I’ve not watched us since Christmas (needed some mental rest). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggoisgod Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I'm not sure what he offers? Reach should be at left wing back imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Reach still holds that role for me, then Palmer or of adubajo when fit but I’m glad he’s getting an opportunity. He’s got a couple of weeks to force that position his own and he did well. Hopefully he grows in confidence next few games what I like is he’s not scared to get forward out a cross in or take a shot abs these for me are his strengths Needs to be much stronger in challenging though but decent performance today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 As said by many, poor against Cov but so was pretty much everyone! I thought he was decent enough today. Some nice crosses and some decent work. Wasn’t a liability that’s for sure! Reach had an off day. I think he’s been decent this season and you can’t underestimate how important it is that he seems to keep injury free and is always available. He does have the look of someone who’s on his way, so it’s important to get more game time for Penney because he’s likely to be needed next season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Reach was truly abysmal today. I’ve said it 100 times, he needs to play on the left. He isn’t a player who can switch flanks. Penney did well today, he showed some good strength on the ball. He lost the ball early on, but got better as the game went on. Btw, I thought Covs RB was excellent the other night til he got injured, tough for Penney. He needs to start taking more responsibility and showing for the ball more. There is a player in there, he is at a real make or break point in his career. He needs some match sharpness, he’s been given his chance, I hope he takes it!

Penny was poor in both games this week but marginally better against Preston. Would fear a better side ripping us to shreds down that side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Yorks Owl Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I think it’s pretty obvious from a financial perspective we need as many of our young development players to make the grade as possible. If NT and his coaching staff remain in charge they’re well positioned to give these players the best chance of succeeding. It also goes without saying we need to be clear about who needs to be retained because there appears to be something missing in this department.

Hack-Abusi Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 What about as a left midfielder/winger? He's absolute dogwater at defending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be our best crossed from set pieces if we alow him to take any as well. His set piece deliveries created numerous goals for both U-23's and U-18's. We won the league final against Hull from his cross from a corner as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how I look forward to a team that doesn’t have Bannan at heart of everything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davetherivelinowl Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Sorry but I thought Penney was as poor as ever on Sat. He might have a sweet left foot but we can't afford to wait game after game for him to make decent use of it. Every now and then he'll produce a decent shot or cross but the rest of his game is really poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he run himself in the ground offering option on overlap and then tracking back back at full speed to support Urhoghide. Also think that he used ball very well considering how often option to pass to wasn't available. Don't forget that we are talking about player who made just his 2'nd start since August playing one of more demanding roles in football. Think he would trive in team playing more possession based football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetherivelinowl Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Interesting. I was scornful of both Reach and Fox in their first few months so maybe I'll be wrong again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
