right call. Harris was out on his feet and Reach’s stamina and running ability proved essential in the last 20 minutes. Definitely wouldnt start FF v Leeds. But love to see him replace Reach or probably Harris after 60ish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesowl Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Personally I think you play two of Harris Reach and FF depending on fitness and opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
