Looks like he’s just playing out his contract now. Bet he can’t wait to get out. The encouraging spell being the games he played on the left 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, 3, 4 years he's been here. They've all thrown him all over the park. Must be approaching 200 games. I'll bet the ones on the left have barely made it into double figures. How many other clubs would spend that large-a-fee on a player who's clearly a left winger and mess about with them like us. It's enough to make a cat laugh.

Holmowl Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 He’s going to leave in May. He’s going to join a good Championship club. Theyll play him in the following positions:- LW LW LW LW LW.......... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_wells Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) It's this weird thing with the absence of Shaw leading to Adam Reach playing central midfield. Happens every time. As if we don't have literally anyone else with an ability to run around. Give the role to FDB, Hunt, Windass - bloody anyone. Just don't stick Reach in there and expect anything good to happen. Crap every time. He's a winger, or if playing wing backs, play him as a wing back. He's a really decent wide player. Nothing else. Sorry, but its bloody awful management from Thompson.

Sure that when he leaves on a free the new club will have signed him to play wide left. Not a centre mid ,not a right sided midfielder, not a centre forward , not a 10 , just plain and simple wide left. Pity manager after manager here has never worked that out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emilianenko Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 He’s also been poor at left wing and left wing back. Stop making excuses for him. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maldino2004 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 It really doesn’t matter what position Reach plays in, he always bottles tackles. What also infuriates me is the amount of times once in possession he’s looking to play the ball backwards, he has the ability to play the give and go but very rarely does he use it. Also if you watch Reach closely it’s amazing how often in a game he gives away possession cheaply. Reach will occasionally put in a decent cross and will occasionally score a cracker from outside of the box but for me his indiscretions far outweigh his positives. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reach has been forced into every role apart from goalie. It has been a criminal waste of his talent and not beneficial to results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mancowl08 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Read this whole thread and I can’t believe people stick up for him. He’s awful. We all know his weaknesses, but I personally can’t stand it when he’s in an attacking position out on the wing and doesn’t go for it. He constantly checks back and takes the easy option. that’s my issue with him, no desire to take a risk, so easy to defend against. He’s been poor for years now, not just months, can’t wait till he’s gone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kew Owl Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 He’s not what you want when you’re in a relegation fight and you need characters that will battle and scrap for the whole 90 minutes. Reach has a habit of going missing in action too many times for my liking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markg Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 We are in a mess, results nosediving. I'd keep it simple and try Reach on the left wing and Harris on the right. Rhodes and Patterson up front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
