Kanye West Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Reach won't struggle getting into any championship team. Time and time again he's produced on the left but managers insist on putting square pegs in round holes and playing him CM. He's wasted his career here, he should've gone when Southampton were rumored to be in for him, he'd have settled in the prem. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll look back on his time here as a mistake. Being misused by almost every manager, being asked to play almost every outfield position, being underrated by his own fans who hero worship Bannan who averages less assists per 90 mins despite taking all the set pieces. Bit like Fox? Read something on Twitter the other day from Stoke fans mainly about Fletcher. They couldn't believe they'd got them both as free transfers.

Despite Reach being shifted from pillar to post he still averages more assists than any other player per 90mins of play. He’s scored more than any midfielders since he came here too. If he took the free kicks and corners maybe we’d hero worship him instead of captain combover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see him produce at his next club and likely earn a transfer that will surprise many on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shezzas left peg Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Here's a different angle, when bazza along with all the quality crocks where on the golf course injured under jos. Adam reach was a totally different player. He created things, got involved far more and was our focal point which attacks came through more often than not. He raised his game. I'm looking at it and coming to the conclusion even playing in his preferred role wide left he just dosent take any responsibility or apply himself enough when bazza is playing. His best spell in all his 3/4 years he's been here is when he wasn't in the same team as bazza. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Joao's Tooth Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Average footballer that is replaceable What does he actually bring to the team? He doesn't have the attributes to make a good winger which is why we see him play inside so much He isn't quick enough or agile enough he rarely takes on a man, complete lack on confidence in himself to do so Rather see us have a flair player out there someone willing to be direct and get at players We've had similar players if not better players that we have picked up on a free (Ross Wallace springs to mind) There's also more efficient wingers in League 1 that would provide us as fans more entertainment and offer more of a attacking threat Mallik Wilks at Hull - Left footer 14 goals in 28 appearances for Hull this season can play lw rw even played cf (Played well at Barnsley they signed him from Leeds and then let him go to Hull - problems with attitude more than application) Siriki Dembele at Peterborough - 24 games 5 goals 8 assists played as a forward a lot this season but can play on the wings - right footed (Contract up at the end of season) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reach 194 games, 19 goals, 30 assists Harris 70 games, 3 goals, 7 assists Bannan 223 games, 11 goals, 35 assists Harris isn’t really comparable. Bannan, who is hero worshipped has produced less than a player who’s been played at LB, RB, LWB, RWB, LW, RW, CM, CF. Bannan also gets to take all the set plays. A goal/assist every 4 games is not a bad return. I only wish we had two of him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you’re saying is Reach has been phenomenal in previous seasons and this season is bringing his average down so he’s only marginally in front of the others overall?

0114 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Don’t be shocked when Adam Reach moves to another Championship club and hits the ground running when he’s played as a winger. He’s utterly wasted playing a CM. He offers nothing, his best asset is his crossing. He has 3 assists to his name this season... 1. Windass v Norwich - Unreal cross from left 2. Paterson v Reading - Cross from left 3. OG v QPR - Cross from left 6 assists last season... 1. Nuhiu v Leeds - Cut back from the left 2. Rhodes v Forest - Great cross from the right 3. Nuhiu v Charlton - Cross from left 4. Luongo v Wigan - Pull back from the right 5. Fletcher v Boro - Cross from right side 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start of the season apart from Iorfa he was the only player we had who we could get any kind of decent money for. He will have no problems finding another club from mid table up to ones expected to be in the playoffs and he will play on the left for 95% of his time there. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
